CPA Motors is located in Northridge Ca, which is in Southern Calif, in
the San Fernando Valley.

I live within 10 miles of their location and contacted them when my
girlfriend was looking for a 91 Coupe.  At that time he had three of
them.   She ultimately bought it from somewhere else, but that is not any
sort of reflection on his operation.  

His shop  is in a row of auto garages and I don't think he has a showroom
(as of mid-November)   I asked around about the place and heard he buys
his cars at auctions out of state and ships the cars back to Calif.  When
I drove by in mid-Nov (on a Sunday, store was closed), he had parked
outside 2 100Q Wagons, 2 V8s, 1 91 200Q and some 5000Qs, so it seems that
he has a pretty large inventory.  When I talked to him before, he told me
that he was the largest used Audi dealer in the US (although I'm not sure
how impressive that is).  I had mixed feelings about the place, but when
I'm in the market for a used Audi, I probably would check them out.
