Q: Do you offer financing on your vehicles?

A: We do not offer financing on most of the vehicles we sell, due to the nature of the cars, as most institutions do no offer financing for older vehicles. You can however, in most cases, get financing from credit unions, if you are a member of one. There are also lending institutions that specialize in older unique vehicles - some of the ones we have worked with in the past are: www.lightstream.com, www.jjbest.com

Q: I looked up the KBB private/dealer value for your 1992 Jaguar XJS with 29k miles on it and it only comes out at $4,500, how come your asking price is so much higher?

A: KBB, Edmunds and similar resources provide calculated market value information that is based on data supplied to them from state resources, such as the DMV and Tax Office. They then have formulas to account for possible options on vehicles (which is why sometimes an option of premium sound system can increase their calculation by $300 on a vehicle that is only worth $3400). In general most older vehicles that are sold on the market are sold with high miles, in less than ideal condition. Many of these are sold privately with a declared value less than actual sale price. So while KBB and other resources work pretty well on vehicles 10 year old and newer with average miles, they would not work for the example above and in similar situations, even for newer vehicles. a 1992 Jaguar XJS in average condition with 240,000 miles (the average mileage of a vehicle that old) might be worth 3,200 KBB has no DATA know the value of same vehicle in pristine condition with very low mileage on it - the actual market value of this vehicle is around $14,000 give or take depending on condition, color combination, etc. And of course similar car with even less miles on it - lets say just 15,000 miles is probably worth $20,000 or more

Q: I am interested in the 2001 BMW 740, have you personally driven it? Have you had it checked?

A: Unlike most dealers, we don't just flip cars for high turn over. We invest time and money into every vehicle we sell, starting with getting good solid cars to begin with! Every vehicle we get, goes through an inspection process in our service facility. We will check the vehicle over and address the problems on the car. Some of the things we check are - brakes, suspension, road noise and vibration, engine operation, transmission operation, cooling and lubrication system, steering and alignment, presence of significant leaks(not moist oil spots that accumulated over the past 5 years) soft top operation and more. This DOES NOT however means we will fix every wear and tear item on the car - for example, if the vehicles brakes are at 45% and preform fine, we would not touch them, if they are at 35% but exhibit noise or shudder, we would address the issue, if they are at 15% we would replace them because they are low enough to warranty the replacement (to put that in context, brake pads fail PA safety inspection at 2/32” or 1.5mm, typical new pad thickness is 12mm or around 16/32). We also extensively test drive our vehicles. However, it is impossible for our salespeople to personally test drive ever vehicle - that's why we employ qualified mechanics that do. Further, the fact that we test and repair problems on the vehicles we sell should not be misconstrued as a warranty of any kind - we do our best to repair any problems the vehicle might have, however these are used vehicles, and it is up to you, the buyer, to satisfy yourself as to the actual condition of the vehicle. The final burden of buyer diligence is on you, and we will do our best to assist you in any way we can.

Q: I just love the classic 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that you have to sale, can you tell me its previous history and where did you get this car?

A: While our sales people/staff will love to tell you everything they know about a particular car, they often simply might not have the answers you are looking for. Most often, our vehicles are sourced from new-car dealers trade ins. We work with dealers all over the US and have a first hand pick at some of the vehicles that interest us. This often comes at a premium, but we cannot afford to pass on the clean cars our customers expect us to deliver. We also source our vehicles from other wholesale sources and some of them get traded in to us for a vehicle we sold. Our sales people are not related to the vehicle acquirement process so sometimes they might not have an answer - that doesn't mean you can't ask - they will let you know everything they know about the vehicle!

Q: I want to stop by and check out that green 2006 Range Rover that you got, sometime this week.

A: We welcome inspections of any kind, however, please keep the following in mind - we have 2 facilities in different locations. Vehicles get moved into and out of storage. You will need to set up an exact time and date to view a vehicle - the vehicle would need to be pulled out and your test drive coordinated with a sales person. If you are planing on looking at a vehicle several days or more out, we strongly recommend you leave a deposit for us to hold the car - that way you wont be making plans that you would need to cancel in case the vehicle is sold. We DO NOT hold vehicles without a deposit.

Q: I want to secure a vehicle, and put down a deposit on it - is my deposit refundable?

A: Discussing the terms of your deposit to secure the car is up to you and the sales-person. As a general rule, deposits for cars in the automotive business are NON-REFUNDABLE, since vehicles are not easily stock-able - this specifically applies to used cars. This does not mean however that we would not refund your deposit within good reason. We do not refund deposits where the customer does not show good will to follow up on the purchase - in other words, if you put down a deposit on a vehicle, wait a week, and change your mind because your wife does not like the color of the vehicle, or if you found a vehicle that you like more - don't expect a refund. We think it's fair, because we would never sell a vehicle that we have a deposit for to someone else, and if we are holding a car for you, we are losing customers that would potentially pay more than you did.
