Select Motors

Buy here. Know what you want, and do your research, the cars are priced to sell. Great buying experience. Bought a c63 last Saturday and I love it. I will come back soon.

I was interested in a vehicle listed by Select Motors, but it was listed ABOVE the KBB guideline. I emailed them to ask IF the price was flexible to bring it to parity with the KBB guidelines. No negotiations — just an inquiry. His response was a firm no.
My reply was that I was very disappointed, and that I would be looking at other vehicles, but that if he reconsidered, to please feel free to contact me. I was looking for an adjustment within 10−12%. I completely respected his reply, and maintained a polite communication throughout.
His response? «Very disappointed? Too bad».
Who responds like that? Where is the professionalism? I’m sorry, but if you can’t treat potential customers with basic manners, you don’t deserve the business.

My husband and I bought a 2012 BMW X5 last month with Horatio and we have been very happy with everything about it. We did our homework beforehand and therefore appreciated the way Select Motors works. As noted by others there was no haggling on price. The price was good to begin with and what you get in return is no BS sales job like a typical dealership. Horatio answered all our questions, got us a better rate on financing, saved us a tiresome trip to the local bank branch since we came from out of town, and even recommended a good local place to eat lunch at the end. We’ll look at Select Motors first for our next vehicle.

We recently bought a 2012 Mini Cooper for our daughter here and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. My husband had been researching for month. We wanted a 2012 with low mileage at a good price. We were able to find both here. Don’t expect to negotiate, the price is firm. If you want no fuss in buying a car this is the place.

Good price on the car no problems. no nonsense easy to deal with. Car was not advertised with warranty. I was surprised when I went to the Audi dealership… they advised I had Audi care and explained I wouldn’t pay for a single thing until the car reaches 80,000 miles. Thank you. Great experience. Can you find me a new boat? :).

This is a no bullshit dealership. Don’t come here expecting to test drive the BMW and the mini, oh and the Porsche. Any reasonable potential car buyer who has done basic research will get along long well here. If you haven’t done your research and your just looking to joyride don’t expect any warm welcomes.
I had a good experience here though and so far happy with my new car.

I recently purchased 2012 BMW X5 a couple weeks back from Select Motors and couldn’t be happier!
I did my research before deciding to go to Select Motors. In reading the reviews what I got from it was: make an appointment, have a good idea of what you are looking for, and of course be nice. That is not a crazy ask in my opinion.
His shop is not huge and the cars have to be pulled out for test drives unlike regular dealerships where they have an abundance of space. I agree that it is spotless and he definitely cares about the cars he sells.
If you do your homework beforehand, you will know Horatio’s prices are competitive, at least that was the case for me. He is not the only dealer out there who doesn’t prefer to negotiate on price, not everyone likes to haggle (…why places like carmax are so successful). I am in sales and I appreciated the competitive price so I did not have to deal with the game for my car purchase.
Throughout the entire process Horatio and his team have been nothing but wonderful. He made sure the car was inspected, cleaned, and to his caliber before he would even let me test drive it and I appreciated that. He did not mind our numerous questions about the car and fixed the little things that go a long way like the dings from being a pre-​owned car or one of the keys not working right.
After the car was purchased there were a couple things that came up and all I had to do was call to come in and have it checked out. They have helped me fix any issues that have come up with no hassle.
Overall, I am not a fan of buying cars, I dread it actually, but Horatio and his team made it a pleasantly surprised experience.
I would definitely recommend going to Select Motors for your next luxury car.

I recently purchased a 2014 750li from Select Motors. At first, it seemed like it was difficult to talk to the owner, Horatio. This is because he does not negotiate on price. So if you are one who wants to offer $$ less than his price, you are at the wrong place. But once you do your homework, you will realize he has the vehicles priced to go. Then, when you agree to buy the vehicle, Horatio goes out of his way to make it a smooth transaction. I am in Georgia and i bought the vehicle without seeing it. The vehicle was arranged to be picked up by my shipper. Then when i received it, I told him the cd player was not working. He told me not to worry and asked me to call the dealer. I took it to the dealer, and guess what, they BMW are replacing the cd player at no cost.
With the above, I will use him again. Mostly because his prices are firm, but reasonable.

Unbelievable experience. These guys will kick you out of their shop if you try to negotiate. They will not give you a min of their time, unless you explicitly confirm that no matter what, you are willing to buy the desired car at the listed price. «Hello, may I test drive the car first before confirming that I want to purchase it?» Rude man with a little accent: «No, you may not. You can only drive it if you’re ready to buy it at the asking price otherwise don’t waste my time». They’ll practically kick you out if you’re not there with cash in hand. If you want to be intimated by bunch of rough and slimy used car salesmen, please walk into their shop. What an experience. Wow!

I recently purchased a 2011 M3 with the Competition Package from Select Motors.
Horatio might be a little gruff and off-​putting at first, but once he realizes you are serious, he warms right up. The first thing you notice is how spotlessly clean and meticulously kept his indoor showroom is kept. This is a man who loves cars and knows how to take care of them — his vehicles are well detailed and immaculate.
He answered all my questions, showed me all of the history including the maintenance related to the car. He was very up front regarding the car; this particular car had been in a minor accident, and the CarFax report (which was provided for free in the ad) showed this accordingly. He had the car thoroughly inspected by BMW, and it passed these checks with flying colors.
5000 miles of driving later, I couldn’t be more pleased. The car has held up without issue or complaint, and the factory warranty still applies for another 4000 miles or, until the end of December.
I didn’t find his place «sketchy» at all as another reviewer commented; it was exactly the opposite for me. I will definitely consider buying another fine vehicle from this place when the time comes.

The place was barely ok BUT the guy sitting in the Office by the name of Horatio was rude, unfriendly and downright obnoxious. The fact that it was practically located on the train tracks should have been my first tip off to get the hell back in my car and get out of there. He Would not get up from his place to show me the car I had gone to see. I was actually ready to write him a check but his demeanor was so sketchy that I thought the better of it and got out of there double quick. Just imagine if I had actually purchased a car here and then the car developed a problem — it would not be easy dealing with this place or guy.
The other reviews with 5 stars is what I based my visit to this sketchy place AND I regret it. Never again will I try and save a few bucks by compromising on the quality of the organization and their reputations.

Why is it always seem to be the case when a car dealership reflects glowingly on how awesome they are on their website and that they can be trusted… it turns out to be total fantasy?

We recently purchased a car for my wife. owner was very friendly and help us a lot to get the car. Place look great with all nice and luxury cars, love it, did not even want to leave the place.
I definetly recommend everyone this place before purchased anywhere else nice inventory and friendly owner.
Thank you all the help we will be back for our future cars.

Lucky to find Select Motor,
I looked at lots of corvettes and when I saw what Select had I was in love. With the help of Horatio, I got a great deal on the Z06 I wanted. I found him to be a down to earth guy that wanted to help. I feel he told me every thing he could about the car he had for sale. When it comes to used car thats more than most sells man would do.
thank you Horatio

I bought a 2011 997 porsche here about three weeks ago. From beginning to end I had a great experience. I went to see the car and Horatio was completely friendly and professional. He has a lot of knowledge about cars, and it shows. He was not pushy at all and seemed to only want a deal if the customer (me) was happy about it. He buys his cars at auction, and has them thoroughly checked out. He was more than happy to give me the full auction report as well as the mechanic report and the carfax report. I asked to bring it to another mechanic for further inspection and he had no problem with that. In fact, since I live more than an hour away, he offered to bring it in for me, which he did. The selling price was pretty fair and we negotiated a final sale price which I feel was very fair. I ended up financing the car through his channels because he beat the rate I was quoted from the sources I tried.
All in all I couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying a car.

Nice People unfortunately the M6 I purchased broke down 2 weeks after purchase & Horatio tried to say it was my fault eventhough BMW said the vehicle had long term damage… you live & you learn I guess smh :-(

I purchased a m6 here and just like the other reviews Horatio is no nonsense.
If you do your searches around the Internet, you would know his prices are reasonable given supply and demand. His cars are all pristine and cherry!
He’s a little slow to warm up, but once you show you are a serious buyer then it’s business as usual.
Look, if you buy a vehicle here, you know you are getting a sweet deal on a 100K+, fully loaded, mint, ride for a fraction of the cost.

I had visited a few well known dealers in the Bay area looking for my second Porsche and was disappointed with the vehicles I was encountering that were so poorly maintained including test drives where the check engine light was on. As I approached Select Motors, I told my wife, «I can imagine what this place is going to be like.» The building has no cars in front and I almost left but instead waited for the owner who arrived driving a very nicer BMW and lifted up the doors to the cavernous showroom. Wow! Shimmering glistening vehicles and a guy who was the opposite of pushy salesman. He is no nonsense type of guy who obviously loves fine automobiles and expects you to know what you are doing. My favorite lines included him reminding me more than once, «No warranty… did I tell you NO warranty! Remember NO Warranty!» or Don’t call me because there isn’t a front plate and you get a ticket. Buy a plate holder and put your plates on properly!” I can tell that smoozing the customer isn’t his forte but I am too busy making mental love to the amazing Turbo S that I am about to buy for a great price. I waited 3 months to write the review so there were no registration surprises. Everything is done and people keep walking up to me and saying, «Wow that a new one isnt it?» And I just smile because for all intents and purposes I am driving a $ 140k car that I paid about 40k for. It looks that good. He is a great procurer of great cars. Check him out.
