Nick's Story

My name is Nick Garulay and I am the owner and President of Ambassador Auto Sales Inc.  I offer my professional knowledge and service and strive for complete customer satisfaction.

I have been infatuated with cars since I was 5 years old. When I was 10 I could tell my father what kind of vehicle was coming down the road just from the headlights. When I turned 14 years old I bought and sold my first vehicle before I had a drivers license. I knew that this was what I wanted to do for a career.

I started walking into the retail dealerships and negotiating deals on cars that I never intended on buying. Sure this wasn't the right thing to do to the poor salesman that was dealing with me but I got a rush from negotiating.

When I finally got my drivers license I started to test drive the cars from all the high end franchise dealerships. Every vehicle from foreign to domestic I could tell you a story about.

One day I walked into the Porsche dealership and sat down with the salesman and started to negotiate a deal on a new Porsche Twin Turbo. The salesman was no match for me so he brought in his sales manager. Keep in mind I had no intentions of buying this vehicle but it was one of my favorite cars.

We went back and forth for hours. Finally when it came time to test drive I took the salesman for the ride of his life. He was so impressed with my knowledge of cars he begged his manager to hire me for his sales team.

I started selling Porsches at the age of 17. I was the top sales person out of 13 sales associates. I was very customer focused and a great problem solver.

One day the manager called me in for a meeting and expressed anger over my attentiveness to my customers. He said I was being too generous!!

Keep in mind that I always wanted to have my own business but never had the funds to do so. I remember the demand for Florida vehicles when I lived in Boston and how easy they were to sell.

I closed my bank account with a whopping 8,000 dollar balance and moved to Naples, Florida.

Although Naples seemed like the area to come before you die, this is the used car Mecca. The vehicles here are garage kept and in showroom condition. Naples cars are very easy to sell.

Now I knew I wanted to deal only in high end vehicles but I didn't have the funds available. I focused more on my reputation and customer satisfaction. I was dealing with $500.00 cars and supplying the local Haitian and Mexican market.

In 2 years I managed to save up enough money to buy my first Mercedes Benz S class. This is a favorite vehicle. I had been watching eBay motors for a short time but did not understand how people could buy something so large 'sight unseen'.

I cleaned this Mercedes Benz S class and went through it with a fine tooth comb. I fixed every glitch and made the vehicle a 'need nothing' car. I took some pictures and figured out how to list it on eBay.

A customer called me within 2 days of the auction's start and wanted to purchase the vehicle. I told the customer all of the items that I repaired and how I operate my business. He was so impressed that he wired me funds for the vehicle without seeing it first.

Although I lost $200 on the sale I discovered my niche.  With the reputation that I had locally I decided to expand to a worldwide market and sell vehicles on the internet. I have been doing this for the last 6 years during which time I have sold over 1000 vehicles. These vehicles have been fully inspected and serviced. Each and every vehicle was inspected with my fine tooth comb. I have worked very hard for my reputation and will continue to do so.

I HAND PICK EVERY VEHICLE AND ONLY BUY VEHICLES THAT I WOULD OWN PERSONALLY.

Please take a moment to read each step that is taken to assure complete customer satisfaction!!

STEP 1.   I walk around the vehicle and make a list of any items that need to be addressed cosmetically.

STEP 2.  The vehicle is inspected here at my service facility mechanical inspection is performed. Fluids are changed to assure the vehicle needs nothing when my customer takes possession.

STEP 3.  I attend to my list of cosmetic issues and make repairs with no expense spared.

STEP 4.  The vehicle detailed here at the facility which is done extensively!!

STEP 5.  The vehicle is taken to my photo area and I perform a professional photo shoot like my   

               vehicle is a model for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit magazine!

STEP 6.  I return to the office to load every picture and post a very detailed description of each and 

              every vehicle on eBay Motors.

STEP 7.  I wait for you to call and begin the transaction.

STEP 8.  Once the vehicle is funded I arrange nationwide shipping for you at your expense.

STEP 9.  You receive your new vehicle and call me to tell me how happy you are and that you will tell all of your family and friends about me!

Now you know the exact procedure of my business and ethics.

I have a very large client database. I also have a long waiting list due to my professional methods of business. This is why my vehicles do not last more than 5 days in inventory.

I am a minimal employee operation offering you my complete personal assistance with your internet purchase.  I am a reputable, licensed, bonded, and insured vehicle dealer. I specialize in clean, accident free, hand picked, highline vehicles. My business is online with www.eBayMotors.com and I offer my vehicles at highly competitive prices.

I plan to build a long lasting professional relationship with you. I want to accommodate all of your vehicle needs.

I do understand how risky and stressful it can be to purchase a used vehicle especially online.   I do try to specialize in vehicles that are one owners with all books and service records and from Florida. Give me a chance to earn your business and establish a professional and personal relationship with you. Again I guarantee you won't buy a car from anyone else ever again.  I do appreciate your interest and look forward to doing business with you.

Reach me any time on my personal cell (239) 269 7713 for any questions you may have.
