STEAL, LIES, ALL THE WORST
DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THESE PEOPLE. THEY MAKE ME NAUSEOUS. THESE PEOPLE CAN DO ALL THE WORST THING ON THIS EARTH. THEY PROBABLY ROBBED 60% OF NEW YORK LONG ISLAND. I HATE THEM A LOT. THEY ASKED ME 21000 DOLLARS FOR A MERCEDEA. THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT FINANCE WITH THEM, THEY AGREE FOR THE PRICE, WE SAT AND STARTED THE CONTRACT. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 2 HOURS SITTING. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SALE, THEY ADDED 5200 DOLLARS ON THE PRICE. THEY WERE TRYING TO ROB ME, BUT GOD IS GOOD, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Crooks and LIARS! Save your time.
I found a 200* 530xi being sold by this dealer. I went there Saturday, January 5th. The car was $16,495. + "a vehicle recondition fee" to be assessed on Sunday. Depending on the recondition fee, i signed and left a deposit of $500. I was called Monday, January 7th, saying the recondition fee is $1,795. The total for the car was now $18,290.0 I spoke with Max (salesman ) and said i wont pay more than $17,500. He went back to his manager chris and said OK to $17,500. 5 hours went by and noone contacted me about my financing papers. i called at 4PM and was told they no longer will sell the car to me because the price is too low. They also said they neever agreed to $17,500. There are multiple reviews about this company with similar experiences. I now need to go back and get my deposit of $500. I have never dealt with less professional and dishonest people in my life.

Crooks
They charge a bunch feeds and car was never inspected. Stay away. They charge 3500 dollars in inspections and car had a ton of issue. chris is the fiance guy who gets you to spend more money and uses the banks as an excuse. Custome serivce is horrible. Ha d me waiting two hours and were requesting cash for down payment because wanted to avoid taxes and credit card feeds. I would never go back or recommend this place to any one. I am looking into a lawsuit again this company. i was refer by another friend who also got ripped off with ridiculous interest rate that was chargeed.

Northern auto traders
they arre crooks at northern auto traders...i am a victim of a scam and i fell for it....i thought i was bying a car for 29000 so i put 10000 down so i should have only financed 19000 plus taxes and other fees.after waiting there for about 5 hours they present me the paper work stating that this all the interest fees and that it was mandatory for me to buy the extended warranty to get a better rate...when i recieved my loan statement they uped the price of the car to 39000 stealing my 10000 deposit we have to put these crooks away they cannot possibly get away with this.on my receipt it says vehicle purchase amount 31000 but on my loan i owe 34000 so they basically frauded me and upped the price of the car 10000 stealing my initial down payment so basically i financed 100 percent of the car

Don't go to Northern Auto Traders
I went to purchase a vehicle for my daughter. We test drove the vehicle and sat down with the salesperson to pay for the vehicle in full. I was told that I could not pay for the vehicle in full and had to finance the vehicle through the dealer or else I would have to pay more than the advertised price. When I told the salesperson that this was illegal, the manager came out and told me that they did not want to do business with me. This place is a scam. They do not sell the cars at advertised prices. They try to rip you off with the financing. Don't trust this dealership.

Bunch of Hustlers
The internet price they had listed for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan was $12,995, but the only way to get that price was to finance the vehicle through them. If not the price was $16,000. I wanted to trade in my vehicle and they offered me $2300.00, but then on the price sheet they deducted an additional $800 for dealers fees....On top of that they told me that I had to pay $1650 in fees to prep vehicle... The sales team was not knowledgeable of the vehicles in their showroom and tried to push you into any vehicle.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM NORTHERN AUTO TRADERS
I went to buy a 2008 sentra for $8995, the list price almost 2 years ago. It ended up costing me over $13000. Since then, I have had to have all 4 tires replaced, new motor mounts, new brake pads, and a completely new engine. According to my mechanic, the engine was bad way before I purchased the car. Now, I need my steering wheel fixed or replaced. My 4 year old car with 65,000 miles is now costing me a fortune, even though I do regular maintenance. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE. WORST EXPERIENCE WITH CARS. WILL NEVER GO BACK.

Scamers, un PROFFESIONAL simply the worst!
This dealership post incredible prices online to fish in customers, once there is where their evil and greed start. Customer care or future business with the customer means nothing to them! They only care of either stealing your down payment and have you go to court to get it back or selling you a car with so many extra fees that do not exist! Never the less I purchased a car from them because I was in desperate need of one, the whole experience was horrible. I had to purchase additional warranty because I I didn't I wasn't able to purchase the car. Where does this happen? This is optional! Whatever, I purchased it aswell, got charged for plates even though I did a plate transfer, ( thieves) I moved and misplaced my warranty papers to get my car checked before it expires, been calling and even went in to request for a copy or just get te warranty company phone number, since they are a seperate company ( another form of commission for these crooks) they cannot provide me with the number not copy of the paperwork of my car. Mind you, it's only been 7 months since I purchased the car. Could it be the warranty company does not exist and just took the extra $3000? I don't know, what I do know is that they are the worse I drea the fact I ever stepped foot in there and will never return to give those crooks business, even if my life depended on it, I would never again go there.

They took my downpayment and my trade in
I saw the suv on cars.com advertised by Northern auto traders for $20995.Norhtern auto trader said they will honer the price but they added $1495 to the price for inspection. they added several finance fees and several warranty packages which I didn`t want but they said it was required by the bank. I called the bank the bank told it is not true. they stated the mileage 59k on document I sign and speedometer stated 68k. finnally, after calling the bank and started complainning, norhtern auto trader reprocessed my suv and kept my downpayment and my trade in

Dissapointed and Angry Buyer
Do not buy a vehicle from these guys, they are a bunch of liars and they truly give used car dealers a bad reputation. From the moment I walked in I got a bad feeling. They lied about the price of the vehicle, when we sat down they to negotiate with them they changed the price on us saying that they made a mistake with the tax and it was going to be more money. Additionally they charged a $1,500 + dealer fee, compared to other dealers fees that are $1000 and sometimes less. More importantly, despite the vehicle warranty the AC died after one week of having the vehicle and they refused to do anything for us. Like the other customers I should have gone with my original gut feeling! Don't waste your time, your money or your patience on these people they are Crooks!

(CROOKS)Things You Should Know About Northern Auto Traders
First thing is first. Meet the family! Cris(owner) Imran(finance crook) Mariana(overweight receptionist). Most of their business is conducted through the internet because of their location. They run these so call internet specials. First thing you will notice when you enter the place is that the price on the window and the price on the internet are completely different by a couple of thousand dollars. Reason for this INTERNET PRICE DOES NOT EXIST. They advertise the vehicle under their purchased price. Now once you sit down first thing they will do is fill out a sheet. Then the credit application and the buyers order. BUT! there is another sheet and it comes into play once they have filled out everything and have taken your deposit. The USED VEHICLE RECONDITIONING, which is a buch of ***, its a so called 146 points of inspection conducted on the vehicle. They can charge you anywhere from $1,495 to $5,000. Nothing is done on your vehicle but the inspection if that. In some occasions they have been known to just slap on a sticker and bring you back for the inspection. Before you purchase the vehicle insurance is needed, which is a bunch of crock. Just another way of them making you feel like you have all ready bought the car. next they collect the total downpayment, which you will have a hassle getting it back. They claim that the banks need all this stuff upfront before they can actually bring you in the office! BullSiht! The finance guy will overcharge you on alot of things. They will give you to options one with a very high interest rate, another one with a low interest rate. If you take the one with the low interest rate you supposevely have to purchase vin etching, warranty, gap insurance, so on so forth. Most of those items cost $700.00 to book. If they feel your a sucker they will overcharge you by thousands. Of coarse that is how they make their money!! The finance guy (Imran) will find a way to make you buy it and *** you over big time. DONT BUY INTO IT!! I tell you from experience i bought a honda civic from them and ended up paying just about $30,000.00 for it! You live and you learn. I trusted and got burned.! I advise everyone to stay away. For those who have been hurt by them. Sue them just like i am.!

Cons
I went to northern auto on friday feb 25 11 I made a deposit of $2000. I told the guy that my credit is bad and i didnt feel comfortable leaving a deposit before knowing if i will get approved,he assured me that the bank needs to see the money before the approve anything and I like a idiot fell for the trick, however the didnt approve me and its now wednesday the only day off I have for the week and now the told me have to wait until friday to pick my money up. Now the sales guy told me that I can pick up my refund anytime I want before i initially gave it to him, now I have to call out from work to go to long island city to get my money, how easy the take ur money but make there own rules to give you y our money back. pissed, now the sales people dont follow up wit u or call to say anything, I had to keep calling all day just to get a response, I wasted two of my days off with theses guys just because the keep telling to wait,when I could be out taking care of other business. I would not recommend anyone to this place, the have a sign out side saying that bad credit no problem yet you dont get approve, and the sales staff and management do not follow up wit u its as if you are asking them for a favor, please stay away from this place as the are some crooks and not honest from up front, the sales guy even told me dont worry about it we approve anyone, I am really upset I gave a deposit and now have to take off from work to get my money back based on there convenience. waste of time at that place wayne hintzwa@***.com

Cheaters, liars, thieves!
What a bunch of crooks! I should have trusted my instinct and walk away. First of all, they have a bunch of kids working there. Their sales people promised us many things, which never happend. They sold us a bogus car and REFUSED to fix it, even though they told us ANYTHING that goes wrong or breaks on the car within two months / 2000 miles, they would fix themselves, no cost. We though "great there is no way this deal could go wrong". The manager there is a real piece of work. When my husband demanded that they fixed what it is wrong, he sweared him out and called him the worst names and chased him out of his office like a dog. They never gave us the carfax l or mechanical report like promised, they kept putting it off. Also, once you come down to the table, the price if like $5000 more with a bunch of ridiculous charges. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. Pay a little extra and go to a reputable place.

Bad business to deal with these guys thieves they will lose your money and claim you signed it away
Have stolen peoples deposits and said that they signed a form saying this but can't produce the form don't think they are on the up and up on any thing they do!!!They have one guy who handled all money transactions ! Come on!! sounds like they are sneaky to me! And he is back and forth to his country overseas ? They get real unfriendly when u tell them u want your money back . Be careful with these guys they are not endorsed by the BBB. They refused to answer the BBB letters or call. Why would they not if they are in good business?

Wow!
My graduation present from my parents was a car. They were over joy and proud of me, they let me pick any car I wanted as long as I stayed under the budget of $25,000. After a couple of months of searching on the web and going through all the dealerships in Boston for the perfect car I came up short. I saw on somebody's license plate a website (liccars.com) I decided to check them out. I found an amazing 2005 BMW 5 series. I thought it was too good to be true. I was a little unsure about buying a car all the way in New York. I sent in an email and immediately got a response from someone on the sales team. I told them the truth about wanting a car but I was in Boston and wasn't sure about the process. They assured me that they have done plenty of out-of-state deals in the past and I had nothing to worry about. My parents and I took a drive to New York on Friday morning. I test drove the vehicle and was pretty psyched!! The car was NOT a lemon =) the whole team over there are very unite and helpful towards one another. That along made the transaction very easy. There was no yelling or fighting, it was as if we were buying a car from a family member. They even had a BBQ and asked us to join them. I'm happy that I took a chance on them, I got a great car, new friends and proud parents (in the sense of they know I can make life decisions on my own). Life can't get any better!
