Used cars in Denver

Anybody know of any high end, used car lots in Denver? I have to go down for a few days on business and would like to check out some of the possibilities that I have researching, in person. My little corner of the world does not include many high end cars and VERY few used beauties. I would LOVE to see a wide *** (C4S) in person Thanks in Advance for any help.

well you could go over to the Ferrari dealership would that be high end enough for you? Ferrari of Denver: http://www.ferrariofdenver.com/ There is Rocky Mountain Autosport: http://www.rmautosport.com/ Then there is Rocky Mountain Eurosport: http://www.rockymountaineurosport.com/ And there are also 2 Porsche dealerships: http://prestige-imports.porschedealer.com/ and http://stevinson.porschedealer.com/ There is also a Lambo dealer but I am not sure if they have much of an inventory. I am sure there are more places but these are the ones I know about. There use to be a place call Paragon but they closed up shop from what I have heard.

yep thats about the best we have to offer

One last thing: Are any of these somewhat close to the convention ctr./16th street mall? Thanks for all the info!

We have a winner! He has both of the cars that I am looking at right now. Of course in three weeks they may be gone. Interesting inventory and just the kind of lot I was hoping to find. Thanks a lot!

nope ... RMA is down on the south side of town off of Santa Fe I think. You'll have to rent a car.

I will have to figure something out. Thanks again. At least this year the convention will be exciting

When I bought my C4 Cab a few months ago, I checked out RMA - they had some nice cars, but they were a bit to old-time-used-car-salesy for me - "gonna make me a special deal if I buy TODAY" kind of thing.. no thanks. I ended up buying from this place: http://www.thegallerydenver.com/ Mainly cause my wife wanted the "pretty blue one" - they a relatively new dealer in town, and the young guy that runs it seems pretty cool. I got a decent, if not great deal on the car, and he took care of me with a few things in follow up - over all I've been happy with the way they treated me (though I kind had to remind 'em about a couple of things). Anyway, they're worth checking out - if nothing else 'cause they have some interesting cars (I think mine was the cheapest car there, LOL), they're all under cover so you can wander around and look, and they're only a mile or so from the convention center - could probably grab a cab or hoof it if it's a nice night. - Nick P.S. If you go, tell Russ (owner) or Andres (Finance guy) "Nick & Dawn" say hello.

Thanks for the heads-up! Are they a small outfit? The inventory seems very small. One mile from the centre is great though. The weather seems to be great every year (first week in August), so a walk might be in order. And I will mention you guys, but since I am just "rubbernecking", it might not mean much.

See link from other forum regarding R M A Dealership closed and owner found dead. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=73949

Geez.. sounds like we were lucky not to have bought from them.. Answering the OP's original question (sorry, for some reason never got back to it). Yeah, the Motor Sports Gallery is a small place.. they usually have about 20 vehicles or so in their showroom at a time.. they keep all their cars in their showroom undercover, so they'd have to be.. - Nick

Yep I saw that on last night news. Way crazy. I almost bought a car from them too.

Thanks for the updates guys. I love this forum! It makes collecting info and planning so much easier.

There is also Paragon Motorsports (Motorcars?). It's a cool place. All high end cars (Lambos, Porsche, Jag, Noble, etc.). Owner is really into cars and will talk you're ear off even if he knows you're not buying anything. Art Deco kinda shop with espresso bar, big screen TV, etc. Definitely worth the trip, but you'll need a rental car. Its on Arapahoe Road a couple miles east of I-25. And no, I don't work for 'em... I just thought it was a cool shop and would be a great place to visit for anyone into exotics. I'll be going back again sometime. Hope it helps, have fun in Denver - its a great city!

Thanks for the info! So how far would this be from downtown Denver? I go there every year or two for a trade show, and the only down time to date has been hanging out in the bars on 16th street. This time I want to hit some car shops and kept thursday mostly free (MAN are the meetings packed tight on friday!). Right now I have three shops that are within 10 miles and so I would just cab it to two or three of those. However, this place sounds pretty cool.

Paragon is closed. I don't know why...we used to meet there.

Man, places are going down faster than I can get there Thanks for the tip!

It is not that hard to figure out.

Could you enlighten the uninformed? Drug related? Or just poor management?

Dang! Well, thanks for letting us know its closed. Hmmm.... nevermind my suggestion LOL!

Drugs? No, not that I am aware of. When I was trying to buy an Fcar there they just dropped the ball so many times. It was very frustrating. They started off great but never finished anything. I remember thinking to myself that these guys will never make it. Plus a good majority of the cars were from different brokers and consignment cars.

Thanks for the info! Although I do not plan on buying this year, I will probably end up going through the US for my new toy. Just trying to keep track of who keeps people happy and who doesn't.

You could also check these guys out... don�t know anything about them. I think they are over by Coors Field. http://www.weiscomotorcars.com/new_page_11.htm

Thanks for the lead. They have some cool cars. I think I will have to hit two or three lots to find the exact cars that I am tracking.

If you are looking for a Porsche in Denver, you definitely have some choices. I checked out four dealerships, and three were GREAT. 1) Weisco is pretty middle of the road. All are inside and they have a BEAUTIFUL Maserati on sale: Grey with burgandy interior. 2004 with 13,000 miles. Asking $56,900.00. REALLY nice to look at. Nothing else. 2) The Gallery in Denver. All indoor. VERY small. But what a line-up!!! Three new GT3 RS's, and one GT3. Plus a GT40 race car, a Bently, a 67 vette, and my first introduction, in the flesh, to a 2006 C4S in Lapis Blue! My wife could not take her eyes off the C4S. It was beautiful. Out of my league (price wise), but VERY pretty. Also checked out the owners' car, a Carrera GT. WOW!! Mike the salesman talked to us for forty minutes even after I said that I was not buying this year. Then the owner Ross came out and chatted for a while. I then asked Mike to call me a cab to get back to the hotel. His response: he grabbed a Cayenne and drove us back!! This is a first class outfit, and I WILL give them a shot next year. The cars, the people, and the experience was awesome! Thanks for the pointer Boulder Nick. 3) Stevinson Imports. They are a Porsche dealer and have a great selection of new and used. I also got to check out a Jag XKR (2005). As I feared it does not fit me. The new ones do, but are too expensive for me. A salesman named George was very helpful and I just about drooled on a new 997 black turbo. Very nice new and used. 4) Rocky Mountain Eurosport. I pulled into the parking lot and though "oh crap!". Turns out that the beaters are out front and the nice stuff is in a warehouse out back. Two unique BMW's, a Maserati, two Jag XKR's, a Mercedes hard top convertible, a vette, and a WHACK of Porsches. A couple of 993's and lots of 996's, including C4S's and turbos. And he wanted to sell me a turbo BAD. Once he knew I was not going to buy today, he was gone. The biggest selection of Porsches I have ever seen outside of a Porsche dealer. If I could find a good person for PPI's, I would look at his stuff. Lots of choices. And that was just four places! When I look at the selection and prices, I will definitely import my new toy. Thanks a lot RAC for the leads, and also Nick. We had a great time looking and it confirmed my once wavering choice. No BMW, Mercedes, or Jag in my future (at least not two door).

Glad you had fun... Mike must be new at the Gallery.. when I bought, it was just Ross and the financial guy, Andreas.. Ross is a great guy just to shoot the sh*t with, though, and they do go outta their way to help. - Nick

No worries glad you were able to see some cars. I too am looking at a Maserati Coupe. I like a lot things about the car but not sold on it yet. Time will tell if I get rid of the C4 and jump into the Maser.

Is it the one at Weisco? I have to admit that after my trip, i really changed my ideas about certain cars. Those Maserati cars are smaller than I thought and REALLY beautiful in person. They also have one at Rocky Mountain, but not as nice, IMO.

The coupes are on the small side and Maser replaced them with a new model which is a lot larger car. I drove one at Ferrari of Denver which was a 03 coupe, F1, black on black and a 04 spider, true manual, black and tan at a MB dealership. I liked the coupe over the spider. The F1 gear box takes a little to get use too and I hated the clutch in the spider. The travel length was just way to long for me. But the spider did have a Tubi exhaust which sounded so good! The interior is far above and beyond my C4. The Maser has a lot going for it a Ferrari source drive train which makes a great sound and good looks. But the braking, suspension needs work and there are some really bad blind spots. The car just didn�t feel as planted as my C4. I think I need a few more test drives to see if that is how it really feels to me. It will be hard to give up my C4. The problem with Porsche is their cars do so many things so well that after awhile the car is a bit of a bore but also hard to give up. Time will tell what I end up with.

The Gallery in Denver has a 997 C4S cab in Lapis Blue! Beautiful but expensive. Not real keen on the Coco interior though. Love to hear the comparision between the Maserati and the Porsche.
