Boulder Motors

Boulder Motors is a family-owned dealership in Boulder, Colorado, that sells classic, muscle and collector cars alongside a selection of used vehicles. According to the company's website, it is owned and operated by the Bunch family and has been involved in specialty, classic and collector vehicles since 1961. It operates from 2510 47th St, Suite 200, in north Boulder.

History

The company's about page says the family's roots in the car business go back to 1925, when the great-grandfather of one of the current owners became involved with Ford and Lincoln dealerships. The site says the business is built on repeat and referral customers and emphasizes personal service. The 1925 and 1961 dates are the company's own account and were not independently confirmed.

How the business works

Boulder Motors sells vehicles from its own inventory, as a dealer buying and reselling cars. Its site also offers a vehicle locating and concierge service and what it calls vehicle brokerage, meaning it will search for a particular car on a buyer's behalf. There is also a "Sell Your Auto" page for people who want to sell a vehicle. The company does not describe a consignment program. If you are new to dealer purchases, a guide to buying from a classic car dealer covers the basics of paperwork, inspection and negotiation.

What it sells

The website listed about 23 vehicles at the time of research, and the mix is broader than a pure classic lot. Several are 1960s Ford Mustangs, including a 1965 fastback, a 1966 K-code GT and a 1966 convertible, and the inventory also included a 1967 Camaro, a 1970 Jaguar E-type roadster, a 1990 Alfa Romeo Spider, a Citroen Traction Avant and a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint convertible. Prices on classics ranged from the mid-teens to a little over $110,000. The same lot also carried newer used vehicles such as Lexus LX 470 SUVs, Toyotas and a 2015 Audi, so buyers should check each listing for year and condition. The dealer also has a page on Classic.com. For a broader search, see more classic cars in Colorado.

Buying from Boulder Motors

The company says it will work to resolve issues involving a vehicle, financing, warranty or transportation, and its site says it can help get buyers approved for financing. Specific terms, such as deposits, warranties, shipping and inspection policies, are not published, so buyers should ask for them in writing. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent specialist is sensible on any older car, and especially on higher priced Mustangs and European cars.

Reputation

Birdeye lists Boulder Motors with an average of 4.8 stars from 16 reviews, all sourced from Google. That is a small sample, so it is best read as a general indication rather than a verdict. No BBB rating was confirmed.
