Every car has its own charm and unique story and represents a piece of history, so it’s no wonder many owners find it hard to part with their precious ride. And I genuinely understand where they come from. I appreciate all these stories and I am genuinely interested in hearing all the memories you have about the car you plan on selling.
Below, you can see top six benefits of selling to Old Town Classics, picked by my clients.
1. Fair Offers
When valuating how much classic car is worth, I utilize my experience and my knowledge to determine it’s realistic value in current market conditions. To provide you with fair and reasonable offer, I consider several factors such as car’s condition (age, original parts, paint condition, etc.) and supply and demand on the market. So, whether your Mercedes Gullwing is a factory survivor or not, if it’s well preserved, I would like to see it and present you with an honest and accurate offer.
2. Smooth sale. Lost title accepted.
For me, the goal is to make the sale process as easy and as quick as possible, to minimize all inconveniences. After the initial reach and setting up the appointment, I will personally meet with you to see the car and to chat about its background. With me, everything is easy going and transparent, without hidden agendas or complicated procedures. Finally, don’t worry if you can’t find the title, as I can take care of the paperwork myself.
3. 35+ years of experience
Ever since childhood years, I had huge appreciation for the unique design and craftsmanship of classic cars, and I have gotten into the dealership business in 1987. Since then, I have had the opportunity to personally inspect and learn more about these historic automobiles which I regard as true works of art.
4. Skip brokerage fees
Another reason to sell your classic car to me is that you are getting the full amount offered. I am not a broker or a middleman and you will sell directly to me. Since you will deal only with me, there are no unexpected expenses you have to pay and you will be getting the entire profit.
5. Pick up at your location
Even though my company (Old Town Classics) is based in the city of San Diego, I am servicing the entire Southwest California. If your vehicle is what I’m looking for, I will travel to your location to see the car. This whole sale process is very convenient for you as the seller, because you don’t have to spend a lot of time, money, or efforts to close the deal. Instead, I will do the driving and you can continue with your regular daily activities as usual.
6. Friendly & pleasant sales experience
If you check the reviews, you’ll see that my customers appreciate the fact that I am an easy going person, and not an aggressive dealer. They recognize my genuine interest in automotive history and my friendly character. I like to take things slowly and speak with each client in a laid-back manner to better understand what their needs are before we move onto selling. Most importantly, I do not push or oblige anyone to sell, but if you ask me to, I will help you make an educated decision.
