By far my best car-buying experience in 40 years. Fair, transparent price. No awkward back&forth with the "secret boss". People here really care about building a long-term relationship with their customers since they cater to a special crowd. Yanni was my sale's guy, nice, friendly, and honest, didn't try to sell me stuff that I don't need. I will be taking my cars here for service in the future.

I recently bought a 2007 GT3, the car is phenominal, but shortly after it arrived and having drove less millage then i would have liked I ran into some unexpected issues. Unsure of what to expect, Graham and his team went above and beyond what my expectations were. Super Profesional and all around calm and polite even when i got upset. I highly recomend this business, as they actually care about their customers!

Purchased a Porsche 911 4S from Response Motors sight unseen without any concerns about the condition or quality of the vehicle I was purchasing. Communication was timely and the only delay was the availability of an enclosed carrier to transport my vehicle home. If you're shipping within the state of CA, give Advanced Towing a call. Also, if you want to save time while waiting on your newly purchased vehicle, ask about their car care services (ceramic coating, headlight restoration, paint protection film etc.).

Don't know if they are any good at car sales, but low integrity when it comes to buying cars. Supposedly had a deal and everytime they reached out they lowered offer price. Foolishly, I waited on them and lost a buyer who ended up buying something else... rather lose money than sell to them my 911, now.

Surprising inventory at an easily missed location in Mountain View. Mostly Porsches but some very unique collector cars. I’ve had my ///M serviced and detailed here based on recommendations from a car collector friend and the team has provided excellent work and fair pricing. Will be using them more in the future.

Can't say enough good things about Resmo and Graham. Buying pre-owned can be sketchy sometimes, but their inventory is carefully selected and the buying process is easy. They went above and beyond to hold my dream car for me while I finished the refi on my house. I can't think of many, or any dealer other than Response that would do that. No matter where you live, rest assured you are getting a proper car if they took it in.

I recently purchased a 996 C4S from Response Motors. Initially, I sent an email requesting more information about the car and I promptly received a huge jacket of information along with a slew of highly detailed photographs. After reviewing the documentation and telephoning Graham, we were able to work a sight unseen deal. Every piece of information the Graham provided was accurate and I ended up with the nicest 996 I've ever seen. I would have zero reservations buying from Response Motors again! Great product and customer support.

I live in DALLAS and had been looking for a RS60 for a while now. Given they're a limited edition Boxter, it's hard to find the right car locally, so when I came across this beauty online at Response Motors I decided to look into it. Graham responded to my inquiry quickly and thoroughly. Still, I didn't think I'd make a purchase like this sight unseen, but I did and very happy I did so!
I just can't say enough good things about thus company and Graham in particular! He's honest and very fair to deal with. He not only sold the car at a fair price, but arranged for

Purchased a 2005 997.1 S from Graham back in August. Best decision I made in 2019. The car only had ~60k on the clock and was immaculate inside and out. Graham took the time really check over the car and his engineering expertise allows you to really purchase with confidence that the cars he sells don't have frame damage or other sub-system component damage and are ready to go. He won't sell you something he wouldn't drive himself and the quality of the vehicles he offers shows that.
He assisted with a few maintenance items as well on the 911 about 6 months post-purchase and I

Phenomenal experience buying my Alfa Romeo QV from Graham. He went above and beyond ensuring I am truly satisfied with my purchase. Like others have said multiple times, he is a car enthusiast and knows his stuff. Not a salesman trying to push a sale.
Extremely honest in stating known issues with the car. Even helped dealing with the dealership on a warrantee claim after purchasing. Extremely satisfied.
Will definitely return if I were to purchase something else in the future.

I recently purchased a 2009 Porsche 911 S from Graham. The experience was excellent and I was extremely happy with the results.
As others have noted, when you are dealing with Graham, you're not dealing with a car salesman - you're dealing with a car aficionado. I had been looking at cars that Response Motors had for a bit. Graham understood what I was looking for and when he acquired a matching car he contacted me. The car itself was perfectly prepped. Graham was very flexible with showing me the car and with getting it in for a PPI. When I decided to buy, I was in and out within

I recently purchased a 2013 Porsche 911 from Graham at Response. This was one of the best car buying experiences I've had. They are open during the evenings which works with my schedule. Graham has a lot of passion for all the vehicles that come through his doors, explaining their history and unique details.
After the purchase, we needed to repair some screw holes in the bumper caused by the front license plate. Response removed the bumper and coordinated this work with a nearby bodyshop at no charge. Top notch service!
Highly recommend for buying/selling beautiful vehicles.

At Response Motors, you get more than your dream car at the most reasonable price point possible. You also get an incredible customer service experience that you remember every time you put your keys in the ignition.
Graham sold my parents a beautiful black Lexus that looks and drives like new. He even made sure that it got a brand new battery and was polished and immaculate right before they picked up the car. It was amazing to see how happy they were, not just with the car but with the time and attention they received.
Unlike other used car dealers, Graham is a successful mechanical engineer
