The Park Place LTD Story: Nearly Four Decades of Automotive Excellence
When passion meets precision in the world of high-performance automobiles, extraordinary things happen. Since 1987, Park Place LTD has carved out a distinctive place in the luxury automotive landscape, becoming Western Washington's most trusted name for specialty luxury vehicles in Bellevue. What began as a vision to serve true automotive enthusiasts has evolved into a comprehensive destination where discerning drivers in Boise and throughout the Pacific Northwest discover their dream machines.
Our story is one of dedication, expertise and an unwavering commitment to the automotive community.
From Vision to Reality: The Park Place LTD Foundation
The year 1987 marked more than just another business opening in Bellevue. Park Place LTD emerged as an independently-owned and -operated specialty dealership with a clear mission: to create a haven for high-performance, classic and collectible automobile enthusiasts. Unlike corporate chains focused on volume, our founders understood that specialty vehicles demand specialized knowledge, personalized service and genuine passion.
Our independently owned status has always been our strength. This freedom allows us to curate inventory based on quality rather than quotas, to build lasting relationships rather than chase quick transactions, and to invest in our community rather than answer to distant shareholders. For nearly four decades, this philosophy has shaped every decision and defined our reputation.
Building the Northwest's Premier Luxury Automotive Campus
What started as a vision has grown into an impressive 40,000-square-foot campus in the heart of Bellevue. Our indoor showrooms showcase the finest collection of new and pre-owned vehicles in the region, creating an environment where each automobile is displayed like the work of art it represents. From gleaming new luxury cars to meticulously maintained classics, our facility reflects the caliber of vehicles we represent.
The expansion over the years tells the story of our growth and evolution. Each addition to our campus has been purposeful -- from specialized service bays to climate-controlled storage areas, every square foot serves our mission of providing unmatched service to automotive enthusiasts in Boise and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Exclusive Brand Partnerships: Aston Martin & Lotus Leadership
A defining moment in Park Place LTD's history came with our appointment as the Northwest's exclusive Aston Martin dealer. This prestigious partnership represents more than just a business relationship -- it's recognition of our commitment to excellence and our deep understanding of the luxury automotive market. Over twenty years of Aston Martin expertise have positioned us as the region's undisputed authority on these magnificent machines.
Our relationship with Lotus runs even deeper. As one of the oldest and largest Lotus dealerships in the United States, we've witnessed the evolution of this iconic brand while maintaining the specialized knowledge that Lotus ownership demands. This heritage, combined with our representation of Superformance, Backdraft Racing and Karma Automotive, creates a unique portfolio that attracts collectors and enthusiasts from across the country.
Pioneering the Consignment Process
Innovation has always been part of our DNA, and nowhere is this more evident than in our approach to consignment sales. Our consignment department pioneered the process and continues to set industry standards with an impressive track record -- 70% of consigned inventory sells within 60 days or less.
This success stems from our comprehensive approach. Our experienced team works collaboratively -- salespeople, managers, owners and consignment staff unite to maximize results for our clients. Whether arranging luxury car financing, accepting trade-ins or structuring leases, we provide worldwide exposure and every opportunity to maximize return on investment.
Auto Service Centers in Bellevue & Boise
Our commitment to the vehicles we sell extends far beyond the initial purchase. Our state-of-the-art 15-bay service facility houses the Northwest's exclusive factory-authorized Aston Martin and Lotus service centers, alongside our renowned Mercedes Garage and unrivaled Jaguar Service department staffed by Master Technicians. ASE Certified technicians ensure that whether you drive a BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz or Porsche, your vehicle receives the specialized care it deserves.
The Auto Salon Legacy: Pampering Perfection
Even before Park Place LTD opened its doors, our commitment to automotive excellence was taking shape. Founded in 1980, Park Place Auto Salon established itself as the Eastside's premier all-hand car wash facility and has earned recognition as The 425's Favorite Detailing Center.
Our expertly trained wash technicians treat every vehicle with meticulous care, using only the highest-quality, environmentally friendly products. From curbed wheel refinishing to paint protection film installation, ceramic coatings to window tinting, our comprehensive menu of services ensures your vehicle looks as extraordinary as it performs.
Community Connection: Racing, Events & Partnerships
Park Place LTD has been a staple in the Western Washington automotive community through professional racing sponsorships, community events and partnerships with regional clubs and organizations. These connections aren't just marketing -- they represent our genuine involvement in the enthusiast community we serve. Our participation ranges from track days and car shows to collector gatherings and charitable events.
