PLEASE READ REGARDING CLASSIC CARS!

 

We do not recommend driving a classic car home.

Old cars are just that, old cars. You need to ship it home. Out on the road, many miles from home is not the place to get familiar with your old car. Obviously we cannot stop you, but this is our recommendation.

 

Mileage is Exempt.

Unless we have some documentation we always sell classic cars as mileage exempt. That means we do not know the original miles. What we list in the ad is what the odometer currently reads or is based off rebuild information of the engine and or body/chassis. Also, you cannot do a Carfax or Autocheck on any VEHICLE older than a 1981.

 

You have to call us with any questions. If you email several questions we will tell you to call. If you are serious about buying a vehicle, you need to call us.

 

At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any used vehicle can have normal wear and blemishes. Before placing a bid please read the descriptions thoroughly and view all pictures.

 

 INSPECTIONS: VEHICLES CAN BE AVAILABLE ANYTIME TO VIEW, INSPECT, ETC. VIEWINGS AND INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO BIDDING.  PLEASE CONTACT US TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, TO MAKE OFFERS, GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED, ETC. DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO BUY.  YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A LEGAL CONTRACT.

Transport

We do not like to broker out any of our shipping.  We handle all arrangements in house so that we know exactlty where the vehicle is from point A to B.  We highly suggest only using enclosed shipping for vintage and exotic vehicles.  It is on average a couple of hundred dollars more but is well worth it when you think about how open carriers work with holding yards and packed shipping trucks... AND TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT 


We use the Central Dispatch carrier program and we do this because any carrier that wants to be affiliated with them has to licensed, insured, and bonded.  This is to protect your vehicle up until you recieve it.  


*Please note that the vehicle cannot be shipped until the first set of documents containing the bill of sale, tax exemption form, etc… has been returned to the dealership.   The documents are sent immediately to you after you have purchased the vehicle in full.  After these are sent back the vehicle is ready to ship and title will be mailed out.*
