USHorrible experience Horrible experience. Dan Collard contacted me to consign my 2005 Mercedes SL500. He fed me a bunch of lies and then once I had it delivered there asked me to lower my net price. They then listed it for $5000 over at a 35% commission, ridiculous! When my 90 days was up, I had no interest in resigning because they wouldn't lower the asking price and it was way too high so nobody was interested. Dan told me I has 2 weeks to pick up the car with no storage charges. On the 15th of September I received an email from Cheryl Hammond, office manager that said I owed $200 storage fees for the whe month of September. I sent her the email that Dan sent me stating that I wouldn't be charged for 2 weeks and she said Dan doesn't make the rules, she does. So Dan lied and misled me. I had sold the car myself in the meantime and sent someone to pick it up on October 1st. I called Cheryl on the morning of the 1st to pay the unwarranted storage fees so it could be picked up. Cheryl was very rude, told me she was very "pissed off" at me an I was an ignorant a$$hole and hung up on me. I then had to send my payment info through email because she wouldn't talk to me. When the driver picked up the vehicle they were very rude and uncooperative. VERY VERY DISHONEST AND MISLEADING WITH HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. BUYER/SELLER BEWARE!!

US77 Plymouth Gran Fury I bought a 77 Plymouth Gran Fury in Spring of this year from the Phoenix, AZ location. The car was trailered to my home in Plymouth, MI. I inspected the car and the exterior is okay, however, there were safety issues with the car. The windshield wipers don't work, the A/C is so bad, I have to replace all the major parts, compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc. the battery was missing the hold down bracket, so when I took the car for a test drive in my neighborhood, it died when I made a right turn as the battery was tilting when I made my turn and the positive battery post hit the underside of the hood. I had the battery issue repaired and drove it a few miles. I came back home and parked it in my garage for several days. I had to use the inside of my garage to do some wood cutting for a project and backed the car out of the garage. There is now a 6 foot long, 1 foot wide trail of automatic trans fluid on the floor where the car was parked. There's also a courtesy light on the passenger side of the interior that stays on 24/7, thus wearing down the battery. I took the bulb out so it would not wear down the battery. These issues were sent to the "salesman", Todd Schneider, but never heard a word back. These cars may be sold on consignment as he told me, but they are the ones handling all the documents and charging the exorbitant doc fees. They need to have a checklist like I've seen other antique car dealers use to check off ALL safety features on a car, such as brakes, wipers, lights exterior and interior, tires, A/C, etc. If something does not work or needs replacing, THE dealer needs to be responsible for repairing said problem or noting it on a checklist. I will NEVER buy from them again. They give the hobby a bad name and I have sent out emails to friends of mine who are also old car enthusiasts to not even call them to look at a car. When someone is looking to buy a car from out of state like myself, the dealer needs to be trustworthy to list any issues with the vehicle if they are not going to do the right thing and have them repaired. I would trust EBay before I would buy another car from them!

USGateway engages in illegal title jumping After paying $57000 for a classic car with Gateway Classic Cars, they first lied to me about the time required to receive the wire transfer. Then they scratched the car severely during final prep. Next, they delayed the title transfer more than 3 weeks. I found out through research that this tactic is called "title jumping" wherein they tell the seller that the funds have not been received, and they make several hundred dollars on the interest float. They put off the buyer with lies and deception while they rake in the interest. This company has numerous "shell" LLC's listed as follows: CVP HOLDINGS, LLC a foreign limited liability company. Normally, when a company is owned by one of these shell corporations, they are committing tax fraud and avoiding taxes in each state where they operate. A search of CVP HOLDINGS revealed that they received a Coronavirus-related PPP loan from the SBA of $1,380,798.00 in April, 2020. That is YOUR tax money, folks...going to support this foreign owned business. Coming up on 4 weeks post sale, and these criminals have still not initiated the title transfer. BUYER BEWARE- GATEWAY CLASSIC CARS is a shill company.

USI bought a car that was a dream I bought a car that was a dream. They delivered it and the car was a mess. it cost me over 4,000 dollars to fix the electrical problems i inherited from gateway. But all that being said. Yhanks to diligent attorneys i received a check on a settlement where gateway was ripping off customers. Shame on Gateway. I hope your business falls flat on its bogus, untrus tworthy ass!
