All guidesMercedes-Maybach S600 vs S650: what changed, and what to ask for before you buy
The 2016 to 2017 S600 and the 2018 onward S650 share a V12 and a wheelbase, but the engine, the face and the records you should request are different.
Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0: PDK or manual, and what changes the buying decision
The GTS 4.0 is the naturally aspirated flat-six Cayman most enthusiasts want. The gearbox choice changes who the car is for more than how fast it is.
Buying an enthusiast car from another state: inspection, payment, paperwork and transport
Most cars listed on The Motor Block leave California. Here is the process we use, step by step, so an out-of-state purchase is boring in the best way.

Questions people ask before they buy here
What is The Motor Block?
The Motor Block is a curated car listing platform from Southern California. It features clean enthusiast, luxury, performance and classic vehicles, each with a clean title verified before listing, offered by licensed dealers and private sellers, with full photos, VIN-decoded specs and nationwide shipping.
How is The Motor Block different from Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?
Every listing is reviewed before it goes up, photographed properly, described from VIN-decoded specs, and sold through a licensed dealer that handles title and sale paperwork. No lowballs, no no-shows, no mystery sellers.
Can I see a car in person?
Yes, by private appointment arranged by email. The exact location is shared once a viewing is booked.
Do you ship cars out of state?
Yes. Most of our cars leave California. We quote enclosed or open transport to your door and the dealer handles the sale paperwork. Registration requirements vary by state.
How do I sell or consign my car?
Email info@themotorblock.com with the year, make, model and a few photos. We photograph, write, list, and handle buyers; you get paid when it sells.
