Why Don’t You Have My Color?

Say you’ve found the perfect car, but it’s the wrong color. Maybe it’s a color you just can’t stand. Or, perhaps you had your eye on THE perfect car – make, model, options and color.

It’s true. Sometimes, your perfect Poquet car just might not be available in your perfect color.

There’s a hard-and-fast truth behind why this sometimes happens.

When we purchase cars to bring back to our Poquet lot, quality is our number one priority. We choose the best cars, in the best condition, at the absolute best price.

Here’s a little peek into our buying process... Say our buyers are looking at Mercedes C300’s. When we’re at the Mercedes sale, we find 50 Mercedes C300’s available for us to purchase. So our next step is a quality check. We’ll meticulously assess each of those 50 cars and isolate only those vehicles that meet our high standards for quality. After doing the quality check, only 10 out of those 50 cars may end up meeting our requirements. And out of those 10, perhaps only three cars were aligned with our market assessment (to give you the best price).

So out of 50 cars, we purchased three because those were the only cars that met our high-quality and great value requirements. Color was not a factor.

So if your perfect car is an Infiniti G 37 X AWD Coupe in Venetian Ruby, and we only have it in Moonlight White… know that we may have intentionally walked right by the red one because it simply was not in pristine condition.
