Anyone familiar with Mohr Imports in Montery?

Heard they were ok from Bill Schworer.

Al Mohr is the owner and a long time used Ferrari seller. I bought a 1985 Testarossa from them in 1996. They are ok, the cars are fair, nothing really special. Adam is the son, and Al is the owner (Adam's father). The prices seem a little high for the cars.

 

I worked for Mohr back in college for about half a year, nearly a decade ago. Back then, the occasional F-Car would come through, but the primary business was more used Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, etc. I recall selling a decent '79 308 GTS to a guy who had just gotten a large inheritance. He showed up in a 90s Lincoln Town Car low-rider (complete with gold-plated 13-in. Daytons) and bought the car after a quick drive.

Back to the point, yes, Al is the owner (long-time Ferrari community member) and Adam is his son. I wasn't there for long due to class schedule conflicts, but my impression was that things were on the up and up. Average cars for slightly higher than average prices. I never spoke with a disappointed customer, during my time there. Haven't stopped by in years, but they seem to be more focused on special cars than they were in the past.

 

good to know. Im moving to Monterey. Any other ideas for a first purchase situation?

 

We just did $35,000 worth of work to a 355 Spider they sold and swore was in good condition. It ran on 6 cylinders and had hollowed out cats but somehow they managed to get it smogged.

Caveat emptor.

 

Al Mohr was one of my first clients in the early 90's. I handled overseas advertising for Mohr Imported Cars. Everyone I spoke with said he was incredible to work with, very detailed, very efficient and had a high level of integrity. That was then but I've heard similar compliments 17 years later.
