Drove to the Seattle "dealership" — nothing there, and the name is stolen

RPT-CNSQMJ

I live in Seattle, 15 minutes from their "dealership." Sent money for a Silverado, then decided to just drive over and pick it up myself. There's nothing there. No cars, no office, no sign. Phone dead. When you Google them you find a DIFFERENT Emerald City Auto that's been in Seattle for 38 years — these guys just stole the name. Disgusting.
