Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo

We have been looking for a Ford Thunderbird for several months. We found a 2004 Thunderbird with lower mileage at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo. We feel we got a very fair deal on the car and we really appreciated the very low pressure approach allowing us to take our time making a purchase decision. We dealt with Lance who was great to deal with. When we made a decision to buy Lance prepared the paperwork in advance making the purchase very quick and simple. We had a geat experience with the purchase and are very happy with the car!

I happened to see online that RTGT had pretty much the exact car that I had been looking for for quite some time. It was my first time at the dealer and Larry happened to be there. He showed me the car that I was looking for, but unfortunately the car had a flat battery and needed a oil change. Larry said that everything would be ready by the end of the Monday business day. After a jump start and a quick test drive, I knew that this was the car for me. Larry and his boss worked out a deal that was reasonable and since Monday I have been enjoying my new car. Larry has been great with the after sales services. I am looking forward to being a repeat customer of RTGT, especially at their new location in Wilsonville!

When is buying a used car not like buying a used car? When you buy it from Larry Zemliak at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo. I purchased the car on eBay sight unseen from across the country based largely upon the reputation of the dealership. After buying the car, my first contact was with Larry Zemliak, the used car sales manager. Larry could not have been more pleasant and helpful in that first conversation, and that helpfulness continued throughout the process. I had planned on driving the car back to the East Coast, but when my plans changed Larry arranged shipping at a very reasonable cost with a reputable company. He also provided updates as things progressed. After a one week journey, the car arrived in perfect condition and was exactly as described. Buying a 40 year-old car without first inspecting it is always a risky proposition. I took a leap of faith and was not disappointed. Larry Zemliak and Gran Turismo exceeded my expectations every step of the way.

My experience with RTGT was the finest I have ever had with a car dealership. For this dealership, my used car purchase would be considered low end- But I don't believe I would have been treated with more respect, attentiveness and accommodation had I been buying a top of the line Ferrari. The staff- Larry in particular- was very helpfuland professional. I confirmed the price was below KBB; I requested an online application and received not only the application but a response in less than 3 hours. I emailed Larry that I was on my way to the dealership- when I arrived he was bring my car "up front". We immediately went for a test drive, Larry patiently answering every question I threw at him knowledgeably. We returned to the showroom and I was instantly offered a beverage. In record time I had the paperwork signed (and explained in great detail all along)and was on my way, literally in less than an hour after I had arrived. After a quick trip to DEQ I was back and the plates were in the mail. In a word- painless. I would highly recommend Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo to anyone looking to buy a car. Professional, accommodating, attentive and helpful. Very pleasant experience.

I was incontact with Larry via email for about a week prior to my purchaseas I was coming in from out of state. Upon arrival at the dealership I found the cars i was interested in out and ready for my inspection and test drive. The transaction wwas quick with it taking only 3 hours to complete.

Larry was very easy and pleasant to work with. We live in Illinois and once we agreed on a price, my wife and I flew out to see the car and Larry. Larry picked us up at the airport and took us back to our hotel. He did not "hassel" me through the process from first seeing the car on line to buying the car a few months later. I would highley recommend Larry and the dealership. Straigh up people and good people to do business with. Thank you.

About my latest transaction at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo with Larry Zemliak For a second car transaction at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo/Portland, I could not have a better man than the one who helped me for the first one, Larry Zemliak. When several months ago, Larry and I completed the purchase of the 2012 Maserati Gran Turismo, I let him know that I will be back with the intention of purchasing a Ferrari. After a few questions to "picture" the car, Larry knew which car I was thinking about. During the following months, we both were talking about the new models coming up and my thoughts about the FF as well as the F12 Berlinetta, and even if Ferrari had stopped manufacturing the 599 last year, I really liked the 599 GTB Fiorano, because I am more into the "classic " Pininfarina style. So I told Larry that if ever he happened to hear about a 599 GTB Fiorano red outside and white inside, he should let me know ASAP. One month later, Larry had followed up and he emailed me pictures of a 599 Fiorano that just got in the shop, exactly the description I made of it . He showed me the car, I liked it a lot, I took very little time to make my mind, and here I am with the car of my dreams, thanks to Larry once again. Larry is the man who will find you the car of your dreams. Larry could not make a better day in my life at this moment! He is the quiet man who listens to you very carefully, and with a few questions, he will know who you are to suggest the best car in your life, and he will get it for you. His knowledge is endless about Ferraris and Maseratis. What else do you want when you go buy the car of your dreams at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo..? The answer is: Larry Zemliak! At Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo, everybody pays a great deal of attention to your desires and wishes, and the man I deal with is Larry Zemliak, because he is the best professional and found the best choices for me. Thank you Larry! It’s always a pleasure !!!!! Christian Selleron

Greg and Larry of Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo are GREAT! I drove down to the dealership and test drove a 2011 BMW. I drove back home and decided to purchase the vehicle. I called Larry and Greg and they said that they would get the loan application started and drive the vehicle to our house in Longview, Washington when the loan was approved. Several hours later they were on their to Longview. When they arrived they had the car and loan papers in hand. The signing took about fifteen to twenty minutes. First class service from two first class people and one first class auto dealership! Thank you! Joe Martin

I was looking to buy another 2008 Mustang Bullitt, but I couldn't find the right one near my home in Southern California. Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo had one that looked very nice in the pictures they had posted on eBay. However, I was more than a little concerned about flying from San Diego to Portland to pick up a car that I hadn't seen in person, relying only on the posted pictures. Larry Zemliak answered all of my questions and concerns over the phone and by email, and was the most responsive Sales Manager I have ever worked with in purchasing many cars over many, many years. Larry assured me that the car was beautiful, but if I didn't think the car was as described when I came to pick it up, he would refund my deposit. Larry sent all of the paperwork to me via UPS, with a UPS return envelope enclosed, so we could expedite the paperwork in advance of me picking the car up. My Son and I flew from San Diego to Portland to complete the purchase, and were picked up at the Portland airport by Larry as soon as our flight arrived around 9:15am. By 10:10am we were on our way home to San Diego, driving the 2008 Bullitt, after doing a walk around and test drive of the car, completing the final signatures on the paperwork, and paying for the car. The car was immaculate, as described by Larry, and it ran flawlessly on the 1,100 mile drive home from Portland. As we were leaving the dealership, I asked Larry if we were missing something in the paperwork, because this was the easiest and quickest car buying experience I have ever had. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend the dealership and Larry to anyone, nor would I hesitate for a moment to purchase another vehicle from Larry. He truly exemplifies the words "customer service".

Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo has the best professional, his name is Larry Zemliak. Thank you so much Larry, for being such a great professional available to listen to our wishes and requests, answering all questions with such an impressive knowledge and accuracy!
