Welcome to VALEUROSPORT, thepremier online store for pre-owned, prime quality Jaguar supercharged sedans, convertibles, and coupes
If you've been searching for that hard to find, ultra-rare Jaguar sports car to enjoy and keep as a collectible, this is the only one right for you. In fact, this is one of only 250 XKR SILVERSTONE originally produced in the whole world. I am not sure how many of these fine cars are left in the world, but a 1 owner, no accident, low mileage garage queen such as this will be harder to find than the Philosopher's Stone.
Please click here to review this MotorWeek review about this special car
Here is the complete text of this review:
| Commemorative and limited edition automobiles are nothing new. In fact, the word “limited” in limited edition has become so ambiguous, it often means the exact opposite. But not in this case. Built to honor Jaguar’s entry into Formula One racing, only 250 of these XKR Silverstones are destined for North America. Now that’s pretty limited, but when it comes to pure driving performance with pleasure, this commemorative cat is anything but. So we headed to the fast two-miles of Roebling Road Raceway just outside Savannah, Georgia. Where we could safely unleash the 2001 Jaguar XKR Silverstone without evil speed traps limiting our progress. And with its sleek and graceful feline form riding on huge 20 inch BBS “Detroit”-style alloy paws padded with Pirelli P Zero rubber, progress never looked so sweet. Or felt so good! Because under the hood is Jag’s most powerful mainstream production engine in the company’s history. It’s a supercharged and intercooled, 4.0 liter, twin-cam, 32- valve, aluminum AJ-V8. And it produces 370 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque. Smooth and deceptively fast, our drivers consistently scratched out 4.9 second runs to 60, and Roebling’s quarter mile passed in 13.2 seconds at 109 mph. A half second faster than the XKR we tested in Maryland a year ago. Power hits hard right from the start, reaching its peak at just 3600 rpm. But with the supercharger’s 11.6 psi of boost, there’s plenty of neck-snapping umph in the upper powerband as well. Power is fed through a 5-speed automatic transmission with normal and sport modes. When driving in a civilized manner, shifts are nearly seamless. But in thrust-and-parry driving, shifts feel somewhat vague and inconsistent. And the clever J-gated shifter is becoming vintage, although it does feature a manual shift mode for invigorating driving. But there’s nothing vintage about the rest of the Silverstone. As this cat’s suspension has been tweaked for those who enjoy driving with great gusto. The independent front suspension uses unequal-length upper and lower wishbones that connect to a fully isolated aluminum crossbeam. The diameter of the Silverstone’s front anti-roll bar has been increased to 26 millimeters, with a 34 percent increase in spring rates over the standard XKR. In the back, the Silverstone’s driveshafts act as upper links, with wishbones underneath. And to maintain balance, the anti-roll bar has actually been decreased by 2 millimeters to 15. Rear spring rates, however, have been increased by 15 percent. Shock movement all around is controlled by Jag’s Computer Active Technology Suspension. But Silverstone coupes get a Performance Handling Pack that recalibrates the system for tauter handling. It also lowers the ride height by 10mm. What all this suspension-speak means is the Silverstone grips the track like a cat on a velvet sofa. We did find more high speed dive and roll than was obvious at our home drag strip, but the variable-ratio speed-sensitive power steering has also been tweaked to allow for aggressive, yet almost effortless, driving. Turn ins are spot on, but at speed understeer is prevalent, creating the need for some minor mid-corner corrections. Still, this cat is capable of carrying some serious velocity through the twisties. And it was while under the influence of G forces that go hand in hand with said velocity that our drivers discovered a lack of lateral support in the otherwise very comfortable leather buckets. You’ll slide around more than the car does. Tasteful red stitching highlights set the Silverstone interior apart from standard XKRs and nicely complement the stained bird’s-eye maple wood trim. As before, controls throughout the cockpit fall easily to hand and don’t require an engineering degree to decipher. There are rear seats but space is so tight even children tire of the confinement on short trips. But then again, this car is not about hauling sprouts to soccer games. It’s about an adult passion for driving, fatigue-free long distance cruising, and the sweet whine of supercharged prowess. And in those areas, the Silverstone lives large. But in the harsh reality of everyday driving, there will be times when it’s necessary to slow down. And there, the Silverstone has you amply covered too. With a set of Brembo 4-piston brake calipers originally designed for the XK 180 concept. And they hug huge 14 and 13 inch front and rear cross-drilled rotors. We averaged stops from 60 in a mere 103 feet. But as you might expect, all this limited edition luxury and performance doesn’t come cheap. MSRP on the Silverstone coupe is a healthy $95,905. The Silverstone can also be had in a convertible edition, that in its solidity, takes virtually nothing away from the coupe except, of course, the top. It lists for slightly more at $97,500. The 2001 Jaguar XKR Silverstone coupe and convertible are fitting tributes to the legendary British race course where Jaguar racing made its claim to fame. As for the fortunate 250 owners who will be piloting these big cats, we’re already turning green with envy of British racing green, naturally. |
The XKR Silverstone Convertible is certainly a special car, beloved by enthusiasts and collectors and increasing in value over the past several years.
This particular XKR is simply stunning. The pictures do not do justice to the car. She is worthy of gracing any exotic car showroom and will be a perfect addition to your collection. The most desirable 20" DETROIT BBS wheels are flawless, both the interior and exterior are in the shape one would expect from a car worthy of the reputation of VALEUROSPORT.
Last year I personally drove an identical XKR Silverstone like this 2500 miles across the country and made memories of a lifetime. Here are some pictures from the trip:

The odds of finding a low mileage XKR SILVERSTONE Convertible with unscathed DETROIT wheels like these, monstrous 20" tires with staggered 285/30 R20 rear and 255/35 R20 front, in this clean of condition, with a clean 2 owner carfax history, and with a complete service history to boot, are astronomical! This is the only time in one's lifetime where such a rare specimen is found with this little mileage and in this great condition. OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!

For those of you who are a little shy about buying a car on e-bay sight unseen, here is some of the feedback we have gotten recently:
| 2004 BMW 330ci convertible with Sport Package | Good day Val, I love my 330Ci that I received this week! All the process in the purchase, to the paperwork, to the delivery, to the car itself was top notch in every aspect! And the personal interest that was taken made the whole experience very easy. Thank you Val and your staff for delivering exactly what you promised, John
John Graves |
| 2001 BMW 540iT Touring Wagon | Bought a BMW 540iT from Val and we are very pleased with the car and the experience. I flew from Michigan to North Carolina a bit worried how the whole thing would turn out. My advice to anyone considering doing the same is don't hesitate, make the trip! Val is a man of integrity and sells quality vehicles. If I could do it over again I would buy a one way ticket. He did ship the car to us within 3 days of purchase, talk about fast delivery! Thanks for everything, it was fun. Tom Thompson |
| 2008 BMW 535xi Touring Wagon | Our new BMW was exactly as described. Val was delightful to deal with and made this purchase easy all the way through the process. We will do business with him again and appreciate the high quality customer service. Highly recommend to other buyers of BMWs! Laurie Rogers |
| 2008 BMW 650i | Do you know how you can tell you have a great business to business relationship? Professionalism, integrity and passion. That is what I found in purchasing a luxury car (BMW 650i) sight unseen from a company I never met. Val is passionate about the products he sells to prospective customers. Why? Because you can tell by just interfacing with him. His passion is to please his customers. And, he delivers what he tells you he is going to deliver. Thank you Val. Our company will be back when we are in the market for a great car from a terrific company.
Signed,
Christopher Mac |
| 2005 Jaguar XK8 | Being a dealer in rare coins as well as gold and silver in my business your word is taken as gospel. my dealing with val was just that. the car was just as described. not a problem of any kind. he even assisted with the shipping. in short I feel that the right way to sell a car is with truth, honesty, and a wonderful product. I would simply call it VAL'S WAY. Dave Powers |
| 2004 Jaguar XKR Jupiter Portfolio | Val Thank you again |
| 2005 Jaguar XK8 Radiance | My husband and I have Val of Valeurosports to thank, for finding this gorgeous XK8 convertible for me. We had never bought a vehicle of any kind, through the Internet, and were really concerned about buying and shipping a car, 'sight unseen', other than pictures. Our fears were for naught! Thanks to Val, this turned out to be a pleasant buying experience, and an easy transaction to complete. This red beauty was exactly as Val described, and my local Jag dealer, where I have been a customer for many years, couldn't unearth any hidden defects or problems! Trust me, they tried! Nancy Robb, Spring Hill, KS |
| 2006 Jaguar XKR Victory Edition | I purchased a 2006 XKR Victory Edition from Val in October of 2015. Overall it was a very smooth and easy experience. I travelled in from Chicago without having seen the car in person and was pleased that he represented the car well, and that it was everything I was expecting and as-described online. He also kindly agreed to take my other Jaguar as a trade in, which was a big help to me. The whole process took less than an hour when I got there. Also, Val is the only person in the company, so you deal exclusively with him throughout the transaction which makes it easier. I would definitely buy another car from him in the future. Thanks Val!!! ---- Matthew Clark The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor |
| 2009 Mercedes C300 Sport | I brought a 2009 Mercedes C300 from Valeurosport and this was by far my best auto buying experience! From the personal attention to amazing customer service Valentin made the transaction easy and painless. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a car. I love my vehicle and have not had any problems with it. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and Valentin even arranged for the car to be shipped to me and through his resources I received an amazingly low shipping price. I will definitely be coming back to Valentin in the future for the purchase of my next vehicle. Tracey Cason |
| 2002 Jaguar XKR 100 convertible | I purchased a Jaguar XKR 100 convertible from Valeurosport in June 2015, completely over the internet. They were very responsive throughout the process,easy to deal with, and even helped with arranging the shipping. No hidden fees, and I'm just thrilled with the car. Chris Burton |
| 2008 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | I just purchased a Jaguar XJ from Valeurosport and the experience was world class. The car was in beautiful condition, exactly as advertised, and the customer service from Valentin was absolutely top-notch. When it was time to buy the car, he actually drove to meet me at the Enterprise where I was dropping off my rental, waited while I handled the drop-off, then drove me to my new vehicle. You simply do not see that level of care from the typical volume-based auto dealer. Anyone in the Raleigh-Durham area who is looking for a pre-owned luxury import should be checking out Valeurosport. - Alexander Macris, Durham NC |
| 2004 BMW 645ci 6 speed | Frankly, I was nervous about buying a car, unseen, online. I spent a lot of time reviewing various offerings. When I came across your offering the quality of the presentation, the large number of pictures, and the way you listed the car differentiated you from so many other sellers. It was a risk to fly down to NC to pick up the car but I am very satisfied. The drive back from NC to NY was a 10 hour 'road test' and the car operated flawlessly.
I also enjoyed meeting you in person. I think you are a gentleman and have good integrity. I would buy a car again from you and I hope this testimonial helps you win additional business.

| 2001 Jaguar XKR Silverstone | My husband bought me a Jaguar from ValEurosport for my birthday. When I flew to NC to pick it up, Valerie picked me up from the airport. She was so nice and so helpful! She made sure I knew all about my low ground clearance and to avoid potholes—and even suggested an app that warned me of upcoming potholes, roadkill and police. Thanks, Valerie! Julie M. Deltona, FL |
| 2009 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | Hello, I was looking for a Jag Super 8 down in south Florida. Icouldn't find any and I came across ValEurosport Website. They had just what I was looking for. I sent an email inquiring about two cars. Ireceived and email and a phone call the same day. Made the purchase that week and had the car bySaturdayof the same week. They even ship it for me to Florida from North Carolina. Transaction was very easycompared to a Big Car dealership. Dave SF |
| 2003 Jaguar XKR convertible Carnival Red | I recently purchased a 2003 XKR from ValEuroSport. I had been looking for a red convertible for over a year and found the car on Valentin’s web site quite by accident. I’m glad I did. After a few email exchanges and phone calls, I drove to North Carolina to see the car. Valentin arranged for the car to be inspected at the local Jaguar dealer and he offered to purchase two convertible top seals that needed to be replaced. I bought the car that same day. The car is in very good shape, I got a fair deal, and it is a sweet ride!
I was very pleased with the entire transaction – something that cannot be said for most car purchases. Valentin was very professional, considerate and attentive to detail. I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from Valentin or to recommend him to a friend.

| 2005 Cadillac CTS-V | Hi Val I just wanted to say thanks you, after searchingfor months on the web page after page for my cadillacCTS-V finally Icame acrossyour web-site and found my CTS-V I said to myself why would anyone want to sell this car its perfect.

| 2006 Jaguar XK8 convertible Seafrost Green | Words cannot express the joy and gratitude I have for the professional standards of Mr. Valentin Cristea. He is not only a man of his word, but, he istrustworthy, sincere, engaging and very thoughtful. Because this was a very non-traditional way for me to purchase a car, and it was the first time I have ever purchased a car without ever actually seeing it, he has a rapport about him that can put your mind and worries at ease. I have been looking at this car for a long time and decided I would contact him and boy, am I glad I did! He made my dream car a reality! He gave me an exceptional deal on the car and even handled the shipping, which was a huge load off ofmy mind. I was a little nervous at first, but he is so reassuring that I was very confident that this man was one-of-a-kind! He's integrity and honesty is unmatched, and I am so happy to have met him in this endeavor and I will always be grateful to him for that. Most importantly, the car is awesome, flawless in every way! It was just as he and his enormous amount of pictures described and showed. I love my car and my new friend, Val! I will definitely be a repeat customer.... Val, YOU ARE THE GREATEST! Sincerely from the heart, IraVon Ashby Painter, Virginia |
| 2004 BMW 325ci convertible | I was recently searching for a BMW to surprise my wife with. After seeing a white 2004 325ci convertible on Vals website I called to find out if it was as clean as it looked in the photos. Val described the car to me and it sounded perfect. We agreed on a price and a few days later I flew down to North Carolina to pick up the car. Val met me at the airport in the BMW and it was as clean as described. The paint, interior and engine compartment were spotless. We drove back to Vals office and completed the paperwork in less than 45 minutes. I drove the car home from N.C. to New York and enjoyed every minute of it. It performed flawlessly. James McAllister |
| 2005 Jaguar XK8 Pacific Blue | I just purchased a 2005 Jaguar XK8 from Valeurosport and couldn't be happier! The car is beautiful - just as advertised - and it was a pleasure working with the owner to complete the sale. He was very helpful and accommodating. Valeurosport is a site I will continue to keep in my Favorites! Kathi Kahoe Winchester, VA |
| 2004 BMW 330ci convertible | We received our car promptly and are very happy with the car. The man delivering the vehicle did a really nice job of keeping in contact with us prior to the delivery. We are very pleased with the entire purchase process – you made everything very easy for us and we thank you for that. Cathleen Shankland Fort Mill, SC |
| 2005 Jaguar XKR convertible | It has been very pleasurable working with Valentin. I purchased a 2006 British Racing Green Jaguar XKR convertible from him based on his detailed description and pictures on his website. The price was very reasonable. The monetary transaction was seamless, and it was delivered to my residence by his shipper within 7 days of my purchase, at a rate less than what he had originally quoted me. The car itself runs and drives like a dream. It is everything he had described on his website. No dents, dings or surprises. My wife and I are very satisfied with it. We look forward to him finding us a low mileage black/tan coupe next! Thank you Valeurosport!

| 2006 Jaguar XKR convertible Victory Edition | I couldn't resist… My black beauty as an XKR convertible, victory final edition. It is unbelivebale, but in 15 days my second Jag from your exceptional small, but very fine and cared inventory! Ivory stiched, black leather seats, a very rare carbon dashboard - it looks absolutely stylish and sporty. And with the 20" BBS wheels, low miles, absolutely gorgious. Thank you very much for your very sympathic help - so makes trading overseas real fun! Alexander, Jag enthusiast, Lucerne, Switzerland | ||
| 2006 Jaguar XKR convertible | My dear Valentin, I could get my XKR convertible dream car as beautyful victory modell from you and I'm very happy. You was open and trustful. The way for the lorry from Apex to Newark, to Bremerhaven in Germany and finally to Zürich was absolutely professional organised and quit fast - that all to reasonable costs. I hope see you once for BBQ in Switzerland ;-)) Jag collector, Alexander Schaller, Switzerland | ||
| 2005 Jaguar XKR convertible | Val, I wanted to send you a note regarding the 2005 Jaguar XKR that I purchased from you for my wife’s surprise 60thbirthday. After a long search I was lucky to come across your vehicle which fit the bill perfectly. Your help in answering all of my questions really helped to seal the deal. I really appreciate your picking me up at the airport after I flew in and spending the amount of time you did reviewing the vehicle which was the first time I really had a chance to see it. Needless to say it was just as you had presented it and a little bit more. The handoff was seamless and the paperwork was ready as you said. The ride home (about 600 mile) was spectacular and couldn’t have been more enjoyable. When I presented the car to my wife for her surprise birthday party with about 50 of our longtime friends you could hear nothing more than screams of “ I don’t believe it”! She is still pinching herself and loves the car. I am not so sure I have made many points with many of our friends husbands as the bar has been raised to a new high as they all mentioned. It was a real pleasure dealing with you as everything we discussed was completed as promised. I look forward to talking to you in the Fall when I will be looking to replace my existing vehicle. Thanks again. Bill Moberger. | ||
| 2005 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | Val, I researched this car for some time, learned everything I could about it before I started my search. As you well know, these cars often require a National search to find the right one. That’s where you came in. You provided me with everything I asked for ahead of the sale and quickly, allowing me to do adequate due diligence. You answered every question and were very patient with me. The car arrived this week and I couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s simply gorgeous and you were right, my wife loves the rare color combination. She’s a wee bit jealous and wants to ditch her Mercedes for Super 8 now. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone shopping for these exquisite cars. Feel free to refer any potential customers to me. Thank you again.

| 2005 Jaguar XK8 | Dear Val, | ||
| 2005 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | Dear Val, I received my 2005 XJ SuperV8 last week. Since it was delivered I have gone over every inch of it and it is exactly as you said it was. I am very pleased with your professionalism and honesty. It was the first time I had ever purchased a car sight unseen and I was hesitant to say the least. Your listing was so complete and detailed I felt more at ease. Matter of fact,while looking at other Jaguar XJ's I always ended up going back to your listing as a reference point to help with my buying decision. You even had a live video of the vehicle being driven from the outside and inside. Very impressive! During the video I heard a small squeak and asked you to look into it for me. It was a dried bushing in the rear suspension that you had repaired for me at no additional cost. I have had it now a week. I checked it out and I had my independent shop do a full inspection. It got a double thumbs up! Notonly for mechanical condition but also for the perfect conditionof cleanliness it was in. I am driving it almost daily and it is a very fine car and you are a fine Professional salesman and businessman. I was happy with the price, happy with the service, and extremely happy with my new Jaguar. I will recommend you to all my friends. In closing I want to say "THANK YOU ! " Sincerely | ||

| 2006 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | Val, I've been looking for an XJ8-L for over a year. I was using ebay to gather information on style, pricing, value, etc. when I came across your listing. The first thing I was impressed by was the consistency of your listings. You always provided clear images, concise information and portrayed confidence in the vehicle you were selling. I came to the point I used your listings as a benchmark to determine what i wanted in a vehicle. If another seller's listing didn't have comparable information, they didn't get a second look. Patience brought me to the vehicle I decided to buy from you. This vehicle proved to be everything I was looking for, including style, color, appointments, year and mileage. We struck a deal and we went to work. If you could call it work. Val, you made the purchase of this vehicle a breeze. We made arrangements for us to pick up the vehicle in North Carolina and now "Kitty" is home! Thank you for such a pleasant buying experience. You have made a loyal customer and friend. I hope our paths cross again. Sincerely, Gus Sawyer Farmington, NM | ||
| 2003 Mercedes S600 | The best experience I've ever had with a dealership and salesman. Everything he said about the car was completely accurate, from carfax to service records. Look no further to find your next luxury vehicle. Nickalus Walker Anguilla, MS | ||
| 2008 Jaguar XJ8 Super 8 | Val, I want to tell youthatmy 2008 Jaguar Super Eight is not onlywhat you told me, it is a PERFECT car!In this day and age to purchase a vehicle of this caliber sight unseen, over the internet and be so accurately represented was the most pleasant of surprise. But really Val, it was you who made me feel at ease, the beautiful HD pics and extended video, the carein which you selected the transportation, and the general conversations we had, getting to know one another. These are the thingsthatnurtured the relationshipculminating into my decision to purchase. | ||
| 2005 Audi A8L | I have to say that after Months of researching for a very specific car, I got very lucky in a couple ways. First off, I was willing to travel up to 750 miles to get a Black on Black A8, but as fate would have it Val was offering one just miles from my home. He was very accessible for test drives, and even went out of his way to deliver the car to the local Audi dealer for an in-depth inspection. When I spoke to the staff at the Audi dealer, they said they had been working with Val for years, and went on to say that he always offers high end, well maintained autos. My Audiisno exception! Secondly, the level of service you receive from Val is unprecedented. He takes a lot of pride in the way he treats his clients. We did go back and forth on price a bit, but that's to be expected in this market. At no time did he come off as a second rate car salesman. He presents himself and his company with the utmost of professionalism. My wife is going to be in the market for a new car in the next year or two, and without question I will be contacting Val. Without hesitation I recommend using Valeurosport for your high end, lightly used car need. Thanks Again Val! Sincerely Ed & Jen Kenney BB&TWEALTH | ||
| 2006 Jaguar XK8 | Dear Val: I feel like we have been long time friends after this perfect transaction. I have never purchased a car on Ebay, let alone a high end luxury car but this transaction was the best. Car arrived as promised with absolutely NO disappointments. Thanks for all the "hand-holding" and answered questions as we traversed the paper work labyrinth. The 06 Jaguar XK8 now has a permanent home in the North Georgia Mountains and we welcome you and your wife to join us anytime for a glass of fine wine to celebrate life. You are truly the best at what you love to do! Rick and Cindy Atlanta, GA | ||
| 2006 Jaguar XJR | Val,
It has been a pleasure working with you on the purchase of my 2006 XJR. As a fellow non-traditional part time car-dealer I am typically on the lookout for any angle another dealer will attempt to exploit. I can honestly say that you have gone above and beyond to assist me with this purchase. I consider myself extremely focused on good customer service, however, I am not entirely sure I would have gone to the lengths that you have to assist me in post-sale and post-delivery aid. As a result I will start my concierge searches for requested units at your company. More to the point, any time I’m in the market for another Jag or specialty car I intend on calling you first.
Sincerely,
Stephen D. Gulfport, MS | ||
| 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG | Hey Val, Thanks a lot for one of the easiest car buying experiences I have ever had. I love the E55 AMG you sold me and plan to keep it for a very long time. I especially appreciated you keeping in constant contact with me through the entire buying process and picking me up from the airport. If any of my friends or relative are looking for a high-end European automotive, I will send them your way. Thanks, Zach Z. Mount Pleasant, SC To other potential buyers, Val is a good guy and he does his best to accurately describe and document every feature and characteristic of the cars that he sells. I was hesitant buying such an exclusive car through Ebay, but Val made me a confident bidder by constantly keeping a line of communication and assuring me that there was no obligation to purchase the car in person unless it 100% matched my expectations. I would definitely come back to ValEurosport for another car in the future. | ||
| 2003 Jaguar XK8 | I recently purchased a beautiful Jaguar convertible from Valentin. Never having purchased a car from out-of-state and sight unseen (other than photos), I was a bit apprehensive. However, any anxiety I might have experienced turned out to be completely unnecessary as the car as delivered was precisely as described. And it was a true pleasure to deal with Valentin who proved not only to be honest, but very thorough, professional and conscientious as well. He earned my respect and is deserving of his good reputation. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

| 2006 Jaguar XK8 | Val, As I put on my Facebook page: "Yes, I know I am a decade or two past middle age. And no, there is no crisis. But, damn ain't she beautiful! 2006 Jaguar XK8 with 23,000 original miles." The car runs beautifully and looks magnificent. I don't know where you find cars like this, but I love that you do. You have another satisfied customer. John Stewart, Chapel Hill, NC | ||
| 2007 Mercedes S600 | Val: I thank you for your exemplary professionalism, trustworthiness, and helpfulness. Buying a car sight unseen from someone with whom one has had no prior experience requires trust; you have proven to be a better, more honest counterparty than I could have hoped for. Your documentation of the vehicle was accurate and complete. Your follow-up has been timely and appropriate. You were very helpful in arranging shipping that was reasonably priced but also prompt and with a communicative agent. I also appreciated some of the small kindnesses that you offered along the way. In short, thanks for handling your side of the transaction so well and making it run so smoothly for me. The S600 is just as you said that it was, great to drive and in perfect condition. The next time I want to locate another quality vehicle for myself or my wife, I will certainly contact you. You are really a pleasure to deal with and made the car buying experience as enjoyable as I have ever experienced. I strongly endorse you to prospective customersas a first classdealer in fine automobiles and as a gentleman. Thanks again for everything. Best Regards, Scott McCandless Kansas City | ||

| 2004 Jaguar XK8 Convertible | Val is the most honest person I have encountered in the auto industry. His integrity is unmatched. ............. I just received your letter and check regarding the dent repair. You are, by far, the most honest and responsive person I have ever dealt with in the auto industry. If I believed in karma, I would expect you to enjoy many positivereturns on your honesty and integrity. Cheers, VinceZurzolo Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 | ||
| 2006 Audi A8L | Well let me start by saying how much I enjoyed purchasing this black beauty from Val. I have never purchased a car where I did not have to leave my recliner! I am handicapped from an auto accident 8 years ago and can only drive certain vehicles because of my leg brace etc. I was not shopping in earnest but looking at BMW 750iL's as my next purchase and had test driven a couple with prohibitive prices for a person on disability. That is when this Beautiful Black Panther came into my life, of all places on Ebay!!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing and called Val at 8+PM. We talked informally for a while but I was leery from the beginning and started my due diligence as best I could. Usually if it's too good to be true, it is...I read all the accolades from his customers in almost disbelief.I called the following morning and we came to a very fair agreement. Then the reality of life and trust came back into play in my mind? I'm going to send this much money to someone I have never met for a car I have never seen???? Valexplainedhow we would do it, and I had my Credit Union run checks. All the while Val was understanding, and there for my questions. And now back to where I started, I bought the most beautiful car I have ever owned, "from my New Friend Val" and from my recliner. I didn't have to deal with Salesmen, Dealers etc. I was in the comfort of my living room! I received better service, an amazing car, that was everything Val had said and MORE... And like most of Val's customers a friend and future source for my auto purchasing in the future. All I have asked Val for since purchasing this awesome 150 mph. Audi A8L limo is for more business cards to give friends for their future auto needs. Excuse Me, I did error. I had to get up and use the FAX machine once. For a cripple this is a big deal. Val, Best Wishes Always. And I hope you keep making your customers as Happy as you have made M
