Private Collection Motors - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My purchase experience was great. It's the additional expenses of repairs that I have had to make out of pocket that has made the whole experience a nightmare! I was told by a sales rep that the price of their cars were higher because of the conditioning. my check engine light came on during the first 500 miles and had been on until today, 9/4/25. The car was delivered to me the 2nd or 3rd week of January 2025. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have paid over $8,000 in repairs from a mechanic who has over 15 years of experience working on Bentle's. The dealership sent a check for $1,400. My advise would be to purchase from a dealership with a warranty. This is my first and will probably be my last buying experience with Private Collection Motors! This has been a nightmare of an experience! Mr. Disappointed read more

I purchased a 2005 SL65 with what was stated to have a RENNtech 2 performance package (by my sales representative Ali (I also have a list of what is included in the RENNtech 2 performance package in writing from him by email)). The car when purchased (unknown to me) was missing several parts of the RENNtech 2 package, which was not disclosed to me, that cost several thousand dollars to bring the car up to how it was represented. The very next morning when I woke up excited to go for a drive in my car I could not. The drivers side front wheel suspension had failed and the car could not be driven. The passenger side rear tire had lost so much air due to what turned out to be a cracked rim was at only 18 PSI. I immediately had the car looked at and the problems were outlined as preexisting conditions that any competent dealer should have been aware of and repaired (they had the car in their possession for two months) before the sale to me. This occurred in less than the one day I owned the car and supposedly not ever in the two months it was in their possession? I will upload the photos I have for these preexisting problems. I asked Ali (my salesperson) before I agreed to purchase the car if PCM had inspected the car (this influenced my decision on a secondary inspection). He said yes, it was inspected by a third party mechanic they have trust and confidence in (again in writing from Ali) and the only thing that they found at fault with the car was the need to replace the two front tires which he said was done. I have spent several thousand dollars repairing some of the problems with the car, which I am told should have been apparent to any competent mechanic. I am told I have several thousand dollars more to spend to get other things corrected. There is so much more but I will ad to this in a later post and I will download supporting information. WARNING, WARNING, WARNING,WARNING, WARNING, WARNING !!!!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM PRIVATE COLLECTION MOTORS!!!!!! read more

Certainly one of the best experiences I've ever had shopping for and purchasing a vehicle. I have purchased dozens of cars in my lifetime, and I usually know far more about the car. I'm looking at than the sales representative. Ali was a refreshing exception to that rule. He was all information, and no pressure, which is far more persuasive than any sales pitch. We were looking at several cars, and his knowledge of the history and condition of each vehicle was very impressive. I give the highest marks, and I'm actually hoping I'm in the market for another "High-end" vehicle so that I can work with him again. I highly recommend contacting Ali and Private Collection Motors if you're in the market for a luxury or performance vehicle. read more

This review is for Timothy Marfori at Private Collection. Tim was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We looked at a 997.2 Carerra, 991.1 Carerra S and a 991.2 Carerra, Tim knew about all of them. What most impressed me about Tim was his overall demeanor, ability to connect on a personal level and not be a "used car salesman". During one of the test drives we talked about his recent trip to Italy and he took the time afterwards to send me some places he recommended for my wife and I's upcoming trip. I will definitely be going back, specifically because of the experience I had with Tim! read more

I have purchased two cars from PCM and both were great experiences. Dave Harrison cares about his customers and his team are awesome to deal with. I found they go above and beyond to respond quickly to inquiries, working hard to put a fair deal together. The world of high-end used cars is not for everyone - each car has a unique journey and story. I understand this and appreciate the transparency that PCM has for each car - they're a great partner if you're in the market. I'm glad PCM is in business, and I like the way they do business. I would not hesitate to purchase a 3rd car from them. read more

I didn't end up buying a car from Private Collection Motors but wanted to leave a review for the great customer service we received from Tim. From the start, he communicated promptly and courteously, answering initial questions and making an appointment for us to see the vehicle we found online. When we saw the vehicle in person, I quickly realized it was too much car for me. Tim still let me sit in it for a while and take it for a test drive. We talked about what other vehicles might be a better fit and he then gave us a tour of the entire facility, let us look at some other vehicles while giving us really great recommendations for a nearby mechanic. Never was he impatient or salesman-y. I'm so glad we took the chance and made the appointment to go to Private Collection Motors rather than be intimidated by their impressive inventory nor deterred by previous experiences with cringy salesmen elsewhere. The collection of cars are under great care here but the greatest asset is their salesman, Tim. We are finally at a point in life where we want to add a fun and luxurious car to our household and Tim has been a great resource in this journey. Thank you! read more

Extreme Disappointment with PRIVATE COLLECTION MOTORS - Buyer Beware Review: In August 2024, we purchased a 1997 Rolls Royce Silver Spur from PRIVATE COLLECTION MOTORS of Costa Mesa. The experience was a nightmare. Despite having an inspection report from O'GARA COACH BEVERLY HILLS dated April 29, 2024, stating the vehicle was in good condition with no major problems, our experience is otherwise. On our very first drive, we noticed the rear shocks needed replacement, and leaked two different fluids on our garage floor. Concerned, the car went to Desert European Motorcars of Rancho Mirage. Their inspection revealed the rear gas shocks were empty and required replacement. More alarmingly, they found a spark occurring from a spark plug wire to the engine block, which was a fire hazard. The repairs at Desert European Motorcars was over $8,000. Some issues were not addressed due to the unavailability of original parts, leading to an additional $4,000 with a local Rolls Royce certified mechanic. In total, we spent over $12,000 in repairs, hoping for an operational vehicle. Unfortunately, problems did not end there. A week later, the car had a new issue: it would start, but cut off when the key moved from "start" to "run," leaving us stranded on multiple occasions over the next three weeks. Today, the car is back in the garage. Our trust in PRIVATE COLLECTION MOTORS and inspection from O'GARA COACH BEVERLY HILLS is non-existent. This is not our first Rolls Royce, but the biggest disappointment we ever experienced with a vehicle purchase. Potential buyers should exercise extreme caution. Do not rely on inspection reports or assurances about a vehicle's condition from these vendors. BUYER BEWARE! read more

I don't buy cars very often so I may not have much experience to compare with, but my experience at Private Collection Motors was definitely 5 stars. I had been looking for a 2007-2014 Mercedes CL600 for a while, then I found a 2009 at PCM. The price they were asking was at the high end of the market for these cars but based on the pictures, it seemed to be in really good condition. When I went to see it in person, the car looked just as good as in the pictures. This was the ONLY car I looked at that did not disappoint in person. Timothy was great. No pressure, but he was prompt in addressing all the questions and concerns I had. He seemed willing to do whatever it took to be sure I was comfortable with the condition of the car. I had them take it to a nearby shop that specializes in high end cars (although not Mercedes specifically) for a PPI. I saw for myself that the interior and exterior of the car were in excellent shape, and the shop said the car was in pretty much the best mechanical condition possible for a 16-year-old car and sent plenty of pictures to prove it. A week or so after I test drove it they lowered the price, to precisely what I thought was fair. I had my financing already, and the paperwork went very smoothly. It took almost a month from my first inquiry until I picked up the car, I was never rushed or pressured in any way. Overall, the entire process was about as pleasant as possible. I'm not sure what all the one-star reviews are about, because my experience was nothing like what they describe. PCM seems to specialize in relatively rare and/or low mileage cars and they seem to know what they have, so they seem willing to wait for the right buyer for each car. I guess some people don't like that approach. I was ready to negotiate on the price a little, but they must have seen where the market was going on these and just lowered the price before I even said anything . Some people complained about problems with and/or the condition of the cars, but you must realize that they sell USED cars. They may be higher end cars, but they are still USED. You must do your due diligence when buying any used car, but even more so with these kinds of cars. The only other car I have purchased in the last 10 years was a 2013 Lexus LS460 from a dealer of used 'mid-level cars' (no Civics or Corollas, but nothing over $50K either). This was a few months ago. The experience there was not 'bad' (and the car was and still is great), but the purchase process was not as pleasant of an experience as I had at PCM. It is hard to explain other than to say again that Private Collection Motors is highly recommended. read more

I'll preface this review by saying this is strictly from my perspective and I can't vouche for anyone else's experience. Im speaking on my experience with one employee specifically who has the leverage and ability to make things right and be ethical- Judith Barrera I inquired about a 2012 Fisker Karma. The beauty of it is I already owned one before..I knew exactly what to ask before hand. Daniel, their sales guy was as helpful as he could be and I appreciate him trying to get the info I asked about. They couldn't give me details on specifics at the time of inquiry..and would constantly refer to the "carfax" report. First Fail. Nowwwww we can talk about price. We originally agreed to a price OTD INCLUDING shipping and a technician check up at the local Karma facility. I was VERY happy about that.. I'm thinking it's allll good right? Welp...a few hrs after confirming the original deal, I get a call and they "can't" agree to pay for a technician (due to CA Law apparently) and I as the prospective buyer would have to pay it outta pocket. Second fail. So now I have my CU ready to fund and they can't send the car till payment is received and they are taking forever to send Reg on their end to complete the transaction. Now in good faith, they ship the car to me anyways...and ya know what. I appreciate that. I really do. That's dope. That's why you get 1 star Now for the not so dope- As soon as I pick up the car from the courier...like as soon as I turn it on, the Navi DOES NOT work. All the other features do. But the Navi is down. So is this why you couldn't get a technician to look it over? cuz you knew or suspected something was wrong? Usually when you sell a car...you "advertise" heated Seats, AC, Bluetooth, navigation, yada yada. And you know what- Navigation WAS offered per their online advertisement. Not one time did they say or mention anything wrong with it..and it's very unlikely that it worked before it left the showroom and when I received it, it "magically stopped". So I immediately took it to my official Fisker technician in the Bay Area "Pat's Garage". Upon reviewing and scanning, it's more than a software update (approx $3-500) to POTENTIALLY get it back working. It's a 50/50 shot it'll work. If it doesn't it's a $2500 job (not including labor). So I reach out and Judith responds. I can tell she's aggravated as she feels she did me a favor- sold it at asking price including shipping, shipping without receipt of payment, etc.. I ask for her to make it right...either pay to have the actual work done to repair orrrrr reduce my loan by the cost amount- cuz I'll pay for it...so it can be AS ADVERTISED. She told me it wasn't a "safety issue" and they've already made enough provisions to accommodate me apparently. ? Her only recourse was to pick up the car and cancel the transaction cuz apparently I was on her last nerve ensuring I was being sold a car AS ADVERTISED. She hung up quick and fast. Third fail. Really? That's what we're doing? My advice would be to ask specific questions on their cars prior to buying. It may sound rudimentary but asking does the power windows work...the power seat...the AC..the Navi....and all that. And actually test Them prior to purchase. Sounds petty...but like Judith says "if it's not a safety issue" ? I'm not saying their bad people. I'm not saying they haven't sold cars smoothly And everything went good with other clients. I see they have plenty of top notch reviews. Good for you. But not offering concessions for a problem that was clearly misinterpreted cuz it WAS advertised as "included or working" and it's NOT....welllllllll...that's the kind of experience I had with them. I'm not saying the customer is always right. But in this instance, I definitely WASNT wrong Again. Daniel...Great job bro. Judith. Check yourself please! Be honest and ethical in the future!! read more

I bought a used 2017 M3 a few year back from Timothy. I loved the M3. It was in great condition and never had any mechanical issues the 3 years I drove it. Timothy reached out a few days ago wanting to see if I wanted to sell it cause he had a buyer for it. He gave me a great price above carmax. An offer I couldn't refuse. I just want to say it was easy and smooth working with Timothy and Judy in finance. They definitely went above and beyond to make sure their clients are satisfied. I'll most likely be getting my next luxury vehicle from this establishment. Thanks guys and see you soon read more

Went into private collection motors with my mom to look at cars before dinner. The sales guy was super nice and took the time to show us around even though we were not looking to purchase that day. We ended up talking to Judy the finance manager to get a better idea of the loan process and she was extremely helpful and nice. We will definitely be back to purchase a car through them. read more

I've been a car collector for 40 years and buy and sell a good number of cars every year from dealers and collectors all around the country. I wanted a quality DD for my wife and found a Bentley at PCM that was in extraordinary condition. The pricing agreed upon for the Bentley and their offer for my 2018 Mercedes G63 trade-in were both fair and we concluded a sale with no hassle or issues. The quality and selection of their cars were among the better I've seen. Clearly they are selective about their choice of vehicles to offer. Timothy and his team were extremely professional and easy to work with. I expect to work with them again. Highly recommend. read more

Dave at Private Collection Motors was wonderful to deal with. Stayed on top of things, arranged transport and streamlined the entire process. Love my car and love Private Motors. I'll be back read more

They're selling cars with fake vins Reversed mileages and fake Carfax Horrible customer service Was ready to buy a Mercedes S 63 AMG cash I stood inside the dealership after 25 minutes of someone coming out to attend to me. They started blasting heavy metal over the intercom I asked him to turn it down because I was turned off when I enter the dealership they told me the Ken company policy OK fair enough I wanted to negotiate the price as it's a used car and I'm paying cash it is only fair to negotiate a little bit They told me they will reduce the price by $150 I asked to meet with the owner or the manager the sales person left for 45 minutes and came back and told me the owners in a conference call the manager is busy Take it or leave it Worst car experience of my Life save yourself the unnecessary headache of finding this crappy dealership read more

I purchase a new (to me) Tesla model S 85 with every available option and plenty of warranty left for about $6500 less than Tesla wanted for the same car on their Pre owned web site. This was a big purchase for me, so I did A LOT of research and these guys had a much better selection and price than anyone, including Auto Nation and Tesla. I worked with Arber and he's as good as it gets. I really felt like he was trying to help the entire time. No pressure ever. I checked and rechecked everything he told me, and it all came back as accurate. A few things seemed too good to be true, ie, they [Tesla] has a mobile warranty department that will fix most things for $100. Totally true. When Arber knew the answer to my questions, he answered, but when he didn't, he got the answer. I couldn't be happier with the entire process. I'll definitely be back. read more

Whatever you do, do not try to use this business, so UNPROFESSIONAL., especially a person named ROSS, he calls you makes you feel that you are special, I tried in vain to call him, or text him, they give you so many different numbers, this place is a Joke, I really wanted to buy a Mercedes from their advertised price, but I know it's all just a game to them. I needed a car by today, I ended up buying it from another dealer who responded quickly & Professional. With one number to call. I paid extra but worth it because they were good to me. I am looking for my wife a G wagon next, this place has one & if they were half good I would buy from them. Now I wouldn't buy it from them because this guy Ross thinks he is a salesman. B.S. So if you want to be upset & ignored call this place, because they will do that to you. read more

Bait and switch company .. Just bought a car from them ..Bought a car based on options on the car that they had on the internet .I had realized the options were not on the car after I had been driving it for a couple hours .. They told me I should of confirmed those opions and it's my fault .. Before I left I had let them know What I wanted fixed confirmed it with the original salesman who took pics of it and said he will take care of it ..They also let me leave without proper registration on the car .. how I know this is I got pulled over and the officer stated that the dealer should of giving out paper plates .. like I explained to them they said they sell 100s of cars like this and never had a problem .. Would never recommend this Company complete BAIT ANd SWITCH company .. Then they over charged me for registration gave me a check then took it back without replacing it .. when the registration should be the same no difference ... But again it's my fault should of checked everything out .. How about your fault for putting options on your website !!!!!!!Thats not on a car !!!!!!!!.. B.B.B will hear from me regarding how shady this company is !!.. They also promised me a complete detail .. but just ended up taking to a car wash .. .. when I moved the driver seat back to my original position completely dirty which I have pics ... they tryed to photo copy my registration and stick it across the license plate with expired tags and said they have done this before and didn't have problems which I have photos and videos of everything...

Phil and Timothy took wonderful care of me on a recent purchase of a low mileage Range Rover. Phil began, got sidelined by getting married (yeah some nerve, huh!) and Timothy picked up right where Phil left off. Long distance purchase (my first time doing that!) and they just handled all the the logistics, from getting it into a nearby RR shop for a pre inspect, to arranging the perfect (and inexpensive) shipping from LA to the PNW. Altogether, it was just a great experience. Thanks guys for keeping you eyes open for a Nara Bronze RR with low mileage, couldn't be happier. Bob J Seattle read more

BENTLEY BUYER BEWARE!!! This dealership is known for selling cars that have major problems (look negative reviews) and lying to you about them. Check the Better Business Bureau for the last complaints. I traded in my 2004 Bentley Continental, they offered me $23,000 saying it had 6 previous owners and they'd have to sell it at auction to make any money. 2 weeks later they have it on their website for $39,000. $16,000 profit not bad. However, my problem is with the car I purchased through them, a 2012 Bentley. The interior lights did not work and cost $550 for repair even though the disclosures showed they worked! The mechanic stated the lights had not worked for a while, the entire interior light system was burned out and had to remove the entire headliner to repair them. The trunk did not shut properly but I was told, verbally AND in writing, that it was because the car was not charged completely and it would shut properly after being charged. This was a FLAT OUT LIE since Bentley Mechanic said it had NOTHING to do with the car being charged and it is a separate motor all together. This is a $2500 repair. Also, we were told that the Bluetooth could be connected, they even sent me an email showing me how to do it. It never worked. They then told me to come down and they would connect it for me, instead we went to Bentley Newport Beach and they said it could not connect unless a $1500 upgrade was done. 2012 Bentleys do not connect with new iPhones. They purposely misled me into thinking all of these items were working. When trying to discuss this with the manager Judy, she went off telling me HOW DARE I TALK OVER HER and refused to listen to us at all. I'm sure she is going to comment ad say other lie. At this point he doesn't matter we are now working with a reputable law firm and we are working on paperwork for court. They'll be your best friend until they get your money, then...beware! It's time for them to stop take advantage to honest clients. read more

Recently bought Tesla from these guys, and I'm very happy and pleased by their service. Between rich + Elliott, they've been very thorough with the whole process. The person in accounting/finance department ( forgot her name ) but she was very professional and went over every pages of agreement and documents I was signing off. During the test drive, they went over all the specs for the car, battery degradation, built-date, Carfax details and other list I've requested to go over before the purchase. Out of all the car dealership I've been in contact and been in communication for a negotiation, Elliott has been the most patient and understanding of my business schedule + arrangement for the car. If you are looking for luxury used car in good condition, I definitely recommend this place!! They've got by far the best collection/curation of used luxury car! read more

Thank you so much for the great service. We love the car and will certainly be back! Thanks Elliott and Rich for the AMAZING service! I buy a lot of cars throughout the year and have been to dozens of dealers and let me start off by saying I rarely leave reviews. This is the first review I leave for a dealer. They don't treat you differently based on the dollar amount of the car you were purchasing. I was treated just as equal as somebody purchasing a six-figure car from here. They were very attentive, honest, we're not pushy & did not pressure us. All in all you will not be disappointed purchasing a car at this dealer and more than anything this was a valued experience that did not feel like I'm just here to buy a car you . You will be taken care of here hands down thanks again Elliot and Rich ! read more

Great dealership. Very responsive. Tim was great to work with. Would definitely recommend buying or selling your high end car to them.

Flew in from the SF Bay area to buy a Porsche. Although no fancy showroom, just a large warehouse, they delivered. They valued my time, answered my questions and had all their paperwork in order prior to my arrival as asked. The vehicle is everything they stated it was with carfax included. Drove it 6.5 hrs back home without a glitch and it remains flawless, without any bugs or motor problems. Was honestly very pensive about them from lack of knowledge, but they really came through. Would gladly deal with them again. read more

Timothy, Ashley and Judy at PCM are simply superb, extremely efficient and really define what the car buying experience should be. In a world of franchise dealers by contrast here you have a niche, independent preowned dealership that provides exemplary service, setting the bar at a level others can only aspire to. For context, I was actively looking for a smaller commuter car for my wife, a teacher that would return not only very good gas mileage, but was also fun to drive. The descriptive dollar vs. thrills equation we honed in on a Fiat Abarth, not for everyone, but dollar for dollar offers, well as Jeremy Clarkson best describes as a "mini Lamborghini". I had read in advance the Yelp reviews on PCM as a prelude to furthering my inquiries, and Timothy's as described were all are first class. Having phoned in advance, we set up a time on Saturday morning to view, Timothy was waiting our arrival, professional, approachable, and the entire experience exuded a confidence that left you feeling both relaxed, and confident in doing business with both Timothy, and PCM. Having travelled a distance to PCM and rather than wait around Timothy proffered that they could complete all of the paperwork and arrange for delivery of the car to Santa Barbara. In consort with Ashley, and Judy preparing the requisite paperwork for overnight delivery by FedEx, in pivoting all of the signed paperwork back by return the Abarth was delivered on our driveway first thing on Wednesday morning, ahead of our trip leaving on Thursday. A truly defining experience, when the mindset is driven by a can do attitude, remarkable as can be the outcome. I can honestly say, only PCM could have achieved this, remarkably efficient, from test drive, to paperwork, to update pictures of the Abarth on the delivery truck, to its ultimate delivery, simply flawless. In summary, their is no substitute for old school integrity, from the outset proffering what can be accomplished, setting expectations on what to expect, and delivering in a both a metaphorical and literal sense. We are delighted and indebted to Timothy, and the PCM team for all that they did to make this a wonderful, enjoyable buying experience. read more

Just bought a car from these guys. I dealt with the sales guy, Elliott from the offset. He made the whole buying process smooth. Completely professional, friendly and attentive. I never got any of the cheesy used car sales pitch (which I really apprciate). These guys sell some top $ cars (mine, not so much!), however I was treated as if I were buying a 200k Ferrari. The car I bought was presented impeccably, the paperwork process was painless and all in all, one of the better car buying experiences I've had. read more

Thank you to everyone at Private Collection Motors for my 2015 Mercedes C300! The car is amazing and I am loving it! I bought my car about 3 months ago and am very happy with my purchase. I filled out a credit application online and they got me approved pretty quick. Judy got me a really good rate and she even beat my own banks rate. I went down after work and they had all of my paperwork ready for me to sign so I was out of there really quick. The car was detailed and ready for me to take home. Thank you to my salesman Rich for following up with me and keeping me informed the entire way. Rich is super knowledgeable about the cars he is selling. The car looked exactly as it did in the photos. Thank you again to everyone there for showing me great customer service. I definitely recommend this dealership. read more

I came in today to see a Range Rover. Wasn't expecting the experience I got- very friendly, laid back, no-pressure salesmen who are straightforward and try to work with you as best they can. I was there for a few hours, left and came back to purchase. I spoke with Perdo and Alex, both great guys. My paperwork was handled by another female staff member who had the same laid back but on 'top of her job' vibe. I dug the energy and not only fell in love with the range, but I WANTED to buy from them. The lot is not your typical busy, bustling car lot. It's private, intimate and friendly. I really enjoyed that too. I was offered coffee, water (which I think I drank a gallon of) and donuts. While waiting for my paperwork to process, I had a great conversation with a young expecting mom while her significant other was looking at a car. She was adorable and also had great energy.
