Default VMC Motors Richmond Canada: 997.2 GTS

Hi Guys:

Just curious if anyone here has dealt with VMC Motors before? They have a 997.2 GTS that I am interested in and called them many times and said they will send me the carfax report or someone will call me back for more details of the car and nothing!!!
Customer services doesn't seem to be their priority there. Or they don't care to really wanting to sell the car it appears lol!!

They seem to be a newly opened used car dealership. The name is not familiar to me.

Just in general alot of places can't be bothered to send a Carfax. What ever. GTFO to them.... I have honestly just got to the point where I just ask for the VIN and run my own Carfax. If I can get a VIN from them. Some of these places are a total joke.

Hmmm - a bunch of cargo vans and a 997.2 - certainly an odd grouping of used vehicles.

I keep an eye on anything Speed Yellow...

That car was sold by Pfaff Reserve (Vaughan) in April 2020.
Then I saw it pop up for sale in the summer of 2021 out West somewhere (Alberta I think).
And now its in BC.
Same kms since Pfaff sold it.
Don't know much else.

Wow so it was sold for around $104K only back 2yrs ago and someone else flipped it from Alberta to these guys (Do you remember how much the guys from Alberta was selling it for?)

Good to know....wonder if anyone else has more intel on this car.

The car dealer isn't really responding back on any of the inquiries on this car for some odd reason.

Don't know how long you have waited for a response, but if your getting ignored on a 140k car well that's just crazy. This market is totally messed up.

Yup I called 3x's and every time they said they will send me the carfax and have someone call me back for more information about the car. No call back..no carfax...nothing lol!!!

I gave up...so its their loss for a potential business!!

Personally, I don’t think that car is worth almost $140k.

The $104k from Pfaff a few years back seems a bit on the high side too... I recall the 997 GTS cars were regularly selling for around $80-90k a couple years back. Even with the market being stupid $140k seems ridiculous to me but to each their own.

I wouldn't pay $140K for that car as you mentioned. Even a year ago the car was selling for $104K and can't tell me the car went up $40K in value that fast. To be honest that car is worth around $120-125K max and maybe less than that right now as the market seems to be dropping further. There are a few GTS I have been eyeing on and is selling between $130-140K and its just sitting there for the past 4 months.

I have seen other ,not Porsche, brands sit for over a year. No movement on price. Are these small lots just a front for money laundering or something?

Or they no nothing about Porsche cars and the history of the car!! But yet they are selling it at a premium price that no one is willing to pay if you can't even answer a few simple questions about the car.

If it took PFAFF a long time to sell at $104K just a year or so ago....this one is going to sit for a long time I bet.

It was sold 2.5 years ago (April 2020). And it did sell quickly.... I was watching it and thinking about it.
