Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis

Terrible experience that all others should learn from I thought purchasing a vehicle from gateway would avoid the concerns I had of buying a classic car ,unfortunately I was mistaken. I thought I was wor I thought purchasing a vehicle from gateway would avoid the concerns I had of buying a classic car ,unfortunately I was mistaken. I thought I was working with a reputable dealership and doing so I made the mistake of purchasing the car based on thier presentation of facts and videos. This material turned out to be false misleading and misrepresentation of thier marketing. If you are considering a purchase make sure it is inspected by a professional it is worth it. After I brought my complaints to them they listened with no action More

Difficult to deal with and misleading. I began talking to Jeff @ the IL location on Monday, January 29th. about purchasing a '96 Mustang Cobra they had listed on Ebay for $14k. (This was a I began talking to Jeff @ the IL location on Monday, January 29th. about purchasing a '96 Mustang Cobra they had listed on Ebay for $14k. (This was after receiving and email from him asking if I was ever even interested in the car after I didn't return one of his voicemails over the weekend.) After a brief negotiation we agreed to a price of $12,500 and I let him know I could wire full payment on Friday, February 2nd after I moved some money around. He told me they were trying to close out their month and asked if I could overnight a check. I let them know I could, but they'd have to hold it till Friday. Which I did. Unfortunately they cashed the check immediately and it bounced. Charging me an NSF fee of $38 they said they'd take care of, which they never did. I honestly didn't and still don't care about the $38, my issue was that I was leaving on vacation in 2 weeks and wanted to have the car arrive beforehand. After the check bounced I was reassured by Jeff and Kenny that by 2/9 they would resubmit my check and once cleared release the car. February 9th rolls around and nothing. I call, both Jeff and Kenny blow me off the phone and I'm directed to Lisa, who was very helpful. After some digging, she finds the check was never resubmitted to the bank. I told her to cancel it and I'd wire the money same day, which I did. The car was then released and shipped to me. By February 26th I still hadn't received the title to the car and I was told the seller is out of the country until 2/28. On March 5th, Lisa emails me that the seller finally brought it in and she was next day shipping it. Which she did. When the title arrived, I saw that it was a duplicate and that it was just issued. My assumption is that the seller lost the original and instead of just telling me that I was told he was out of the country. Still though, they knew the car was selling on January 29th and I didn't get a title until March 6th. As the title of the review states, it was a difficult transaction and both Jeff and Kenny were misleading. Of course buying from out of state I'll never know if it was intentional or if they are just that disorganized. Fortunately I was able to have the vehicle registered, inspected, and titled on 3/9. The car is as advertised and clean. In the end, I paid a premium for the car and wish their customer service level reflected the price I paid. More
