you son of 3 legged goat, I keel you. I sell car very cheep. You are making lie on me, I bet my goat on it. I offended by your accusations, my cars are very very nice, even ones with duct tape holding bumper up. I very offended when you say I smell like goat…..it was lamb…big difference. You are infidel and when I see you again I keel you….unles you wish to buy car.
GUYS BEWARE !!! DONT EVER even visit their website, forget buying. Either they will take your money or will give a piece of junk which can only be sold as scrap !
And that FCKR FARID says he doesnt know details about the car if you ask him anything about the damage. As if the Bastard buys with his eyes closed. BIGGES MF on this planet.
JUST DONT EVEN TRY TO BUY ANYTHING from WORLDWIDE AUTO.
He has various websites so BEWARE… SCAMSTER !!
I wanted a 2011 Jetta, looks like it has minor damage on the front hood, bumper and fender. They said it’s clean title, but then I visited the website again and in the browser title it says “Salvage”. Then the Paypal request, terms says Salvage, but sales agent says it’s clean. Why all this? So they can protect themselves when I find out in fact it’s salvage.
Then I Googled their business name + scam, and whala here I am reading all of your fine stories. Sorry Worldwide Auto (http://getwwa.com) not this time, not today, I will keep my hard earned money!!
There is a way to stop those criminals !!!
Go to their list on eBay WRECKEDCARSFORSALE
Pick a post that does not ACCEPT PAY PAL and select BUY IT NOW
The post will immediately remove from their list showing ENDED
They can’t report unpaid because any buyer has a right to pay only through PAY-PAL or eBay
Recently i clicked on 8 cars to BUY IT NOW and they have no recourse
The eight posts that I click have been removed from their list and now these criminals will have to deal with ebay and pay fees and explain to eBay that the cars are junk titles and they are not accepting pay pal because they don’t need buyers under eBay protection
It’s totally legitimate to choose to” buy it now” and not pay because eBay themselves are warning buyers not to pay outside of eBay or paypal.
If anyone complains only here with just reviews it will not stop them from hurting new victims.
They are based on eBay and if only part of you guys click on them, in a very short time eBay is going to kick them out for good. It will be the end of this crime organization in Utah.
I’ll be glad to give more info [email protected]
i love your thinking, Sounds genius. i going to recomend that to everyone that i know to click on them
Let’s hope that this is their end. I myself am one of them victims,,
Thanks,
Monique
Guys F*** them in any way you’ll can.
These bas**s need a good blow.
Best of Luck.
They have many domains getwwa.com
surcitymotors.com
make sure before you deal with these MFs.
Guys BEWARE !!
These M Frs have endless domains and advertise on them and many innocent people are conned. And they post on E bay and there is a firm by the name of NETNEUTRALS.COM and since they pay them they remove the negative feedback posted… dont be carried away with their feedback on Ebay.
Its all a game made by these scamsters.
thanks for the tip.. it doesn’t hurt to try if It’s gonna put a dent in their organization..
Thanks Moshe,
U wanna know how he gets negative feedback removed from E Bay?
He pays NETNEUTRALS.COM. They get paid by the hiring party so obviously they rule in his favor.
When I left -ve feedback he says I am HARRASING him to get car in half price! R U kidding me ? As it is this Fckrs cars are all JUNK which are far less than half price!
All a BUNCh of scamsters in that office.
there is a way to stop thos criminals !!!
go to them list on ebay WRECKEDCARSFORSALE
check PAYMENT OPTION
most of them posts are not accepting pay pal
pick some post that not accept pay pal and push BUY IT NOW
the post immediately remove from them list ENDED

Wow..!! I wish I would’ve seen these before I bought.. these people are the lowest of the low.. they fixed up the cars even put them back on with wires and zip ties.. they’re scammers liars and thieves.. cars have way more damage than what they assure.. I mean at least leave the vehicles as they sit instead of misleading customers with false claims.. I would love to join any class actions against this company.. keep me posted.. !!
please read my new review
thanks: Moshe Sasson
nancy was a professional and such great help. I would recommend WWA
You must be an employee or related to one. You give a raving review and 100% of the others are the lowest posdible. The experience you are reporting is so far opposite of everyone elses that you aren’t credible.
Sure what ever you say WWA employee..
Which one of those thieves are you sleeping with?
KEN donno which not is a WHORE! Thrz a F**g BITCH NANCY whoz I guess the BIGGEST WHORE in WWA. and she exactly knows how to manipulate bcz that owner FARID is her PIMP.
That Bast***D thinks he is some big shit living on other peoples money. Shows as if he has no time .. the piece of SHIT that he is.. guess doesnt even know how many fathers he has…
world wide auto are very deceitful will not do business with them again
NANCY ? is she related to you ? or you are part of the scam. Shez the biggest liar in that office and acts as if shez some big Shit ! worst than F** a cleaner on the streets.. either she sleeps with that f*** Santi or gets a huge pay check. Liar ! forges documents and sends to clients.
These people are liers, crooks and thieves. Me and my brother purchased a BMW to rebuild and split the profit. It looked like a minor damaged car, but when we got the car the hood and the headlights were both replaced to make the damage seem like it just minor, we are still fighting them in court.
I would not recommend these crooks to my worst enemy, taking someones hard earned money….. Just wait till they mess with someone who’s patience and nerves are way weaker than most of us, they will get what they deserve.
OHH NO ! Alexi that WHORE NANCY is the biggest BITCH in WWA.
Probably that FCKR FARID is her PIMP.
Both work in hand in glove. The bitch thinks no end of herself and thinks everyone is a fool.
Need someone to book these crooks and put them behind bars.
All scammed in anyway plz report to Enforcement Division of local DMV and also report to FBI.
There is also a FBI investigation initiated so plz provide them leads.
KJ do U belon to this SCAMSTERS clan or their family?
NANCY??? R U kidding me? Shez the biggest whore I have seen in my life ! A thorough bred BITCH who knows how to play around with customers and their money. Probably thaz why that fat ass Santi has hired her and probably after office also she serves him… and probably U too KJ. thats why U write good about her. Even the trucking guy who was working for them curses this bitch !
are you serious buddy?
Whom are you trying to fool? That BITCH NANCY and her pimp SANTI; the M FR ! He should be hanged the bastard he is !
It took him 3 months for returning my wire of 37K for a car which never existed ! He is fcg bastard with no ethics and donno if he knows also who his father was.. a man or a dog ! FCKR PIMP !
Im an Auto transportor. The girls behind the counter are obviously relatives of the owners. They treated me so bad I told them to go find someone else to move their cars. I don’t turn down money very often but I will never do anything for these rude jerks.

moshe sasson
good for you I applaud anyone who doesn’t sellout and maintain their integrity overall!!
Very true bro. All these girls behind their desk are part of the scam going on. These bitches are paid for that and best is all are related to the great scamster who is known as Santi aka Farid.
You should have just F*** her dude !
All they need is someone to F*** them hard.
And that pimp Santiago…hez a bastard.
M Fr lives on other peoples money who has nothing better in life to do
Could anyone email me a copy of the bill of sale or as/is contract they signed to [email protected] would really like to go over it. Thanks
Pic of eBayed car showed light damage to rear DS and front end. Drove 165 miles to have a look/see. Odometer showed less than 3,000 miles but all tires were worn out, plus the rims were from a different year model. Car was described as lot driveable, but transaxle was obviously damaged and axle halfshaft was MIA.
Walked inside the shop, very obvious a frame machine and three body/fender guys were working to cover over damage which would be hidden from the camera.
Very obvious this operation needs shut down before someone gets shot. NEVER buy without making a firsthand visit and inspection.

Once again guys, i feel blessed, i was suppose wire them the money on Monday for a car i wanted to buy, fix and sell but i just had this bad feeling about them so i googled the company and found this. For most of you $10,000 is nothing but to me it was pretty much life savings and thankfully i will keep it a bit longer !
Wow thanks to this i will not be buying from them, thanks guys !
Paid a $1000 deposit then googled the VIN and found the real pictures of the accident. Tried to get my deposit back but could only get 50%. I got somewhat lucky but definitely scammed and upset. Is there any ways to start a class action against them? they’re just scamming everybody there must have a way to stop this. I’m ready to chip in. Let me know [email protected]
Same here buddy i googled the vin and found the real damage done the truck i had purchased but never got any of my money back..

SET FIRE T0 $23,650 ON HARD EARNED MONEY WITH THESE CROOKS ON A 2010 CLS550 MERCEDES. the 1st phone call i made to there facility got me in contact with there gypsy conman salesman santiago who put the full court press on me to paypal over a 1,000 over the phone if i wanted the car, silly me I paypal’d them the 1000 deposit within minuted because i wanted the car i thought i was buying….. in the few minutes i spoke to santiago i had never been treated so shitty by somebody that was trying to sell me a high price item, which in a sick way made me think that i better jump on it because if he was really trying to screw me he would be telling me what i want to hear not pushing me away like what he was doing, anyways I send the deposit and i wire transfered the remainder of the funds within the next day or two for the remainder owed…..1st major RED FLAG was they would not let me complete the sale through eBay hence the 100% feedback because my offer was less than there buy it now price was there excuse. the car was advertised RUNS & DRIVES vehicle arrived on the transported with no drive belt , no power steering pulley , Failed air ride suspension sitting on the ground , and broken control arms, and about 25k of other damage which I was somewhat expecting….what was strange about this deal was that these people rarely state the condition of there vehicles but this car was represented to be a running & driving car. interior was had tears in the seats from broken parts being packed in the car , THEY ATTEMPTED TO STRAIGHTEN THE UNREPAIRABLE HOOD SO THE DAMAGE WOULD NOT SHOW IN THE PICTURES , THE 1300.00 BROKEN HEADLIGHT WAS JUST PLACED IN THE HOUSING TO LOOK LIKE A FUNCTIONAL WORKING LIGHT , THE LEFT SIDE CORE SUPPORT WAS EXTREMELY POORLY REPAIRED FOR PHOTO PURPOSES TO HIDE THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO IT , THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A LIGHT HIT AND IT WAS JUST ZIPPED TIED INTO PLACE TO DECEIVE THE BUYER INTO THINKING IT WAS JUST A MINOR REPAIR NEEDED…THE KNEE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND TUCKED IN TO NOT SHOW ., and much much more. What i notice with these people is a blatant attempt to deceive the potential buyers with there low resolution photos and very very brief descriptions, and there bullshit AS IS form they make you sign , what these idiots should know by now is that you can not hide behind a AS IS disclaimer this is a INTEND TO DECEIVE & DEFRAUD ACTS laws in every state that are put into place to stop people like these crooks. The only reason I purchased this car is because I own a streamline Collision Repair facility and we have the tools and the know how to restore these wrecked vehicles…..I paid for way more for this car than what i ended up receiving , I found the original listing off the COPART.COM paige where the actually purchased the vehicle themselves and I saw all the undoctored damages before they started concealing everything for ebay photo purposes…..ANOTHER VICTIM TO THIS DESPICABLE COMPANY , in the process of suing them in TEXAS. I;M NOT JUST GOING AFTER MY MONEY BECAUSE THANKFULLY I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE A GAMBLE LIKE THIS BUT I’M GOING AFTER THE OWNER AND THE COMPANY ASSETS SO IM TAKING MY TIME ON LAWSUITS WERE PUTTING TOGETHER
hello Ben,
So sorry to here about your dealing with these guys. As you can see, we are getting more of these stories almost everyday. Be sure you let ebay know that they forced you to complete this sale outside ebay. Ebay doesn’t like companies that do business like this.
Thanks,
I did contact Ebay and make them aware that these guys VERY VERY rarely complete a sale on ebay and in fact encourage not going through Ebay Adamantly. these guys have between 250-300 cars active postings on Ebay at any one time and they only have 170 feedback in the last FEW YEARS OF BUSINESS….HMMM? of the 170 feeedback only about 30 or 40 are actually for cars they have sold (probobly to there own employees), most of there feedback is for takeoff parts junk parts.
Dam same here i ended finding the original listing by running the vin on google, the pictures all clear and when i received the truck disaster, totally totaled a hacked up job to make it look good for the pictures a big ass quote just to get it running. What i thought was a good deal was a disaster i ended up selling it in parts what ever parts where good. This guys are total scam artist…
These guys are thiefs. Just google them, Farid Santiago Guanuna, Gary Guanuna, Angelica Guanuna and the father who is Edgar Guanuna. They’ve all been in jail for crimes and they are low lifes, classless, unhonest people who think that just because they have money (which they earned from stealing and lying to people)they think they can get away with doing this stuff to people. They need to have their business shut down.

please look at my review
thanks moshe
If anyone here is currently suing these crooks or has already sued them, please contact me asap. I have the means to put these people in their place. I will be much easier for attorney that is already familiar with their scams. Please contact me at [email protected]
liars and wally from the LA yard is a pig
To all of you that have been faithfully following, I PREVAILED! The Judge ruled on my favor after seeing clear proof of fraud. The judge did not let them hide behind the as-is. They had a very good lawyer who in absence of good facts to his client’s favor made himself look like a meatball!!!!!! They flew in grandma Angelica who claimed that she had no knowledge of anything, her statements were slick and she made herself look like an ass in front of the judge. Funny, they had offered me $500 to not sue them. So far they have paid between attorney and travel expenses at least $2,000. I know they will appeal it, and I have already spoken to a great lawyer who I will give all that he can collect just to slap the shit out of their mouth! To make matters worse for these losers, I bought two cars at the same time, and so far have sued them only for the first car. As soon as this is done, I will sue them for the second car! It will be a long training course for them! I am happy they met with someone like me who does not give a rat’s ass for the money! I will make them regret the day they dealt with me!
Hello Genc,
Great job and Thanks from all of us to take them to the wood shed. It maybe personnal but it would be nice to know how much of your money you got back? I hope to hear more from you and others about getting back at them for all the wrong they have done.
Best regards,
Well Marc my first lawsuit was for only one car, half its price. As soon as I am done with that I will send them a demand letter for the second one and then if they fail to meet it I will file another lawsuit! It will be fun! If anyone decides to sue them I will be glad to share the information with them.
Marc, can you please email me. I want to know more about the story and will need your help. Thanks
We would like to know the outcome also. We just purchased a truck from them which already cost us $3000, in repairs and still have to replace the drivers side mirror,2 fenders and repair the bumper. The differentail was broken and the frame was bent. Hope everything works out for you. These guys should get what they deserve.
please see my post on the top

THIS COMPANY SUCKS,they are LIERS,i got a truck form them ,they take pictures so they can hide most of damages so i called asked SANTIAGO more question about the truck he lied about every question i asked about the damages ,so base on the information i got from SANTIAGO i purchased the truck ,when truck got to me i was very disappointed to see more damage ,driver of the shipping company told me that he sees this every time he deliver a car for them,i call them and talked to GARY he was not help full and very unpleasant told me nothing he would do for me,if you check there Better business bureau they have 33 complain for the same .i do not know how they are still in business and ripping people off ?there should be a way to stop people like them .
I am almost at the hearing date. I sued them in a small claims court for $10K. If you guys can please make a notarized statement about your trouble with WWA and send it to me either by fax or by email. I will present them to the court. I urge you all file a claim in a small claims court in your town. The law allows you to do it and you do not have to pay a lawyer. The notarized statement that you would send me, the same can be used for filing the claim. If you need a sample email me at [email protected]. PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT THERE SO NO MORE PEOPLE BECOME VICTIMS OF THESE SCAMMERS!
Hello Genci,
Any update on the case with Worldwide Auto?
Thank you from all of us!
My hearing is on April 19, 2012. I will post in here and let everyone know how it went. It would help if I had names and phone numbers for people that have fallen victims of these crooks. Please email me at [email protected]
I must say that I know the owners well and they roll around in $200,000 cars themselves. I would also like an update on what happened with your case. sue the bastards
Hey Romeo,
These bastards all they do is roll in peoples money and give you all stories that banks delay and all the shit. They returned my money after 2 MONTHS. and that too after filing with ED DMV and FBI and court filing.
That bastard FARID is a PIMP who has 3-4 whores managing the whole show and sleeps around with them. Fckr never attends calls and shows as if he doesn’t know anything.
Hello Everyone,

GOOD LUCK
My hearing date was reset because the attorney they hired had another hearing. They hired one of the best attorneys in Houston. It shows they know they screwed up bad!!!! May 30 is the new date. I will keep everyone posted on the outcome.
Bunch of thieves truck i bought was nothing like in the pictures. It was a roll over which i knew but did such a hack up pulling the roof which was beyond repair nothing like the description. The whole truck was totalled 6k estimate to get it going not to mention what i paid . I ended up parting it out what ever parts where good. I ran the vin # and found the actual pictures of the real damage oh my god i couldn’t believe it. We should all get together and sue this fucken thieves..
Run screaming into the night. GET AWAY from them. SAVE YOURSELF. Liars, cheaters, scammers, frauds, cons etc etc etc. They butcher up the vehicles to hide the damage. I bought three vehicles from them. 2005 Excursion, 2007 F350 King Ranch and a 2006 F150 Lariat. Excursion was rolled. I knew that. What they didn’t show or tell me when asked was when they jack the roof up to make it prettier they base of the jack went through the floor into the transmission. They jacked it so far all of the roof pillars were pulled in. They jacked the windshield opening out and streched it so far it is impossible to ever put a windshield back in. They cold pulled the frame and that finished it off. The body shop said it is now impossible to repair. The King Ranch. They cold pulled the frame in several different places and it now needs replacd. They streched the left rail so far the steering box broke off at the bolts. Had nothing to do with the original wreck. The F150. They jacked the left inner fender and core support out by using the firewall as the jack base support. It got crushed into the fuse box and under dash wiring harness. Cut, smashed and destroyed. They put a windshield in. Down the left side there was a 4″, that’s right, a 4 inch gap between the glass and the windshield frame. The left frame rail was cold pulled and as a result destroyed it. All of this can be verified by contacting the body shop in Scobey Montana where these vehicles were brought for the listed and pictured repairs. None of these vehicles can be repaired without frame and body replacement. The majority of the damage was intentionally hidden either by poor pictures or these butcher shop repairs. Also the majority of the damage on these three vehicles was a result of the frame stretching and body jacking done by them or their associates. These people are terrible fuck bags.
Hey Ken, I was not the salesperson, I was your customer service person with not information about car condition, please get my name off from this.
Hey Maura,
You may not be a salesperson! But you are a contributor and part of the devious scamming going on at Worldwide and are starting to have a conscience about how your company cheats people, then go find an honest job with an honest company somewhere else in UT. Just so you know unemployment in UT is one of the lowest in the US at 5.8%.
Good luck and I hope we never hear your name written in letters from customers again.
Maura,
do you ever watch American Greed? It shows stories of scam artists who upon getting nailed got the whole crew screwed. I guess you can either be on the scammer’s team or do the right thing. Sooner or later, you will meet the David that will bring your scam down!
Scam like the one you guys pull on daily, its a ticking bomb!
BE AWARE GUYSSSSS DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE!!!!
DO NOT BUY FROM THESE THIEVESSSSSS SCAMMERRRRRRRRSS
OK SO BASICALLY I SAW A BMW COUPE ON EBBAY WHICH SHOWED THAT IT ONLY NEEDS MINOR THINGS FOR FIX- CONTACTED THEM TO BUY AND THEY INSTANTLY DIVERTED ME FROM EBAY TO MAKE A DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL- SO I MADE THE DEPOSIT SINCE THIS SANTIAGO GUY WAS BEING REALLY PUSHY FOR IT… AFTER ON MY DOWNTIME I DECIDED TO READ SOME REVIEWS ON THEM AND WOW WAS I SURPRISED!!
THEY BOUGHT THIS CAR MANGLED FROM ANOTHER AUCTION FOR 5300- ENGINE HAD HOLES WITH BRROKEN CAM GEARS EXPOSED ETC AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO FRONT END. SO THEY PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER TEMP TO MAKE IT PICTURE PERFECT. I GOOGLED THE VIN AND FOUND OUT THE REAL STORY ON THIS BMW
NOW I AM FIGHTING TO GET MY DEPOSIT BACK AS THEY TOLD ME IT RUNS AND DRIVES OVER THE PHONE… I MEAN HOW CAN THE CAR EVEN START WITH THE VALVE COVER OFF AND BROKEN CAMS???? OFCOURSE THEY ONLY TOLD ME VERBALLY THAT THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES
THESE GUYS ARE SCAM ARTISTS AND PLEASEEEEEEEEE BE VERY CAREFULL. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY BY SCAMMING YOU
THESE PPL SHOULD BE IN FOR FRAUD !!!
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THEM OR IF YOU REALLY WNT TO GOOGLE THE VIN NUMBER!!!!
Please speak to a lawyer and sue them. I have filed a lawsuit and will bring them down to Montgomery County, Texas for a court hearing, hopefully in March. I will post results. The cars I bought from them, they had them both advertised as run and drive. One has major damage, no cooling system, all wiring has been ripped off under the hood, whereas the second one had severe body frame, no cooling system, no fan assembly, no turbo, headlights were clipped with wire to stay in place for the pictures. I have paid a private investigating firm in Utah and LA, they employee illegal immigrants, and also have numerous violations. Utah Office of Attorney General has undergoing investigations against them as a business and Santiago, Farid, Maura, Angela.
Sue them and hopefully they will learn their lesson!!!
Please do sue them they have done the same to us.
Here it goes ” how I was deceived and cheated”
I saw a nice 2007 infiniti m45 listed in their website. I liked it so I sold my car to buy that car. I asked sales person about the car, where I was told only cosmetic damage. I asked if any wheel is messed up?– answer was “No everything is fine except paint” I believed that because pictures were soo clear and only there was some scratches and broken bumper.I paid for the car and I got the car after 1 and half month with spare tire on it. not only spare tire, it came with bended suspension, no disc brake , bended lower control arm and broken and bended 3 wheels. I tried to start the car but I couldnot so I thought battery was dead and bougth new one still i couldn’t start the car so I had to tow the car to the mechanic where I was told engine is bad. I didnt believe the mechanic so I towed the car and took it the another well- known mechanic and the answer was same. He came up with $9975 engine plus labor. I told him to hold on to the car and I called Maura she said she can’t do nothing so I talked the the Manager of WORLD WIDE AUTO” ANGELICA” she said write me everything in email so i did, i sent her another email after a week still she didnot response my email so I called her and all the time I was denied to talk to her. she never replied my email neither called me back so I replace used engine with cost of around $7000.0 , I sent all cost to the manager of wwa and I told them to pay me back $2600 for the suspension job because I was deceived by the company, they placed pictures with nice wheel in website but when I received the car it was with bended wheels, spare tire and dead engine.
I was cheated and deceived by the WWA, so Please I need help to defend this fraud so I beg you to help me anyhow you know. thank you
These guy are using the internet to direct you from Ebay and the safe buying site. Please be very careful they will lie to you about a vechicle you have already paid for! The next thing you know there a problem with the paperwork/Title on their end. The car can’t be sold to you after they have your money. The first sign, call him and not run the sale though EBAY.Second sign places deposit and the vechicle still will be shown on their other sites. Opening a chance for another buyer to email a higher bid than your. Now here come the game! all of sudden your bought and pay for Vechicle Can’t be sold the (same)Transport company you had hire is hauling for new buyer. They call you by mistake to ask you about delivery to a different State.New buyer location. The office staff are very rude concerning the refund of the purchase amount as will as deposit. I will never deal with these people again.So learn from us all in don’t deal with these people. If you do you will regett it. If I had found this site before my dealing in Dec 2011 I would haven’t deal with them. BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!!
EXACT same CON GAME !!
What are the authorties doing after getting so many complaints ? Delaership are governed by local state DMV; why not shut them?
They have done exactly same to me also. have been using nearly 40K $ for past 3 weeks and no sign of refund. All the persons duped by these con family lets get to gether and file a lawsuit at least worth a million $.
Any one willing to take up the challenge? My help will surely be there.
Count me in, i bought a truck that looked like a beat up budweiser can. I ended up stripping it and sold as many parts as could of it to re-coop some of my money, still have a shit load of parts in garage that i could not sell.
Was interested in buying a 2010 Audi A3 TDI (WAUKJAFM2AA137388) they listed on ebay which ends on 12-22-11. The car looks fairly decent in the ad so I decided to give them a call to get more info on the car. The guy stated that its a very easy hit to the front right. So I said that I will have by brother come by and check it out since he lives in L A Area. When I called him back 10 minutes later, he said that the car is now in Salt Lake city. Clearly they do not want you to inspect they’re cars before you purchase them because the extent of the damage is far beyond what can be visible in the pictures. Next thing I did is search for some reviews about other peoples experiences with these guys and boy, am I lucky or what to run into this site. Per other reviewers recommendation I Googled the cars VIN number and found out that the cars nose was completely destroyed. The repair cost indicated by insurance company was $24789. PEOPLE, please do yourselves a favor, avoid these guys and spread the message
These guys put on their website the headlights worked and they came and didn’t work. I also found they bought the truck I bought from them on ridesafely.com and it looked like it had more damage. They put on headlights to make the truck look better so that I would buy it for more money. Talked with Santiago and he’s just a liar too. I would never do business with them again. Think twice, and do a VIN check on the vehicle you are buying, even if on google, you’ll see they’re ripping you off.
Before you buy a car from them, run the VIN numbers in google. I learned to do this after I was scammed. I bought a BMW which is not good for anything but parts. The pictures on their website show a car with a good bumper so I assumed just hood damage. I was shocked at the damage the car had. I ran the vin and saw that car had been sold in Van Nyse CA in a parts only cars auction for $3750. WWA sold it to me for twice the money plus shipping. The pics from the auction in Van Nyse show the actual damage to the car in detail. The crooks at WWA cover the damage. But time has come for them to pay. I am fucking suing their assess off!
Wow i made the worst mistake to buy a car from them. If i would of known about this web site before, for sure i wouldn’t bought from them. They are liers, scamers,anything you can think of dishosnesty. PEOPLE STAY WAYS FROM THIS PLACE, NO MATTER HOW GOOD OF A DEAL THEY ARE GIVING YOU. If you want to buy a cheap car just go to the auction, there for sure you know what you are buying. This people get the cars from the auctions and sell the cars for a much higher price.STAY AWAY
Terrible scammers and thieves . The lie like hell

Paid them by Visa 1,000 as a deposit on July 1st.
First red flag! They require balance of purchase amount be paid by wire, you pay the 25.00 dollars fee. Then I did wire the balance on July 8th 2011.
Second red flag Farid a sales person/ Manager 2011 Jetta lied about the size of the engine – 2.5 and the model, when in fact it was a 2.0L S, that’s 2,800.00 dollar value less KBB. When I complained they stated that it was my reasonability to check the VIN with the dealer for accuracy! What are they talking about? You can not even read the VIN number accuracy on the web site. Whos selling this car you or me! I have never heard of a dealer selling a car and telling the buyer make sure you check the vin with a dealer to make sure we are listing it correctly! really….
Then a few days later Farid calls me to say that when they where loading the car on the trailer the driver noticed that the transmission case was broken! Uh, yes I don’t want it!
He agreed to auction it of later. Didn’t care just I am not buying that piece of crap. So, now Farid says I can refund you the money less your 1,000 dollars or keep the balance for 2 weeks because I have another Jetta coming it thats even better! He would offer it to be before posting it on the internet. That also, required that I pay for even more parts and them another 400.00 and 150.00 for shipping – this car is only worth new 14,500. new!
Car was posted first and I had to call him about it – Then the car he was offering was stripped of the entire front panels! and need a airbag. I said you you nuts its going to cost me a fortune to buy new everything and locate al the nuts and bolts! of front end parts and had even more work involved.
I declined to buy it and after trying to negotiate a complete refund, they have made it clear that I have to buy another car from them and I would have 2 years to buy one. Then when I got my agreement it stated that I only had 5 months to buy another one or let them keep my deposit.
The problem with all of this is that I can no longer trust them with any car I would buy and why would I? They are thieves and should not even be in bussiness.
I also, have this guy Mauricio from UT office sending me an email containing a receipt for crediting my card 1,000 and 5500.00 for a wire transfer. I called a spoke to Maura another customer service/ manager/strong arm gangster of rep. She stated that she does’nt know anthing about the cars or issues and that she is going to keep the 1,000 no matter what!
It all comes down to this everyone! Do not do any business with them and if you do you may end up with a car you can not even fix or sell later.
They lie and will not even do what they say or agree too.
Stay away!
I was looking at an audi RS4 that this company had listed on ebay as a “fixable salvage title car”. It first caught my attention because it was half the price of one in perfect condition. The pictures looked like crap and I asked them some questions about it. They respond very quickly but are so vague it tells me nothing and will not directly answer any of my questions about what exactly is damaged. the car was damaged on the front drivers side and has no fender on it yet the wheel is attached with suspension as if nothing had happened, this is fishy i thought, if a car is hit there the first this messed up is the suspension and rim. after reading the reviews here it is obvious the car must have been hit and they just replaced or hacked the suspension back together and the structure of the car is probably shifted over and bent. I talked to “Farid” (if thats even a real name)on the phone and he would not give me a straight answer, I asked why the car was totaled and he said “insurance companies total cars all the time for no reason, I have Lamborghini that is for sale that only has $5000 worth of damage and it was totaled out” obviously this guy is an idiot. Anyone that knows anything about insurance and how that business works knows they will not pay money out unless they absolutely have no other choice, and they certainly don’t total a lambo for 5k in damage. DO NOT EVEN CALL THIS COMPANY OR LOOK AT THEIR CARS THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. to all of you that did get taken I feel sorry for you and for you who bought multiple cars from them, stop looking at their website and think for yourself, stop listening to con artist salesmen. Thank you all for at least saving others from the same fate by posting reviews online.
Also they have multiple locations, they work out of california as “AUTO EXPORTERS OF LOS ANGELES” and their ebay username is “1STSALVAGEAUTO” they quickly send you a regular email so that they can claim the transaction did not take place within ebay and you will not be covered by ebays buyer protection
I suppose compared to the many others who’s bought from this company, my experience with them certainly wasn’t the worst, but never the less it screwed me up enough to come here and write a glowing review about them.
bought a clean title tundra from them back in april, from the pictures provided, I figured i’d spend at most 3-4 grand on repairs, and I would have landed myself a fair bargain in the end saving a few grand compared to the market price. little did I know just how extensive the damages really were.
did you notice that nearly all their pictures are of low quality and low resolution? that’s done on purpose, not because they lacked a digital camera or a large enough server to store hi-res pics, it is done to hide the true extent of the damage done to the vehicle so that you will make impaired decisions.
when I first inquired about the truck I asked if there are things that needed to be replaced, what kind of accident the truck has been through and such, and all I was told was that the truck was pinched and suffered several panel damage which could be repaired. I was also offered a discounted shipping at 500 dollars, which in the end took over 3 months before I decided to hire a shipping company myself, which cost over 1200.
the truck came in, and I immediately noticed many things that weren’t shown in the pics or otherwise described, 3 out of 4 windows were shattered and gone, the last one had its motor burnt, tailgate is missing, every single light post had their attachment clips destroyed which made them look good only on the pic, 2 lights even had their wiring harness destroyed which I had to fix myself, that’s on top of the frame damage which was hidden by the doors, and the two fender flares that were literally ripped yet looked just dandy in the pictures. after I dragged the truck to a tour of body shops, I was told by almost every shop owner that I had to replace almost every panel on the vehicle, that’s 4 doors, two rear quarters, and 2 fenders, at last I was able to find a shop that was able to repair some of the panels, and I still ended up having to replace 3 doors and the 2 front fenders because they were damaged beyond repair.
now it might sound a little dreadful, but i’m pretty sure I didn’t get the worst of it. sure, these guys might not be con artists, but they sure as hell will rip you off til you are broke. let’s do a little math here and find out just how much they actually over charge their vehicles to begin with, and that’ll help you decide what you can buy from them without suffering a loss, and IF you should buy from them at all:
my vehicle was bought at 8000, while the original selling price was 9000, fair market value at the time for the same vehicle was around 18k, book value being 16k, clean title, the first thing you wanna question is why the insurance company decided to ditch the vehicle, especially one with a clean title, the insurance company only consider the vehicle a loss when the repair bill exceeds 50% of the vehicle’s fair value, in this case, the repair bill would theoretically be 8k. the actually amount I paid to get all the repairs done after almost 3 months of leg works and countless hassles running from salvage shop to salvage shop, was around 6k, and keep in mind the final product is not even comparable to a vehicle that’s never been damaged so badly, especially when you don’t have the option to use all OEM parts. so now my bill is already 14k, plus the 1.2k shipping, and 1.3k in tax, yes your state will tax you based on the vehicle’s full price rather than the purchase price. and now my final bill is reaching 17k, for a vehicle that’s been in a major accident, and one that I will have trouble get rid of due to that fact.
so you see, despite the illusions they create, the prices for their vehicles are actually quite ridiculously high! if you consider in all the factors I listed above along with the wild possibility of doubling your repair estimates due to their inability to tell you the truth, you can easily see just how overprice their vehicles are. I went back there today and checked out many vehicles they have on hold, and true to my suspicion, in almost every case the buyer were looking at a loosing proposition, by buying a vehicle that will cost them more in the end than they had envisioned, while they could have bought an arguably better vehicle for roughly the same end price, if not less, without having to go through all the headache.
in conclusion, buyers BEWARE, while this company is legit and real, and will most likely carry the transaction through, unless you can get them to drop their prices by more than 4000 on any given vehicle, don’t fool yourself thinking you are getting a bargain, all you are getting is trouble and months worth of headache.
LIE,SCAM,CHEAT,STEAL,MISREPRESENT. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WORLD WIDE AUTO OF WEST VALLEY CITY UTAH. I LOST 6500 DOLLARS ON ONE OF THEIR JUNK VECHICLES. THEY WILL LIE UNTIL THE VERY END. ONCE THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY THEY ARE SATISFIED AND SOMEHOW FORGET WHO YOU ARE.
I AM AN AUTO MECHANIC AND CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO. THEY PURCHASE PARTS ONLY VECHICLES AND PUT EFFORT INTO MAKING THEM LOOK GOOD FOR A PICTURE OR TWO. THE AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP I TOOK VECHICLE TO WAS SPEECHLESS THEY COULDNT BELIVE WHAT HAD BEEN DONE. THE VECHILCE COULD NOT BE FIXED THEIR WAS A CROWN IN THE FRAME MIDWAY BACK. THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS AT WORLDWIDE AND RIPPED MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE FRAME.
PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THIS CRAP. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. THIS BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN.
IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT LET ME KNOW AND COUNT ME IN. I AM AVAILABLE DAY AND NIGHT 365 DAYS A YEAR. ANYWAY I CAN HELP PUT THESE PEOPLE IN JAIL WILL BE MY PLEASURE.
Guys I bought two vehicles from these crooks. I bought them to be in run and drive condition. When I got them they have no cooling system installed, no batteries, major damage, I will probably elect to part them out. I will however pay an attorney and sue their asses for life. I know it will cost them what they sold the vehicles for to me. This fucking guys still think I am kidding. I gave them 20 business days to resolve the fraud amicably. Should they not I will sue them in LA, and West Valley Utah where I will drag their assess for deposition back and forth to just their expenses will amount to the money they got from me. I will show them that they are not in Quinto Ecuador to intimidate people, rather they will shit their pants before they scam anyone else
Guys FUCK that bastard FARID & that whore NANCY !
Its a whole team of M FRS CHEATS and scammers.
Start a class action lawsuit againt these crooks and close the dealership. That M fr Farid knows how to remove -ve feedback from EBay also. Where is the DMV and law of this country ?? Any bosy who can book these crooks I am with them with time and money both !

Paid a $1000 deposit then googled the VIN and found the real pictures of the accident. Tried to get my deposit back but could only get 50%. I got somewhat lucky but definitely scammed and upset. Is there any ways to start a class action against them? they’re just scamming everybody there must have a way to stop this. I’m ready to chip in, we need to stop them. Let me know [email protected]
:devil(:devil(:devil(:devil(:devil( THEY ARE THIEVES AND LIARS!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY
I recently contacted Gary G. at Worldwide auto regarding the purchase of a vehicle. Gary assured me that the only damage on the vehicle was the bed. Gary also stated that there were no title discrepancies. I had a private inspection performed on the truck and found that the truck has major damage all over the vehicle. I also found out that the trucks title was being sold as not actual miles. The notarized title was emailed to me and it shows that it is marked actual miles. The title also has a signature that is scratched off on the back with no signature replacing it. The mileage box is not checked on the title. The mileage that was stated on their ad does not match the mileage on the title and the odometer does not work on the truck. I advised several individuals at the company that I wanted my $1000.00 deposit back which I made with my Visa check card. I am unable to get any customer service and the individuals I have talked to refuse to let me talk to management. This is a junk vehicle and is being sold as a clean vehicle. I have the report with photos and descriptions of the problems associated with the truck. The engine and drive train have also been replaced, which was never stated by the company. This company is falsely advertising vehicles and refusing to cooperate with its customers. I also found that the title was salvage prior to Worldwide Auto receiving the vehicle.
Sue the bastards!

This sounds like one of the crooks that works at the CHOP SHOP (WWA)! Looks like they copy and pasted one of their many bullcrap lines and placed it on a blog to counter their opposition. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU READ ONLINE, PLEASE TRUST WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TYPE. WORLDWIDE AUTO WILL LIE AND MISREPRESENT EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES AND TELL YOU WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET YOU TO PURCHASE ONE OF THEIR JUNK VEHICLES! I AM JUST TRYING TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. I AM A VERY HONEST PERSON AND IT MAKES ME SICK THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS THAT ARE STEALING MONEY FROM PEOPLE AND STAYING IN BUSINESS. 🙁
As a LAWYER I can say that YOU the seller cannot hide behind “as-is” language.
If YOU know or reasonably should know about latent DEFECTS in the product that you are selling but do not disclose it then you will have a lawsuit for FRAUD or negligent non-disclosure.
As-is may waive breach of WARRANTY claims but it does NOT waive TORT liability for FRAUD.
In addition, the sale has an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Thus YOU also breach the sale of good contract.
“BUYER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK VEHICLE”
IF the buyer ELECTS (I’m pretty sure you’re not requiring this as you say opportunity not obligation) to have to inspect the vehicle then they may waive claims regarding defects they could reasonably have discovered. But not latent defects (like from covering things up).
If the buyer does not ELECT to to inspect and relies on YOUR representations they do not waive anything.
STOP MAKING REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE CARS, AS A SELLER IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THEN
1. before a sale to determine latent defects
2. disclose to the buyer latent defects and facts that the buyer may not discover
3. If there is any doubt, disclose
4. Contract language cannot waive fraudulent acts so don’t even try…
OTHERWISE
1. state that the condition of the vehicle is unknown because it has not be inspected nor will you.
sounds like everyone here in the forum, albeit one impostor, has a lawsuit for fraud in federal court (assuming since most people here don’t live in Utah).
“OTHERWISE 1. state that the condition of the vehicle is unknown because it has not be inspected nor will you. sounds like everyone here in the forum, albeit one impostor, has a lawsuit for fraud in federal court (assuming since most people here don’t live in Utah).”
I’m not advocating misrepresenting the vehicle. I’m insisting that you not inspect vehicles. Then again, I don’t know your business model. If your inspecting cars and partially fixing them up to sell, then you should disclose everything.
Believe me, in a lawsuit I can depose everyone in the business to figure out the extent of the fraud.
