Sunshine Auto Mall

My experience with Bilal and Sunshine Auto Mall was a most pleasant one. He was professional, up front and made a vehicle purchase go seamlessly. Being an affiliate with USAA, it was a smooth process..from transferring plates, all paperwork and a prompt new registration delivered directly to email within days.

I’m a total car guy. I bought a nice late 60’s/early 80’s Porsche 911 Coupe from these guys online and had it shipped from Virginia to the west coast by their recommended transport company. One of the owners has a partnership dealership in VA but the main hub is in Florida. Looked at many 100’s of internet 911’s and Jaguar XKE’s before deciding on the Sunshine Auto Mall car. Was a bit reluctant about buying online even though I’d done it with many dealers in the past, but speaking with Patrick Mitchell a few times/pics/video walk-through of the car/texts and emails, and a good intro call with Balil in Florida helped. Friendly guys, not pushy in any way, I got the impression they like to sell to buyers who understand cars and that buying an old used car is not like buying a new $300,000 Porsche. They sell nice cars, very fair prices, and describe whether they run or not and show what areas might need attention. I wasn’t expecting a gem for just under $30K, and never have expected a gem when buying a used classic. I asked lots of questions before buying. Have owned dozens of classics and had them fixed up. Compared Sunshine’s price and condition to other 911’s that were similar or beat up looking. Good price for what I got and have driven it a few times since. Clean title too. Got it into a shop today for a tune-up and to start tweaking some stuff. Body is beautiful; car already getting lots of positive comments and thumbs up. I checked with a California dealer that I almost bought from first to check their several 911’s. Was a bit surprised when they said that all of their 911’s under $30K were not running. Still, even their prices seemed fair compared to the crazy 911 market’s emerging prices. (Been 20 years since my last 911.) Comparing to an early 70’s Mach 1 Mustang that I bought a year ago for a good price and had shipped from Tennessee, and have had the engine/clutch/exhaust/etc...fixed up; have been really satisfied with these past 2 buys. Both awesome cars - 1 All American muscle 351C Cobra, and now German 911 6 cylinder with dual Weber’s that only a 911 can sound like. Great car show combo. Anyway, wrote way more than expected, but felt compelled to do so after reading some off reviews about Sunshine, and because Pat is an honorable car dealer. Also saw some idiots’ reviews; apparently expected a used car to run like a new BMW when they spent only $10K-$25K. If you’re interested in buying a used car from any dealer or private party, know that you might need to dump few bucks into getting it done up the way you want, and that used cars will eventually need repairs. (So will new cars.) If you’re a Porsche guy, call Pat. He finds good deals and passes on the deal to his buyers. If I was into Fisker’s, I’d buy one that these guys are selling. If I decide to buy a Tesla or a Cop Car some day, I’ll check out these guys’ inventory. If I want to pick up my 6th XKE and these guys have a decent Series 1 or early coupe, I’ll consider it. Enough said. Over and Out.

Best experience ever These guys know there stuff Bought a Tesla Best purchase I’ve ever made and best dealership I’ve ever bought from

I would like to amend my earlier review which was unfavorable . We had some engine problems that had us upset. But when we contacted Bilal and told him the issues, he was in touch with us and our mechanic regularly. I dont believe he knew about the issues when he sold us the car, but he helped us out with the repairs. Considering we bought the vehicle as is and at a good price we felt that he was more than fair.

A true professional! Balil got my Tesla shipped to FL from IL very fast. Very knowledgeable on Tesla's and fair pricing! A great buying experience!
