(reposting from my husbands review) I wanted to do something special for my wife at the conclusion of the year (2018). The holiday season is extra special for our family not only do we have all of the holidays, my birthday, but we also have our anniversary just after the new year and my wife just graduated from Penn State or at least completed all of her classes for her degree. So, it was indeed a special time of the year for her. My wife's dad always had a Z car when she was growing up and when the Z32 model came out in the early 90s she wanted one but was never able to get one and it became her dream car. So, I thought it would be a great idea to find one and buy it for her. Which brings me to Full Throttle Auto Sales, after hours, days, weeks of searching and looking at junk 300zx from the early 90s that should be towed to the junk yard, I found one reasonably priced at Full Throttle Auto Sales. I sent Jim an email and asked the basics questions and was able to schedule a time to talk to him over the phone. I told him my story and my requirements around acquiring a car. Jim is easy to talk to, down to earth, not pushy, and he went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable about the car. We drove up to Morgan Hill and meet him in the early morning. He greeted us with a smile and gave us space to crawl over the car and tossed us the keys and told us to take it around the block and to come get him if we had any questions. We made up our minds and the process to purchase started. Normally buying a car makes me want to tear my eyes out. But the hardest part of this process was making the decision to buy a 30-year-old car with no SS or Z28 badge on the grill... (Maybe next time Jim) But, hey the car is for my wife not me and she loves it. Thirty maybe forty-five minutes later we were done and on our way back home. Jim was accommodating, he went the extra mile to make us happy with the purchase, and he made the paperwork process as painless as possible and he has since followed up to make sure that we are enjoying the addition to our family. I recommend Full Throttle Auto Sales to anyone looking for a specialty car, hot rod, or anything out of the ordinary. Their inventory is impressive, their staff is knowable about cars (which I believe is rare), If they don't have it in stock I bet Jim can find it and at a reasonable price. Full Throttle Auto Sales' show room is well organized with lots to see that will catch your attention and spark fun stories and exciting opportunities for some lucky buyer! The most important thing, is that their facility is well maintained and very clean and decorated. The attention to detail is evident simply by looking around the facility. Thank you to Jim and the staff at Full Throttle Auto Sales for making this 1990 300zx Twin Turbo an extra special gift and a dream come true! read more

I LOVE MY NEW CAR! What a great experience I had buying my Audi Q5 from Jim at Full Throttle Auto Sales. It was easy, super simple buying my car. I contacted Jim at Full Throttle, spoke with him about what I wanted and needed in a car for my move to Truckee (So much snow). I found Jim to be very courteous, trustworthy and professional. All I had to do was tell Jim what model car, miles I expected for the price I wanted to spend and WALA! just like that I had my car, it only took 2 days for him to find the car I wanted and another 3 days for it to arrive. It was so awesome that I didn't have to go the traditional "car sales" route. Jim was so low key, no hard sale like you get from a car lot. (who even does that anymore?) I went to San Jose to sign the paperwork, and that was super simple as well. I finished the paperwork in about 15 minutes, Jim showed me everything I needed o know about my Audi, he opened the door and off I went. I would HIGHLY recommend going this route and purchasing your next car with Jim at Full Throttle Auto Sales, Quick and Painless and at a great price, I mean GREAT PRICE. If your looking for that unique or specialty car than this will definitely be the place for you to go. It's to bad there are only 5 STARS! Thank you Jim! read more

Sometimes life offers its own challenges. So it was with me. I knew the make of car and preferred year I wanted. The search took several months but eventually I found exactly what I was looking for. The issue was it lived in California. I live in England, several thousand miles away! Having made contact with Full Throttle, I started asking questions. The answers and information travelling back the seven thousand miles was informative and professional. Dealing with Jim, at this distance, was like having him next to me in the showroom. The honesty and willingness to answer any simple question was nothing short of brilliant! I am now awaiting my "grand old lady", a 1958 Cadillac, to arrive in the United Kingdom. I have not spoken to Jim throughout this purchase. We have only communicated by email, but can I make an observation? I wouldn't hesitate in dealing with Jim again! It is no surprise to me, when looking at his reviews, he achieves five stars. Thank you Jim for your terrific help. The integrity shown and the positivity that dealing with you brings. It was a pleasure to do business with you!! Michael Bowden. Nottingham England. read more

I was a bit sceptic over buying an expensive exotic car on the opposite coast from where I live and not being able to see the car in person, but Jim at Full Throttle Garage was extremely helpful. He took the time to disclose everything about the car in detail and provided extremely detailed photos and videos. Anything that I requested he was able to provide in an honest and professional manner. He was also extremely knowledgeable with providing details about getting a loan through JJ Best Bank. The transaction could not have been any easier including the paperwork, since he deals with that bank all the time. Jim also provided an excellent enclosed car transporter to delivery my car. I felt extremely comfortable knowing that the car was going to be transported coast to coast in the same truck it was put in and with the same driver. Trust me no one wants anyone taking a joy ride in a rare 750 horsepower car. The car arrived covered and pampered without an ounce of dust on it in a very timely manner. If I am in the market for another investment I will definitely be looking at Full Throttle Garage again! read more

I cannot thank Jim at Full Throttle Auto Sales enough for helping me find my dream car!! I'd been eyeing the Acura RDX for years, so once I was in the market for a new car I knew I had to get one. There was a list of features that were non-negotiable for me, and finding an Acura RDX that met this criteria proved to be very challenging. However, Jim diligently researched until he found one that checked off all the boxes on my detailed list. From there, Jim negotiated an unbelievable deal, and helped research trade-in costs for my then existing car. The day of purchase was seamless. I showed up, signed my paperwork, and drove off in my new car. Jim's passion and knowledge of cars makes the buying process fun and efficient. So whether you are looking for a specific car, need help negotiating, or just don't want to deal with the hassle, Jim is your guy! I'll definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends. read more

The Story of my Experience with Full Throttle was nothing less than a fairytale come true. My Car was very highly modified with extremely high end parts. It was both Beauty and the Beast.  It was thought of by Purest as an Abomination, a Beast. And by Import Car Fans and the Young at Heart, a One of a kind Beauty. Normal avenue that most people sell cars never worked for me over the past years. It was impossible for me to find the perfect match of someone who could appreciate this car and be able to afford to purchase it. So meeting Jim was a God sent.  He has such amazing passion and knowledge of Imports and Exotic cars. And with his variety of sales methods, he was able to give my car, the buyer and me a Storybook ending. I will definitely sell my next car with Jim and Full Throttle and recommend any of my friends and family with exotic cars to do the same. My Car was a 1991 Acura NSX. Thanks Jim!! read more

Jim and his team just completed the restoration of my 1966 convertible mustang! She has been garaged for the last decade so they had to come grab it from my house and give me the full meal deal just to get her running again - that 289 is purring now! Once the mechanical stuff was complete we started having fun by adding disc brakes, sweet wheels/tires and a blue tooth stereo. The entire experience was very collaborative and Jim's engagement in the project was outstanding. He listened to my requests, offered suggestions, repaired the minor and obvious stuff and he executed an exceptional game plan. I highly recommend Full Throttle Garage to anyone interested in having a little fun while restoring their classic. Cheers, Troy read more

Found Jim's on the ad and set up appointment next day to take a look of the E46 M3. When I arrive and meet Jim, right away you know Jim is a up front CAR guy and he let me took my time to check the car as long as I needed. He has been very frank on the details and no push selling at all. Result is that I can not find a reason not to take the car on the spot and it was great deal. Finally I brought the car I plan to buy since 10 year ago. I definitely recommend to consult with Jim when you hunt for a car. Because you know he will hunt the car you want as for himself. I know I will call Jim up when I am ready for my 911. Thank you Jim. PS. All my car buddy said this M3 was a steal after they test drive^_^ read more

I purchased a 2014 SQ5 yesterday from Jim at Full Throttle Auto. Buying a car from Jim is an all around 1st class experience. Jim only deals with cars he has vetted himself and knows he can stand behind. This shows in his inventory and how he handles each sale personally, from beginning to the end. Price discussion was absolutely straight forward, no back and forth, let me talk to the manager, and other pressure sales tactics one expects when buying a car from a 'dealer'. Jim even picked me up at my home to finalize the paperwork and pick up the car! If you're looking for an no-hassle, headache free, and overall great car buying experience - look no further, Jim at Full Throttle Auto is your man. read more

Working with Jim at Full Throttle has been the best car buying and selling experience I have ever had. It is a top-notch operation and I will definitely be back for my next purchase. Jim helped me with two things. I had a fully cage EVO race car and was having difficulty selling it or trading it, Jim took the car in and found a great home for it. I was looking for a daily driver and Jim had the ultimate daily driver for me, a C450 AMG. The car is in pristine condition, has just the right number of mods and I am beyond excited about it. This was the best car buying and selling experience I have ever had and will definitely be using Full Throttle in the future. THANK YOU JIM! read more

JIM is AWESOME I had been looking a 2013 -2014 GT500 for almost 2 years trying to find the right car with certain options. Jim had the car. The car was better in person than expected. I live over 2hrs away from Full Throttle with limited time to make the trip. Jim made it easy for me with my schedule to meet him on a weekend to see and purchase the car. The car was presented with everything that I was looking for and in excellent condition. Detailed to a "T". Jim was honest and upfront with everything. The next time I am looking for a vehicle, Jim will be my first contact. Jim has stayed in contact to make sure everything has been great with the car. read more

First off, Jim has an amazing name! Lol! I have to say that this was by far the easiest vehicle purchase I have ever done. Jim didn't try to pressure me into the purchase at all. He aloud me to test drive and to decide on my own if it was something I wanted to go through with. After I purchased the 2010 Audi A4 Avant I took it to my local German Mechanic. They informed me the car was in excellent shape and there was nothing that needed done to the car. Jim obviously did an exceptional job at looking over the car before he purchased it and I reaped the reward when I purchased it. Thanks a lot Jim!! read more

I purchased a unique 2005 Aston Marin db9 from Full Throttle Garage and Jim Erickson. I couldn't be more satisfied with his knowledge and professionalism. Jim isn't the typical "car salesman". He is extremely honest and wants to ensure you're buying the right car! In addition, Jim arranged to have the Aston Martin shipped cross country (CA to PA) on time and without any concerns. Jim and his staff are the best. I strongly recommend Full Throttle Garage if you're looking for a special and reliable car! Jim Wasser Manalapan, New Jersey read more

Jim at Full Throttle is definitely and awesome guy to work with. When I first met Jim in person to see the car I was thinking about purchasing, I could tell he was a straight up guy. Very polite and definitely has a passion for what he does. Jim was quick to respond and address any questions and concerns I had during my buying process. I would definitely do business again with Jim at Full Throttle. Not only is the collection of cars top notch but it's his trustworthiness and customer service that earned my business. Thanks again, Jim! read more

Full Throttle Auto Sales is an excellent company and perfect for someone like me who wants to sell their car but doesn't want to deal with listing it online and showing it to strangers. Jim, the owner, was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about my Jeep and got a great sales price for me. He handled everything, from detailing my car to listing it and then working with the buyers to secure financing. I would 100% recommend Full Throttle Auti Sales to friends, family, and anyone looking for help to sell a vehicle. read more

I have been working with Jim at Full Throttle to find a great deal on a used sports car that would also be at home on the track. I have been impressed by his business. First of all, there is Jim himself. He is an approachable and straightforward person who loves cars. He is also enthusiastic about his work and very professional when it comes to the details. Second, I really think his facility is top notch! A great place to inspect your potential buys and eventual new vehicle. read more

I was in the market for a used vehicle and was recommended Full Throttle to help me with my search. I had a specific car in mind and was given several options that they had researched. I have a very busy work schedule so this was a huge help. I recommend Full Throttle if you are looking for a new or used vehicle. They were professional and have access to a wide range of cars from dealerships, private sellers, and auto auctions that one might not find in their own search. read more

What a totally awesome experience it was buying a car from here! I have purchased over a dozen cars and this has by far been the most pleasurable experience I have ever had! Jim had a quick response time and was very knowledgeable when answering anything I asked him. This truly is the way all car buying experiences should be. You can tell when someone truly enjoys their job, it equals happy, satisfied customers!!! Thanks for the awesome, all American ride. Cheers! read more

Talked to Jim last week about my dream car they had just posted. I'm now in the process of purchasing it. I couldn't be more excited and relieved about how awesome this experience has been. Being on the complete opposite side of the country makes you nervous but he's been up front, honest and very open about the car. The pictures are incredible but I cannot wait to see this R32 show up in my driveway. It's been a pipe dream for over 10 years. Thank you so much! read more
