ABOUT ME
I have been in the automobile business in the Greater New England area since 1973.
Although I haven’t counted every last one, over 15,000 automobiles have made their way through my life. I’ve purchased, owned, or sold marques such as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar, and Ferrari, with just enough antiques, muscle cars and exotics in the mix to keep things interesting.
My life has revolved around automobiles — from my childhood job at a country used car lot, to serving as General Manager of Sales at a mammoth Roger Penske luxury auto mall, and finally, to becoming the proprietor of my own operation.
I’ve learned a few things along the way — most notably, how to make the car buying experience as efficient and enjoyable as it can be. I am proud to bring my wealth of knowledge to my customers today, offering superior vehicles selected with the eye of a well-seasoned fine automobile dealer.
MY PROCESS
My way of doing business isn't the traditional car-buying experience we’ve all grown used to.
Many of my clients come to me not for a car in my inventory, but for my service as a consultant in the search for a particular vehicle. Be it a rare collectible or a very specific everyday car, these are the transactions where my expertise can really come out to play. I’ve formed lifelong friendships with customers I had the pleasure of first meeting in their hunt for a unique automobile.
Additionally, I maintain an inventory of quality cars at reasonable prices. Every car I represent has been hand-picked and personally inspected. It has passed my rigorous standards of what that particular vehicle should be. Prior to delivery, each of my cars is thoroughly serviced and state safety inspected, cleaned and detailed, and ready to drive.
There is never any pressure to buy — I’m happy to answer questions and see customers explore their options, seek out a second opinion, or do whatever else they need in order to be comfortable with their decision.
I enjoy what I do, and I love sharing my knowledge in a way that helps people into the driver’s seat of exactly the right vehicle for their journey.

Here is an unbelievable example of the 25th anniversary special edition 911 Carrera Coupe made the final year of the G body 911. This Porsche has had the same owner adult owner for over 20 years and is just now coming back on the market. Over the last two years there has had extensive work performed to this car at no expense spared. This is a matching numbers car that has been babied all its life. It still has all its keys, all its owner's books, it's complete and original toolkit, all the soft plastic bits and pieces- gloves- tire bag- kneeling sheet that Porsche gave you tucked down under your spare tire and it's tire inflating compressor. Early in this car is life while being serviced by the dealer the rear bumper was damaged by a driver following the technician while on a test drive and not paying attention. The damage done was nonstructural and consisted of refinishing the rear bumper replacing a tail lamp and the rubber cushions on the rear bumper. No structural damage whatsoever.
The motor was removed the heads were sent out to an air-cooled Porsche specialist where the valves and valve guides placed. The engine was resealed and head studs replaced. All the fasteners all the gaskets everything used in this service was new from Porsche directly.
with no expense spared with nothing other than OEM parts. All the aluminum was cleaned or media blasted, all the tin work was powder coated, and as you can see by the photographs all the fasteners and clamps have also been replaced with the proper finished components. The clutch is fresh, shocks and struts are fresh as are the brakes, rotors, rubber hoses, wheel bearings etc. the wheels were refinished to factory new standard and have continental contact DW tires. This automobile also has totally modern air conditioning system which appears identical to the factory system but new and improved and updated including an extra condenser the left rear quarter panel behind the wheel, and this system supplies ice cold air conditioning even on the hottest summer days. A massive improvement over the original systems. Upon completion of all the work car was lowered just over an inch to give it the European stance and it was completed with a four-wheel alignment with the pre-weighted driver's seat at 180 pounds. This car looks, runs, and drives as a brand-new car, with the exception of a little more power and a much smoother gearbox. All mechanical upgrades and modifications were performed by a Porsche certified 40-year experienced master technician.
