I highly recommend Gateway Classic to sell your car. Everyone on the staff was professional and pleasant to work with. They produced a great presentation with the writeup, photos, and video. The car sold quickly. I will use Gateway again in the future.

Fort Lauderdale Showroom: My classic car took forever to find a new home. It was consigned with the company for over 1 year. During this time, they had a large turnover in sales staff. We worked with 4 different sales people. The web site markets the car well with photos and video. We lost a number of sales due to a lack of follow up by the sales team with prospective buyers. If a buyer came to see the car, the sales force was not knowledgeable about the car and were forced to contact me for information and to answer questions. If I was unavailable to take their call due to my work and travel, they didn't follow up, the customer left the site, and the sale never occurred. This happened more than once with different sales people. When the car finally sold, they lost the title and paperwork to complete the sale, therefore delaying the payout. I took a beating on the sale and the car sold for much less than the recent appraised value. Rather than consign with this group, you would be well served to deal with Mecum or Barrett-Jackson, if able. I was planning to take the car off consignment when the contract ended, but it sold right before expiration. Be sure and have a full and complete understanding of the terms and conditions of the contract you sign with them as well. As you might expect, all contract clauses are written to protect Gateway, and not your interests.All in all, not a warm and fuzzy experience. Would not recommend this firm to you.

Communication would be appreciated between seller and consignor to avoid misinformation and missed expectations. Jason did his best to get me top dollar but the market wasn't there...so I had to settle for less..so be prepared for that.

Management changes hands to much and the result is poor communication with the customer... They mark the car up way higher than market value and when you ask them to lower it to get it sold, they slowly lower the price even after you give them a bottom line you will take, so they can make the most money on the sale.. This sales tactic takes longer to sell the car and you steady have to pay every 3-months to keep it listed and there on consignment. They also have no mechanical staffing with any type of aptitude to even trouble shoot the most easiest problems they can have when starting a car... ie: loose battery terminal wire in clamp.. LOL... AND That's a FACT JACK !!!!

Have not been able to even drive the POS that was purchased from your! Louisville dealer about 3 mos ago; The dealer completely lied about the condition of the car when explicitly asked the right questions. Here is a short list of the reasons it has been worked on(and still is):check engine light on, air cond. not working, When put in gear there is a "klunk", Master cylinder leaking, Emergency brake light stays on, exposed unconnected wires in engine compartment, etc,etc. Out over 23K and still have my mechanics bill to pay. I have not been able to drive it as it is unsafe in received condition. Would not recommend Gateway to my worst enemies!!!

Sorry to hear about your negative experience. Did you have your mechanic inspect the car before purchasing per our recommendation? Our cars range from 100+ year old hot rods to late model muscle cars and exotics. Because they are all pre-owned, we encourage all potential buyers to obtain a 3rd party mechanical inspection prior to purchase.

they are great way to get the best exposure for selling your car due to the amount of advertising they due on the internet.I would express to sellers however, when you list your car with Gateway that you write your own ad copy so you have the most responses on your car.

So I had great customer service but the car I got was not worth the money by far. Here is what I am having fixed at this day and time: Leaking at the transmission pan due to a busted visible gasket, oil drips on all oil pan screw heads, leaks coming from the transmission at the bell housing, “gasket corner” shims on the motor mounts because the motor was leaning to the driver side shock tower rubbing, driver side header leak, interior lights worked for about two hours after I got the car and now nothing works and I see fuse shims connected to all types of wires, very visibly horrible welding on some of the frame supports which tells me the car was wrecked in the front, the VIN is gone from under the passenger fender so I can’t completely confirm this is a true GTA. Otherwise, the car looks good, that’s about it. Lesson learned and if anyone asks, I will tell them to unfortunately not buy from you and I plan on going to a lot of shows...
