Buyer Beware -- My Experience with HCC Specialty Cars…read more In December 2024, I agreed to buy a 1986 Porsche 930 from HCC Specialty Cars. I flew down on December 8th to inspect the car. When I arrived, I was told they had just pulled it out -- but the engine was already warm, which seemed odd. We went for a drive, and I was told the car had been serviced and came with a binder showing about $140,000 in documented work over its lifetime. During the test drive, I noticed a few small issues. I asked for them to be fixed before delivery, and they assured me they would take care of everything. None of those things were addressed. Later, Patrick (the owner) told me he was disappointed in his team and said he had personally inspected the car though what that inspection involved is still unclear. One thing that blows me away is him saying that he had the car serviced and the oil filter was 12 years old when we got it serviced. 12 years old! The car was delivered to me on December 23rd. The delivery company had trouble getting it started. A few days later, I let HCC know the car wasn't running right. the battery kept dying, and the idle would fluctuate so badly at night that the car nearly stalled. I brought it to Patrick Motorsports, one of the most respected Porsche shops in the country. They replaced the battery and advised me to drive it briefly, but more issues came up almost immediately. The car felt unreliable, and I was constantly worried it would break down. I contacted Patrick again, and we both agreed it needed a full evaluation and repair. I did end up spending over $70,000 to make this car right. I did not expect Patrick to reimburse me this amount but I did expect him to make it right. He never did nor has he attempted to. As the list of issues grew, Patrick started becoming harder to reach. He told me he was overwhelmed and dealing with a lot of other cars. I encouraged him multiple times to speak directly with Kyle at Patrick Motorsports, who could explain exactly what they found. Patrick made one call to Kyle, but never returned any of the three calls Kyle made back to him. Once I mentioned I was planning to go public with my complaints, Patrick said he might offer some kind of financial concession. Then he told me he should perhaps just save it for legal fees. At the end of the day, this comes down to character. Patrick talks a good game, seems sincere, and has a great story but in my experience, he didn't follow through on anything that mattered. He didn't stand behind the car, didn't communicate honestly, and didn't make things right. If you're thinking about buying from HCC Specialty Cars, don't take anyone's word for it. get the car independently inspected before you commit. I didn't, and it cost me.

Normally I buy my cars direct from the manufacturer's dealership. Nearly all cars that I've ever…read morepurchased are brand-new. However now that we have been in the era of turbocharging and electrification of nearly all engines, I have been on the hunt for securing iconic, naturally aspirated greats that will never be made again. Given this goal, finding peak NA Porsches has been a challenge. I have had great luck with purchasing Porsche CPOs but finding my final dream NA bucket list car proved difficult. I therefore decided to expand my search to boutique, exotic dealerships. This is when we came across HCC Specialty Cars in Dallas. Since my better half and I both needed to agree on this final dream car we were looking to share, HCC had one that we were able to compromise on and agree on. The dealer's owner Patrick was highly responsive to all our various questions. Since we weren't prepared to fly out to Texas, we were essentially relying completely on photos, videos, CarFax and the word of Patrick. Since he was a real straight shooter, we felt satisfied with the car and decided to move forward. We put in an offer that was accepted. After that, Patrick assisted with getting some additonal work done on the car before assisting with making arrangements to ship the car out from TX. After the car shipping company delivered the car, there were some unexpected hiccups with the car. Thankfully nothing mechanical...just annoying items that pestered the perfectionist sides of my wife and I. We immediately reached out to Patrick and he did do his best to try to problem solve and work through the issues. In the end, I did have to also enlist the help of my trusty Porsche contact at my local dealership. Long story short, everything all worked out in the end which is what ultimately matters. Overall, given the selection of great NA classics in HCC's inventory and what a professional, standup guy the owner Patrick is, HCC is highly recommended as far as boutique dealerships go!

For all of you Porsche owners out there, you also have an inherent design flaw which you will eventually need to fix. I recommend you give Magee's a call, first. (Wes S.)

CHIN AND AMAD ISMAIL REFUSED TO CONVEY TITLE to me for a car I paid cash for, UNLESS I PAID EXTRA…read moreMONEY!!! It took me over 12 weeks to get title, during which time my temp tags expired and I could not register my car in NM. July 17, 2017. The Dallas Better Business Bureau recently notified me that they have approved my complaint against One World Cars, and that it is now on file for public view. June 17, 2017. I have two active complaints for fraud and extortion with the Texas Attorney General (Complaint No: CGS-62983) and the Texas Motor Vehicle Division (Dealer No: P126266) against One World Cars and its owners Amad and Chin Ismail. The car I paid cash for was filthy , sold with a bad bearing, cracked brake hoses, worn-out tires, and dirty oil. I needed a car ASAP so I bought it. It took me 12 weeks to receive title for the 2007 Volvo XC vV70 car I paid Amad and Chin Ismail over $7,000 cash for. Even after my title had been returned to Amad and Chin because they used an incorrect mailing address , they still refused to deliver title until I agreed to allow them to keep a $90 overpayment I had mistakenly made on my cashier's check for the car. During the 6 weeks my title was lost in the mail, Chin refused to help and told me to apply for a lost title myself which I did, and received a letter 30 days later from MVD that stated they could not reissue "my" title since Chin and Amad had never put the title in my name. For 10 weeks after paying cash for the car, I was unable to register it. By the time the MVD forced Chin and Amad to convey title to me, my temp tag had been expired 30 days. Chin suggested in well-documented text messages that my alternative would be to drive from Santa Fe to Dallas and pick it up myself. All of the text and email messages conveyed to me regarding my purchase by One World Cars and its fraudulent owners Amad and Chin Ismail, have been saved and are available for view by request.

The thought of buying a used car nearly drove me insane. But when our daughter needed a car, we had…read moreno choice. After two weeks of scouring Facebook Marketplace, we had seen (and smelled) it all--cars that looked like crime scenes, others that reeked of questionable life choices, and plenty that were bad decisions. Then we found a Jeep Grand Cherokee at Dos Hermanos Motors!! Junior (sales guy) welcomed us right away, let her check out the car inside and out, take it for a test drive, and even provided the CarFax. Their pricing? Firm--no haggling here. But honestly, they don't need to negotiate because they carefully pick quality cars instead of just filling up a lot with junk. Family-owned business! Well, anyone who knows me knows that's my soft spot, they are good people.
