About Us
We ARE car people through and through; we LOVE what we do here!
Your Trusted Marque Expert
Sadly, many in our line of work are just here for the paycheck. We are HERE because we truly LOVE helping our customers have an amazing experience with their cars. This isn’t always easy, but we pride ourselves in educating our clients on the various models, known issues, and how a given vehicle may or may not be the best fit. Simply selling a car is not what we are after; we are after selling you the RIGHT car! This starts with our discriminating selection of what even meets our "CVLC Standard", then moves to our in-depth reconditioning process, and ends when the car finds a home with the right owner.

Lots of my clients tell me they want a "driver quality" air-cooled 911, well here you go! It's got 240k miles and all the commiserate wear/tear/mechanical needs. I am going to undersell this car and call it an old beater 🤣... The good news is its turnkey, likely better than a lot of the "junk" for sale other place and its Paint to Sample! Running it No Reserve, so here is your chance!
