Grand Prix Motors Inc — Local services in Portland

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 couldn't find anywhere in the country. How could this be? There must be some kind of catch. There wasn't, it was December 24th and I called and got Val. Everything sounded good so I Uber'ed 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 won't 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 didn't 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...

I went to Grand Prix Motors a few years ago, just window shopping, I let them know that I’m not interested in buying a car at the moment and just wanted to take a look at a Porsche. Dan was super helpfu, took his time and answered any questions I had. Fast forward to just a few days ago, I was looking to purchase a Porsche 911 and found one that I really liked which GPM had in stock (online). Dan got me approved for a loan with a local credit union within 24 hours of expressing interest in the car and before even making my way to their dealership. I arrived 30minutes prior to them closing and was really hoping to have enough time for a test drive. Not only was I able to get a test drive but Dan stayed after hours to help me close the deal and even got me a larger loan than I was hoping for so I was able to get a newer Porsche 911. Not only did i get a great deal on a preowned 911 but also got a 100k mile warranty which covers anything from engine to window switches. Dan even let me take the car home that same evening that I came in. When he noticed that I didn’t have floor mats, he threw in a free set. Not only that, but after noticing that the tires were a bit worn out, they ordered and installed brand new Bridgestone tires (free of charge). I’ve never had an experience like this at a dealership in my life. The other lots that I went to in Portland either had sales people flocking me with no room to breathe or if I was dressed in sweats, completely ignored. Like when I went to Jordan Motorz (which I heard changed their name recently) a few years ago on the same day I looked at cars at Grand Prix, not just being ignored but when I turned keys to the on position in 3 of their high end vehicles (bmw m5, Range Rover Sport and full size Range Rover) all 3 of the cars were missing the check engine light bulbs and both range rovers were also missing traction control light bulbs and abs light bulbs. Anyways, I’m not going to state the new name of the place I had the bad experience at but I did want to say something about it, just so anyone who sees this, does some research about a dealership before making such an important purchase, the last thing anyone wants after spending tens of thousands of dollars on a high end vehicle is to find out that you will be spending thousands more on repairs immediately after purchase. It doesn’t seem like GPM is just trying to make a quick buck like most used car lots that are out there. I think they’re here for the long run and their business model clearly shows that customer satisfaction is more important to them than cutting corners to save some money. As a side note, they seem to have a lot more Porsche’s now than they did a couple years ago so I think they specialize in this brand specifically, def a good place to go if you’re in the market for a Porsche, esp if it’s a 911 as they’re already a difficult supercar to find for sale, yet they seem to have around 50 of them to choose from. I’ll be buying my next 911 from here as well. Maybe even a turbo or GT3 model, but as for now the 911 Carerra has more than enough...

Bought a Turbo S 997.2 from grand prix in mid April. Car is spectacular and has the spec I want. Price was reasonable considering the market. That's the good. Here is has been my experience to date. Car was delayed several times and was over 1 week later than quoted. Not a huge deal but I run a business and had to adjust schedules several times. Car arrived and was as advertised other than one if the worst PPF jobs I have ever seen. Not sure if they did that or not. Since they advertised as a concierge service and handle all documents I was awaiting next steps for registration etc. I received a email I had to get emmisions done and a VIN inspection. Ok not a huge deal. Fails emmisions due to a tune on the car. I would think a inspection would include a pcm check as the car had some other mild mods. Have to take to a dealer to reset the pcm to factory which was another major problem due to the dealer making some pretty serious mistakes. Finally get emmisions done and vin inspection send documents to them. Once again concierge level service is still happening lol. The level of communication has been dismal. They are having a issue with the DMV in colorado. Not my problem. I would expect a dealer who ships cars all over the country would have the knowledge of what is happening in other states. It has been 4 months since I purchased the car. 2 temp tags and have a car I can't drive because the 2nd temp tag expired again several weeks ago. I get a random email every once in awhile with a screen shot from the colorado DMV Im assuming showing they are working on something? What it comes down too is I would beware as a out of state buyer or fly in and drive out. I have purchased several cars out of state from dealers, Private parties, and concierge companies. Never had a issue like this. Communication is terrible and the only reason any happens is if I email or call a manager.

8-18-22 I wanted to update a few things. I finally received documents to register the car. State of Colorado requires Docs to be sent within 30 days of sale . Docs were sent in July multiple months past when they were required. Several items were incorrect on multiple Documents so it was rejected. New Docs were received on 8-8-22. Still had items requiring attention but clerk corrected. Moral is don't lie and say the DMV in my state( which is normally terrible )and say legislation changed when it was on your end, you never sent the docs in a timely manner to begin with. Just tell me we messed up we are correcting it etc. I would have never written this review if you would have been honest.
