Over
the past 12 years Buxton Motorsports, Inc. has been very lucky to have
delivered quite a few very rare and very interesting vehicles from the
most prestigious and famous automobile manufacturers in the
world. Through the process of buying and selling out our
inventory it has become second nature to write a check for a vehicle we
have never seen, or to ship a vehicle to one of our clients with the
utmost certainty that they will be completely satisfied with their
purchase. Even though the first time they will actually
physically touch their new vehicle is when it arrives in their driveway!
While
the
internet has made it possible to search the nation for the exact make,
model and color vehicle with your preferred options, it has not made
the distance from coast-to-coast any smaller, nor has it added more
than 24 hours in a day, or given us any less responsibilities at home
and the office. And sometimes when you find the exact vehicle
that you are searching for, actually seeing it, touching it and driving
it is not possible.
We
understand that
while it may be second nature to us, buying a car sight unseen can be a
very unnerving and disconcerting process for someone who purchases a
vehicle once every one, two or three years. If you fall into this
category then you are like hundreds of our previous clients. So
in order to make the process a little bit easier and more fun, we have
modeled our business practices to the highest standards, providing as
much information as possible about every vehicle, making available a
large number of very specific photographs and very personalized
service. With the redesign of our website we thought it would be
a good idea to help alleviate some uncertainty and caution by allowing
prospective clients to "hear" from those who have purchased vehicles
from us in the past - both from our inventory and through our locating
services. Below are some testimonials from some of our current
and previous clients.

Brian,
My wife
and I want to thank you for your warmth and professionalism in our
quest for my
(I should say ‘our’) “dream car”. I look forward
to the time when I can recommend a friend or acquaintance to you.
I know
we will have years of “the ultimate driving experience”.
Again,
thank you.

Steve Gerteisen,
2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 4-Matic
"Wow
this thing is smooth as silk - ride, power delivery, handling,
interior. All just as it should be. Having been a sports car driver for
so long I was a bit nervous going to something like the E. My fears
were unfounded, its an amazing machine. I greatly appreciate how easy
it was to work on this with you. You can be assured all my future
vehicles will be acquired through you. Feel free to use this as a
reference, I would recommend your services to anyone!
Waiting for D-Pat to call me back about installing the Nav module. I
can see why you like the E-class. I may look at an E55 for my next
daily driver - more power is always nice.
Steve"

Ferrari Testarossa Spyder
"I
really liked dealing with Brian. Very honest and a good communicator. I
thought that Brian was very professional, honest and up front about the
condition of the TR. He took almost 60 pictures of the car to e-mail me
and was always available to answer my questions. He was even willing to
drive to Louisville, KY in the middle of the night to show me
the car!

"I
have driven to Baltimore and back twice and come within a hair's width
of getting tagged going 120 MPH!!! Yykes this thing is fast!!! And the
handling is tight, but not teeth-jarring. Exactly what I wanted.
Beautiful car, both in appearance and aesthetics. I couldn't be more
pleased.
Thanks
again, Brian.

Baltor, 2004
Ford Thunderbird, 7K miles
"The
car arrived Sunday evening. It was definitely worth the wait! It
is spectacular. Feels and looks as "showroom" new as you can get.
Yesterday, I took it to be smog tested (passed of course) so I can
register it on Thursday. I am not anticipating any problems with the
registration process, but if anything comes up I'll give you a call.
I'll
put the paperwork for you in the mail and leave positive feedback
on Ebay.
We
are very happy. A million thanks!
Regards,
Tammy"

Everett-Morrison 427 AC Cobra tribute
"Brian:
This
message is to truly thank you for my recent purchase of the
Everette-Morrison AC Shelby Cobra from Buxton Motorsports.
Your courtesy and professionalism is
very much appreciated, and in this day and time it can also be very
rare!
This
is the first time in my life I have ever purchased an automobile
without
first seeing and driving the automobile. Since
its purchase and delivery, I have found
all the information you
provided me on this Cobra was extremely accurate and there have been no
surprises.
Your
patience and communication with me prior to purchase, which also
included coordination of the car’s inspection and arrangements for
shipping,
were extraordinary!
The only regret I have about my purchase of this Cobra is that I did
not have the opportunity to meet you personally and to see your
inventory of
other automobiles!
I love the Cobra and I have received nothing but compliments since its
purchase.

Alby Berman, 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster, 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello
"Dear Brian,
I want to thank you for finding
the Ferrari 550 Maranello for me. The color combination, mileage,
condition and price was well beyond my expectations. I thought I
was going to have to settle for a car with much more miles and/or poor
colors to meet my budget.
I remember when I first
approached you after selling my 1994 Porsche Speedster and saying my
next car would be a Ferrari. I had 6 Porsches over the past
30 years and was looking for something more exotic. At the time I
liked the look of the Ferrari 456GT, but had not driven one or knew
much about them. After doing a little investigation, I decided
that I liked the performance of the Ferrari Maranello better, but it
was a lot more expensive. I went back and forth for months and
you kept in touch waiting for me to make up my mind. I finally
drove the 456GT and decided it did not meet my performance needs. Then
I started thinking about a Turbo Porsche as the Maranello was above my
budget. Instead of telling me what to do, you gave me the time to make
my own mind up. This was invaluable to me as really
needed to decide for myself. I think you already knew that the
Ferrari was what I really wanted.
When the specific car came up at
the price you were able to negotiate, I had also made up my mind that
the Maranello was the car I wanted. Timing and your patience
worked out for both of us. I saw pictures of the car months
before, but wrote it off as too expensive. I remember saying to myself
that if money was not an issue, this would be the ideal color
combination along with great options; carbon fiber package and 3-piece
factory wheels. Then you come up with the car at the right price.
Fantastic.
If you ever need a
reference for a job well done, feel
free to give them my name and telephone number.
Best Regards,
Alby Berman"
John Piucci,
2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 4-Matic sedan
"I
wanted to express my appreciation to you for the manner in which you
handled the sale of the 01 Mercedes-Benz E3204M. As a first time
purchaser of a vehicle through E-Bay, I must say that the transaction
went better than I anticipated and I believe it was due in no small
part to your thoroughness and fine customer service.
I
enjoy the car immensely and have already received a number of
compliments on it. Most people can't believe its seven years old. The
car is a joy to drive and after having it for barely two weeks, I can
say that I wish I had purchased one a long time ago. A friend of mine
found a 2001 E Series dealer brochure somewhere (probably on e-bay!)
and sent it to me. Along with the manuals in the car, I now have the
complete picture. And, speaking of documentation, I appreciated the
sticker and service invoices that you included with the file; they
answered some questions that I had.
The
car is in great shape and I am looking forward to enjoying it for a
number of years to come.
Thanks
again, Brian, and if I ever have the need or desire to purchase
another vehicle, your site will be the first one I check out.

"Glad
you received the title and that all is settled. Do miss the car,
but as you can imagine, in my situation right now it is not a major
concern. I certainly plan on recouping from this mess and will follow
your website and growth as time goes on. I am very pleased with our
dealings and will recommend you wide and far. Thanks for the best
wishes, and God’s blessings to you too Brian.

"Yesterday
I received the Excalibur. There has been lot of delays in
Chicago due to lack in containers, and when you are a "small" customer,
I am afraid that you often get behind in the queue.
But
now it is here, and I must say that I am very satisfied with the
vehicle. It is in excellent condition, and exactly as your described -
no defects and nothing hidden.
Thank
you very much for that, it has been a pleasure doing business
with you.
I
only have the best recommendations to do business with you and your
company."

buying experience.

Chaad Thomas, 1988 Porsche 928S4
"Dear
Brian,
I
thought I'd drop you a quick note of appreciation during this, the 24th
month of my ownership of the 928 I bought from you.
I
could, honestly, just cut-and-paste the accolades from my email last
year ... this car has been great! It has been a dependable,
strong
runner, but has also made me a member of a great community of 928
owners! The culture of support and enthusiasm amongst the group,
based
around the owners forum on Rennlist, has been indispensable and
tremendously enjoyable.
Aside
from our local events and get-togethers, I made it down to a large
gathering in N. Carolina this year, which had over 100 928s in
attendance. A few of us gathered up in Knoxville beforehand to
run the
Tail of the Dragon, which was great fun, too.
This
season, apart from a radiator replacement, it has just been cosmetic
stuff; new wheels, fender plaques, clear turn signal lenses ... little
stuff like that. Oh, and I replaced the Eclipse CD player with a
Nakamichi unit because the CD stopped working. I've also replaced
most
of the interior lights with red LED's, and will probably do the gauge
lighting before it goes up for storage again this winter.
Another
to-do-list item is the motor mount replacement. I've got 'em in
the
garage waiting to go, but just can't stop driving long enough to commit
to the job! Soon, though, before it gets to cold to be
lying around
in the garage!
Again,
Brian, I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that I sing your
praises at every opportunity. I've been eyeballing that Esprit,
too,
in case I strike it big..."

1997 Porsche 993 C4S
"I
was recommended to Buxton Motorsports by Steve Turco, CNY Porsche
Club president several years ago when looking for a 968. I rang Brian
up and we began the process of locating and buying a car. Since then I
have purchased a '97 C4S with Brian's help. I cannot say enough about
the professionalism and care shown to me regarding these two purchases.
I look forward to working with Brian again on my next car and
wholeheartedly endorse his process and the services provided by Buxton
Motorsports."

"Brian,
Just
wanted to
thank you for helping bless the life of my wife's grandma! She
loved the car and she really needed it. Again, thank you and I
appreciate your help. If you ever come across cars like this
again, between $1K and $10K, let me know. I have a list of people
in our church and others who we could help."
Joseph Husslein, 1989
Porsche 911
coupe, new 2006 Land
Rover Range Rover HSE, new 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante
"To
Whom It
May Concern,
If
you are
considering using Buxton Motorsports for your next vehicle purchase, do
so without hesitation!
On
2 separate
occasions I have used Buxton Motorsports to locate, procure, coordinate
and perform customizations along with transporting my vehicles: a 1989
Porsche 911 and 2006 Range Rover HSE. In both instances my
desired vehicle specifications and requirements were very particular
and specific. Without flaw, Buxton performed exceptionally ---
exceeding my expectations in a most professional and diligent manner.
Of
interest is
that I have never visited Buxton Motorsports facility nor met any of
their staff in person. Living in Guam, a remote island in the
Western Pacific (about 6,000 miles from California), all of my
interactions with Mr. Buxton and his staff have been conducted via
telephone, email, and courier. I am sure you will agree that this
speaks volumes in the trust and confidence that Mr. Buxton and his
staff have earned, and deserved!
When
considering my next purchase I will undoubtedly use Buxton Motorsports
--- without hesitation."
Steve and Anne Seufer, 1997
Mercury Mountaineer V8 4x4
"Dear
Brian,
I
wanted to
write you this quick note to say thank you for offering the Mercury
Mountaineer to us. We couldn't be happier with its performance
and all the extras are a luxury (my son loves the rear seat air and
audio controls!). My biggest thanks is to you for handling this
business deal with grace and honesty. The transaction went so
smooth and it was such a breath of fresh air to find someone who runs
his business with moral integrity. Keep us in mind if you run
across a nice affordable Jaguar."
Steve Turco,
1989 Porsche 911
Speedster (46!
original miles in 2000), 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 cabriolet
"To
Whom It
May Concern: Buxton Motorsports, Brian Buxton, especially has been a
gold medal experience to me in Syracuse NY. Brian handled the
sale of my '89 Speedster, the most sought after car in the 911 line and
possibly the most sought after car in the Porsche Club of
America. His expertise and professional manners not only sealed
the transaction but also led to the sale and purchase of (3) additional
Porsches that my buyer and friends in Central NY became involved
in. I have been introduced to many high powered auto brokers as
President of the Porsche Club in Central NY and have kept my opinions
to myself as a conflict of interest may develop as President. Let
me assure you that I endorse Brian 100% and have written up in our
newsletter to the membership my endorsement of him. If you have
any questions on his capabilities to handle your projects call me and
I'll discuss them with you."

just wanted
to thank you for making the purchase of the Ferrari enjoyable. I
appreciate your professionalism as well as the transport
companies. Best of luck on your new purchase and continued
success."

"I
thought I
would drop a quick line on my experience with Brian Buxton. I had
called him 3 weeks ago looking for a nice 928 for my mother. He
happened to have an 85 928S. He e-mailed pictures and we agreed
on a price and made a deal. I arranged to fly into Evansville, he
picked me up and took me to the car with everything completed and I was
on my way. For those of you that are looking for any type of car
Brian deals with I highly recommend him. This transaction was
extremely smooth and effortless. Buxton and his place of business
is professional and easy to work with. I had an easier time with
this deal than I have ever had with any place locally. So with
that I would like to thank Brian publicly for a job well done."

Stradale
"I
wanted to
express my complete satisfaction, and thank you for your level of
professionalism on my recent search for a 1989 Porsche Speedster.
As you are aware, my list of requirements for this car was challenging
to say the least. Since there were only 400 Speedsters imported
into the US, how many red/black cars with every option available with
under 10,000 miles could there be!
Much
to my
surprise you located my car in Ohio inside of two days and indicated
that you would be willing to drive seven hours round trip to inspect
the car. Although the price was high, the car had everything I
wanted. I subsequently gave you permission to spend my $60,000 if
the car met my criteria, and it did.
By
the time I
flew out to Indiana from New Jersey 10 days later to inspect the car,
my level of anxiety had increased significantly. It was the first
time that I had bought a car sight unseen. Immediately upon
inspection of the car it became apparent to me that the car was exactly
as you promised - perfect in every way.
Every
detail
of the transaction was highly thought out, and further relieved my
concerns. You took substantial time to understand my requirements
in a courteous and complete manner and subsequently made a lifetime
customer out of me...
Please
feel
free to use this letter as a personal recommendation from me - or
better yet, have prospective customers call me directly if they choose
... thanks again ..."
Dennis Kao, 1990
Porsche 928GT
"I
purchased a
1990 Porsche 928GT through Mr. Brian Buxton of Buxton
Motorsports. I found Mr. Buxton to be a trustworthy partner in
finding a car of my liking.
After
several
months of searching for a suitable car in my area, I chose to use Mr.
Buxton's car location service because he had been highly recommended by
several people on the Porsche 928 internet mailing list. In my
buying experience, I found there are many variables when dealing with
used Porsches and their owners. However, by using Mr. Buxton's
service I was able to eliminate one of the unknowns because I could
trust the person I was dealing with. He was entirely familiar
with the unique characteristics of 928's and in the end found a car
with the options and color I wanted. I would not hesitate to use
his service."
Warren Sander,
1989 Porsche
928GT
"Dear
Brian:
I
just wanted
to take a moment to thank you for finding me my 1989 928GT.
Though I was hesitant about buying the Porsche without seeing it, you
clearly did not steer me wrong. The car is in great shape and it
has been a thrilling month since I have owned it.
As
I have
mentioned, I will not hesitate to refer my friends to you in the
future. Again, thank you for your services and I wish you much
success with your business."
Bill
Coleman,
1987 Porsche 928S4,
"Late
summer I
started seriously looking for a Porsche 928. I was having little
luck finding anything on my own when I was contacted by Brian
Buxton. Brian and I discussed what I was looking for, and within
a week I had a list of several cars which fit my criteria. One
car sounded especially interesting, and Brian made many calls to
investigate the cars history and condition. Satisfied that this
car was worth seeing, Brian set up an appointment, which resulted in my
purchasing the car.
I
am very
happy with the service provided by Brian. I feel that if it were
not for him, I would either still be be searching , or would have paid
more for a lesser quality car."
