About Us
Welcome to texascarsdirect.com!
Introduction:
At your service since 1981. We invite you to inspect our superior quality Jaguar, Land Rover, and Mercedes Benz automobiles located under one roof in our warehouse/showroom.

Thank you for picking up our inventory list via the internet which allows you to browse and view photos of our actual available inventory at your leisure. We have no sales people and we will not contact you unless you request. This also follows true when you decide to visit us. We will not follow you around our showroom unless you request our assistance. If you request assistance we will be happy to help. We also welcome trade-ins. When you are ready to put a deal together on a vehicle we will be happy to evaluate your trade.

Many times we are asked about shipping the cars to various locations around the country. Unfortunately we do not ship the car ourselves, however we have found that Meeker Transport is a very reliable auto transport company and can assist you with your shipping needs. They can be reached at 800-936-5442 to get transport information or to make arrangements. Also, Lone Star Auto Transport is local to the Dallas area and can ship all over. Please contact Glenn Poe at (800) 240-2101 to get a quote.

In the news:
Texascarsdirect.com, Ltd. has become well known through out the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Even The Dallas Morning News featured an article in the Sunday paper, dated: March 4, 2001. The article is as follows:

Internet, hands-off approach
integral to car dealer's growth

By Victor Godinez
Staff Writer

Peter Bulban discovered early on that he had a knack for selling sports cars.
He borrowed $500 from his parents in 1977 while he was in high school to buy a Ford Mustang, on the condition that he repay them at the end of the summer.
He got the car but never got around to paying back the loan, so his parents forced him to sell the car.
"So I put it in The Dallas Morning News, and two people showed up at the same time and started arguing over the car," said Mr. Bulban, owner of Texas Mustang Sales in Dallas, a pre-owned car dealership that specializes in Jaguars, BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. "I put it in the paper for $500, and one guy said 'I'll give you $600,' the other guy said '$700,' and so forth and so on. Well, it wound up being $1,100."
"I paid my parents back and started my business unknowingly," he said. "But I realized that I had an eye for special cars, and the business has grown from that point to where we are now the leading seller of pre-owned Jaguars in the United States. We sold 821 cars last year; 609 of those were Jaguars."
Mr. Bulban said most people aren't confused that the name of the dealership contrasts with the make of the car he mostly sells, but the company will change its name to Texas Cars Direct this summer to match its Web Address.
"With the Internet, our business is coast-to-coast," he said. "I would say that over 50 percent of our business is Dallas-Fort Worth, but we do a lot in the surrounding states. We've had a day where we sold a car to somebody in Miami and Seattle in the same day."
That coast-to-coast customer base represents dramatic growth from when Mr. Bulban operated out of his house in the early 1980s. The company moved to its current Forest Lane location in 1989.
"Since we've moved there, we've actually doubled our size," Mr. Bulban said. "We have a 22,000-square-foot indoor showroom now. That's where we keep up to 100 cars at a time."
As the business has grown, so has the number of employees.
"It started basically with just me, and was that way for some time," Mr. Bulban said. "I had friends who would sort of help me out, then I hired a customer, actually, who answered an ad for a car. He made a proposal that helped me expand the business, and we did."
Texas Mustang Sales now employs seven people, and Mr. Bulban says he may add two more workers this summer. But he said he's deliberately stayed away from hiring traditional car dealership salespeople, preferring his employees to take a hands-off approach to sales.
"I've seen a lot of tension on the part of our customers when those people start to slide into their normal way of doing business," he said. "My biggest successes have come from hiring people who are in the banking business."

Client Quotes:
For me, it used to be that there were four things that were certain to be dreaded. They were death and taxes and going to the dentist and buying a car.
After my experience with you guys at TexasCarsDirect, I’m now down to the first three.
After a tip from a friend that you guys existed, I monitored your site for a couple of months. I was almost ready to order a car over the phone when a business trip to Dallas came up. I flew in a half day early and you were kind enough to pick me up at the airport.
I knew as soon as we arrived at your place that this was going to be a different car-buying experience. You handed me an inventory list (with detailed descriptions and prices), pointed me to the cars, said ‘holler if you have any questions or want to take one for a spin’ and left me alone.
Perfect. What a concept, huh? Offer a super-clean product at a fair price and give the customer credit for being able to make the best buying decision for him, without the usual showroom dance.
As you know, it only took about an hour for me to make my final choice, take a ride, make delivery arrangements to California and complete the paperwork. And then you gave me a ride to my hotel.
I told my wife that I got a $37,000 limo ride from the airport to my hotel and you guys threw in a pristine, low-mileage Jaguar 2007 XJ8.
Thanks for your hospitality and a special thanks to Bob for his assistance and professionalism.

Best regards.
Cliff



      Adam, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the entire process of purchasing a car from you. Everything was perfect and professional. This was the easiest car buying experience I have ever had. The pictures on the Internet accurately showed the car and there were no surprises. I would also like to commend Kay at Lone Star Auto Transport; she was super to work with. The driver that delivered my car was exceptional and even followed up with a phone call to let me know the car was delivered. You have a very satisfied client and one that will certainly tell others about your company.

Best regards,
Andy



      I had a lot of reservations about purchasing a vehicle site unseen over the Internet. However, I must admit that buying my Jag through your team is the most painless car buying experience I have ever had. The car is beautiful and runs awesome.

Thanks
Chris F



      I just wanted to send you a quick note to express my satisfaction and easy process of getting my car. As you know I drove 1,600 from Dallas to Stamford and enjoyed every mile of it. The car is in really great condition and I am happy to own it, well in this case my wife, since is a surprise present for her.
      I was very happy to experience how easy it was to get the documentation processed and the courtesy of everyone at your office. I am looking forward to find an opportunity to highly recommend you and your dealer to any of my customers and friends

Best regards
Alberto



      I just wanted to thank you for a very pleasant buying experience. TexasCarsDirect made a trip from Virginia worth it and the car is more than I ever expected. The trip home was a nice driving trip and I had some of the best barbeque every region had to offer, from Dallas to Memphis to Knoxville and some places in between. Between a new Jaguar and a cross-country eating extravaganza, it was a blast. Thanks for the good directions to Sonny’s, I got there and had a great lunch. I hope all is well with you and just wanted to let you know I am very impressed with your business and hope I can talk with you again. Thanks.
