Made the drive to Gulf Shores Motor Mart in Gulf Shores — posting notes since this board runs on receipts. They keep around 55 vehicles, mostly sports cars and coupes. They were totally fine with my mechanic doing a once-over, which honestly settles half the trust question.
Lot address: 1545 Gulf Shores Pkwy, Gulf Shores, AL 36542. Visitor parking: Customer lot on Gulf Shores Pkwy.
Paper side: licensed with the state (looked it up), about 74% of stock has title in hand per the office, and they offer a 6-month powertrain warranty on newer units.
Overall: decent cars, pushy back office. The $249 doc fee is fine but watch the add-on sheet — say no twice and the price comes back to earth.
