Like others, I have found Grand Prix Motors to have the cleanest cars, best prices and most pleasant purchase process and support you have ever seen. I have my dream car, a Porsche 911, for almost four months now from Val at Grand Prix. It began with over six months of searching locally and online that resulted in disappointment; the best options always appeared to be in State far away, or they sold before I made up my mind, or I was nervous because they had no factory warranty or there was no Carfax (or I has to pay for it), and how do I get the car transported here anyway sight unseen? Then I found Grand Prix Motors right in my own back yard. There on the website was an anthracite grey manual transmission Carrera in perfect condition, with 2 years of factory warranty, free Carfax, PTM, PASM, Sports Chrono package, key-less entry and low miles at a price I couldnt find anywhere in the country. How could this be? There must be some kind of catch. There wasnt, it was December 24th and I called and got Val. Everything sounded good so I Ubered over, on Christmas eve. and I drove away in the car of my dreams 45 minutes later. Now that is the way to celebrate Christmas. To say my wife was surprised is a bit of an understatement but she loves the car too and we go for drives all the time. A few things; you wont get a better, or faster loan than with Val (quick story; I had tried to get a loan at Wells Fargo for a Ducati six months earlier and still didnt have it a week later, it was at 8% and I never did get the loan as they messed up the paperwork so it took too long, I did get the Ducati though - a 1098s. I got a car loan with Val in 10 minutes for 3% and when I went to sign it I saw it was from... Wells Fargo!), the Grand Prix car floor is spotless and there are a lot of really nice cars. There is no up-sell, no haggling, no time wasting. you just get the car you want at a great price and you drive home. So I did and I could not be happier. I brought the car to Sunset Porsche for a checkup and they said it was in perfect condition (I had scheduled and expected to pay $850 for a service but it turned out that Grand Prix had already done that). I have to say Sunset did good too and they really liked the car and that it was a manual and they even drove me to and from work while they looked at it. The service cost me $72 because they replaced a rubber seal in the engine compartment. UPDATE: two months after I got my car Val called to say "You know, I was always planning on putting brakes on that car and I got them in, would you like to schedule a time to get that done?" "Um, yes!". So over I go and Val has a nice Mercedes loaner for me, I pick up my car the next day - no charge! Everything is perfect and now I have new brakes. I also got a ClearBra on the it because of all the chippings on the roads around Portland, and I changed to two front side indicators from orange color to clear (the bulbs are orange so it works but looks much better). In summary all I can say is that if you have always dreamed of owning a European sports car then you own it to yourself to at least go look at Grand Prix Motors, they have a huge selection, the best deals you can find, and the best service you are ever going to find anywhere. As reference I have owned two Porches in the past from other dealers Good luck

My experience with Grand Prix Motors was very good for the most part. Vlad, my Sales Consultant was very friendly and easy going. I never felt pressured like you do at so many used car dealers. And speaking of cars - they have some amazing cars, all in very nice condition. I wasnt sure what I was looking for when I first visited Grand Prix. I was looking at Mercedes and BMW SUVs, but I was also considering a Porsche 911. At the time, they didnt have any 911s old enough to be in my price range, but Vlad showed me a very nice BMW X5. He let me and my wife take it out for a spin on our own, which I really liked. I wasnt completely sold on the X5, so I kept looking. But eventually I decided I really did want a 996 Porsche 911. I looked at several around town, and paid for two pre-purchase inspections on cars from other dealers. Both cars turned out to have LOTS of issues. I was considering an out-of-state purchase when I finally ran across a brand-new listing for a 2002 Porsche 911 at Grand Prix Motors. I called and spoke to Vlad, and he let me come down and take a look, even though they were still cleaning it up in the garage. I could tell right away that this car was way better than anything else I had looked at. I asked to have a pre-purchase inspection done at the shop of my choice, which Vlad agreed to right away. They took the car in for me, and the shop found pretty much nothing wrong with the car, except an older battery that was losing charge. I was negotiating via text with Vlad, trying to get consideration for a new battery. They didnt want to drop the price, but agreed to put a new battery in. When I went down to make a deposit, Vlad said the manager had changed his mind about the battery. I was not happy and left with my money. But later Vlad texted again and said that they would in fact honor the deal that had been offered. So I arranged for my deposit and made the deal. I couldnt be happier with the car, and the atmosphere and service at Grand Prix was all very professional. Except for that one hiccup (which keeps me from giving 5 stars), the process couldnt have been any smoother. I will definitely shop Grand Prix the next time Im in the market for something in their product lines.

I was looking for my dream car and I found it in Grad Prix Motors. I was doing the car search in all the major car finder sites and apps and landed my eye on this beautiful BMW X5 50i with all the features I could wish for (i.e. M set-up, NAV, PAN/MOON ROOF etc.). When it was time I called them and talked Dan Babiy and inquired about the availability of the car. At first someone had interest in the same car but I was fortunate enough to have pre-qualified for it. Dan set-up the appointment weekend of Memorial Day for us to meet to look at the car and helped me through the buying process. Their garage of European luxury cars is a site to behold. When I looked at the car, I thought it was brand new. Later on he explained that the owner actually search and buy for these type of cars and he only buys really good ones and I totally agree with him and has very good taste of what cars to sell. In my years of buying cars, I must say the sales experience with Dan Babiy was by far the most pleasant one of all. They had a fair estimate of the trade in value for my 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. As what they said in their website, they accept any trade in from a KIA to a Ferrari :-). Within two hours going through the numbers and paper works and having test driven the vehicle in Portland for about half an hour, I was finally driving my dream car. They helped shipped new floor mats and also processed the license and registration promptly which arrived in 10 business days as they said. When my co-workers saw the car, they thought it was brand new but I told them it was a 2012 model but with excellent CARFAX, mileage and condition. Ive been driving my new baby/vehicle for a month now here in Seattle and Im very satisfied with the vehicle. Ive recommended Grand Prix Motors to my peers and Im writing this post to also recommend to everyone out there whos interested in value for money European cars. Thanks to Dan Babiy and Kristin Storozhuk for their excellent pre-sale and post-sale service which is I think is very important in the overall car buying process.
