As someone thoroughly fascinated by automobiles I am always excited to meet others who lives burn with a similar passion. When I first walked through the doors of Maharaja Motors I was greeted by an impressive collection of quality vehicles both exquisite and mundane. Soon afterwards I met Sonny, Harry and Caroline each of which made me feel more like a friend instead of a customer. This family run business understands the value of caring for one another. I found myself in Maharaja Motors for no apparent reason on that day other than to look at and talk cars. After speaking with Sonny for over an hour on my first visit I learned that not only did he maintain an impressive array of vehicles but that he was also very well versed on their specific functions and concerns. I remember leaving the dealership that day feeling baffled that I never once felt pressured to buy a vehicle or even test one out. That was over two years and dozens of visits ago. Since then, it is my absolute privilege to say that I have bought two cars from Sonny, Harry, and Caroline and I could not be happier.
The first car that I purchased from Maharaja Motors was a Porsche Boxster. As someone who sought balance, enthusiasm, and composure from a vehicle this model interested me. After searching for perspective Boxsters online I tested three (not including the one from Maharaja) and for one reason or another; price, compounding issues, or condition I passed on all of them. After mentioning this to Sonny I learn that he has a Boxster that he would sell to me. On first impression the car looks incredible with gorgeous paint, complete interior, and sound drivetrain. What impressed me the most however was the invoice that I received back from its pre-purchase inspection. The only noted defects were a burned out taillight bulb (fixed) and a blown front trunk strut (common). As I had brought two of the three other Boxsters to this same mechanic for a pre purchase inspection the difference in their qualities was apparent. Both of the other two Boxsters carried with them a laundry list of DIY or expensive shop visits, Sonny's car however needed only a taillight bulb, which I replaced. The hood struts were replaced by Sonny himself. When negotiating the price Maharaja was both very fair and patient. Ensuring that I was happy and not simply wanting to push one more vehicle out of the dealership was what proved to me that these people actually care about their customers. After using this car as a daily driver for six months I only replaced the front brake pads and rotors and in return received an incredible and pure driving experience.
When it was time to get a new car Sonny, Harry, and Caroline were exactly as forthcoming and friendly as they were before. This next car however a Porsche 911 needed a new transaxle, I also wanted a new clutch, IMS, and RMS completed with the job. I wasn't expecting all of my concerns to be addressed simply reflected on the price but Sonny took it one step further. Not only did Sonny personally see that each of the aforementioned components were obtained but also properly installed. After trading in my Boxster (for a very reasonable amount) Sonny began to put in an incredible amount of effort on my behalf to properly complete my 911. I will never forget the day in which the car of my dreams was finally ready for me to turn the key and enjoy. On the night of my 21st birthday I thought I would drop by and check on the progress. Sonny did not know that it was my birthday but I found my car together and running. It was at that moment I began to see Maharaja Motors as family instead of your run of the mill car dealership. After finalizing the deal I could not have been happier in terms of price and value. I also learned that he got a transaxle with a limited slip differential and short throw shifter installed for me as well.
I am absolutely confident that Maharaja Motors is dedicated to their customers and treats them as family. I would recommend a visit to Maharaja Motors to anyone interested in vehicles. Based upon the quality of the people I met at Maharaja Motors I have utmost confidence in the vehicles they sell as well. I must also include that my 911 has required nothing aside from usual oil and coolant changes in the last six months. Maharaja has helped me to drive the car of my dreams, affordably, confidently, and daily and they can for you as well.
