With our help, you can confidently own the VW, Audi and Porsche you REALY want.
The market for used cars is ripe. Since the onset of the recession we have seen used car prices tumble, stumble, and fall. Three years ago Kelly Blue Book (KBB) numbers were the gold standard in used car values. Today however, the KBB numbers exist more as an optimistic reference.
Got $25,000 to spend ? You name it;
all can be yours with anEXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY in hand for less than $25k.
This may be bad news for car dealers, but represents a great value and opportunity for the savvy consumer. This market opportunity has long been a niche that 3ZERO3 customers have benefitted from.
The benefits of buying a used vehicle are immediately obvious:
Tthe staff at 3ZERO3 Motorsports can help you asses the state of your prospective purchase, understand the nature and value of any repairs required, and help you build that value with the seller.
Spend a few minutes with us, as we take you thru a successful used car delivery, inspection, emission test, and service with valued customer, 3ZERO3 Motorsports enthusiast, and Denver’s own Trade Show Emporium owner Willis Wood and his newly used Audi A4 Avant.
Willis Wood owner of Trade Show Emporium, showing restrained exuberance as he meets his new vehicle in person for the first time.
To say that Willis is savvy consumer, as well as an dedicated enthusiast is an understatement. Willis is the proud owner of an Audi 200 Turbo Quattro, a BMW M Coupe, and now an Audi A4 1.8T Avant. Willis wanted an A4 Avant that he could take 4 people + 4 snowboards to Summit county in speed and style.
Needless to say Willis has an impressive lineup in his garage. Willis attributes this mainly to the value in buying quality used vehicles.
“I honestly don’t think I will ever buy a new car again. The value just isn’t there. I have been buying used cars for the last 7 years confidently, with the help of 3ZERO3 Motorsports. Thankfully, their technicians have talked me out of bad cars, and into good ones. I am not scared of high mileage cars, these are well built European sports cars we’re talking about, if you take care of them, they will last forever. I track my coupe that has over 100,000 miles on it every summer. I am however scared of bad cars, and I will never buy a car without a used car inspection,”.
Getting the A4 inspected for the very first time.
The Audi B6 A4 1.8T (seen here) was located online from a seller in Arizona. The seller had performed a healthy amount of performance modifications, but in recent history had neglected to maintain and repair the car properly. This is fairly typical of the used car market. At some point vehicle owners tend to understand that they will be selling their cars in the near future. As soon as that happens, they lose almost all financial incentive to continue proper vehicle maintenance and repair.
BUT WAIT ! As long as the vehicle does not fall into a terminal state of disrepair, their negligence is your gain !
Upon receiving Willis’ A4, we put the vehicle thru our rigorous ‘Marshall-Law’ vehicle inspection. An inspection so stringent that no fluid leak, loose suspension, or fault code will escape undocumented.
As Technician Marshall inspected the vehicle he found a whole host of concerns not previously disclosed by the previous owner. While Willis purchased the used Audi at an extremely competitive price, these detailed notes on the required repairs gave Willis the tools to go back to the seller, and negotiate an additional settlement.
” I knew the A4 was going to need some work, I really didn’t know quite how much. 3ZERO3 made buying the car easy. I had the car shipped directly from AZ to their shop. They coordinated the shipping of the vehicle, took delivery, and even gave me the (contractual ) option to refuse delivery and get a full refund if I was unhappy with the vehicle. He ( Technician Marshall ) found that the car needed more work than what had been disclosed to me, but they gave me the tools and guidance to work that out with the seller. They performed the work in a week, and now I have an amazing machine,”.-W.Wood
Another benefit to buying a used vehicle, is picking up someone else’s performance project on the cheap. Willis got a great deal on this vehicle considering it came equipped with :
And 2 Sets of wheels, including these BBS LM’s !
The A4 needed over 20 hours of work to get it road ready, including cooling system repairs, timing belt replacement, and a host of maintenance. While the sheer amount of work we performed would frighten some, remember this is where the value comes from.
How much would you pay for a vehicle that that as asking price of $15,000 but needs $4,000 worth of work ? Exactly.
When you think about your next vehicle purchase, think about how far that money can be stretched in the used car market.
