Question Used cars in Denver

Anybody know of any high end, used car lots in Denver? I have to go down for a few days on business and would like to check out some of the possibilities that I have researching, in person.
My little corner of the world does not include many high end cars and VERY few used beauties.
I would LOVE to see a wide *** (C4S) in person

Thanks in Advance for any help.

well you could go over to the Ferrari dealership would that be high end enough for you?
Ferrari of Denver:
http://www.ferrariofdenver.com/

There is Rocky Mountain Autosport:
http://www.rmautosport.com/

Then there is Rocky Mountain Eurosport:
http://www.rockymountaineurosport.com/


And there are also 2 Porsche dealerships:

http://prestige-imports.porschedealer.com/
and
http://stevinson.porschedealer.com/

There is also a Lambo dealer but I am not sure if they have much of an inventory. I am sure there are more places but these are the ones I know about. There use to be a place call Paragon but they closed up shop from what I have heard.

Thank you!

One last thing: Are any of these somewhat close to the convention ctr./16th street mall?

Thanks for all the info!

We have a winner! He has both of the cars that I am looking at right now. Of course in three weeks they may be gone. Interesting inventory and just the kind of lot I was hoping to find.

Thanks a lot!

nope ... RMA is down on the south side of town off of Santa Fe I think. You'll have to rent a car.

When I bought my C4 Cab a few months ago, I checked out RMA - they had some nice cars, but they were a bit to old-time-used-car-salesy for me - "gonna make me a special deal if I buy TODAY" kind of thing.. no thanks.

I ended up buying from this place:

http://www.thegallerydenver.com/

Mainly cause my wife wanted the "pretty blue one" - they a relatively new dealer in town, and the young guy that runs it seems pretty cool. I got a decent, if not great deal on the car, and he took care of me with a few things in follow up - over all I've been happy with the way they treated me (though I kind had to remind 'em about a couple of things).

Anyway, they're worth checking out - if nothing else 'cause they have some interesting cars (I think mine was the cheapest car there, LOL), they're all under cover so you can wander around and look, and they're only a mile or so from the convention center - could probably grab a cab or hoof it if it's a nice
night.

- Nick

P.S. If you go, tell Russ (owner) or Andres (Finance guy) "Nick & Dawn" say hello.

Thanks for the heads-up! Are they a small outfit? The inventory seems very small. One mile from the centre is great though. The weather seems to be great every year (first week in August), so a walk might be in order.
And I will mention you guys, but since I am just "rubbernecking", it might not mean much.

Geez.. sounds like we were lucky not to have bought from them.. Answering the OP's original question (sorry, for some reason never got back to it).

Yeah, the Motor Sports Gallery is a small place.. they usually have about 20 vehicles or so in their showroom at a time.. they keep all their cars in their
showroom undercover, so they'd have to be..

There is also Paragon Motorsports (Motorcars?). It's a cool place. All high end cars (Lambos, Porsche, Jag, Noble, etc.). Owner is really into cars and will talk you're ear off even if he knows you're not buying anything. Art Deco kinda shop with espresso bar, big screen TV, etc.
Definitely worth the trip, but you'll need a rental car. Its on Arapahoe Road a couple miles east of I-25.

And no, I don't work for 'em...

I just thought it was a cool shop and would be a great place to visit for anyone into exotics. I'll be going back again sometime.

Hope it helps, have fun in Denver - its a great city!

Thanks for the info! So how far would this be from downtown Denver?

I go there every year or two for a trade show, and the only down time to date has been hanging out in the bars on 16th street. This time I want to hit some car shops and kept thursday mostly free (MAN are the meetings packed tight on friday!).
Right now I have three shops that are within 10 miles and so I would just cab it to two or three of those. However, this place sounds pretty cool.
