Seller Beware! I want to post a warning about doing business with Gateway Classic Cars in Denver. In July I decided to list my 2007 Shelby GT (CSM3184) with Gateway. I want to post a warning about doing business with Gateway Classic Cars in Denver. In July I decided to list my 2007 Shelby GT (CSM3184) with Gateway. I dealt with Devine and Scott. I was very clear with them before I consigned my car that I wanted to talk to the new owner. I’ve made a lot of upgrades to my SGT and wanted the new owner to understand everything. Not once did Scott or Devine ever mention that I would not be allowed to speak with the new owner. In our conversations about pricing I set a top dollar and bottom that I wanted out of the deal. Gateway adds their commission on top of what I want with a minimum of $2,500 coming to them. I was told that if I was asked to drop my price they (Gateway) would take an equal price reduction. When Scott called me and told me that there was an offer on my SGT but it would require me dropping to my bottom price. I asked Scott if Gateway was taking an equal price reduction. His answer was yes. A complete LIE! Gateway will not put the deal in writing. They call you and ask you to answer yes via text if you agree to the sale. They won’t disclose the sale price or any details. Fast forward a few weeks ago the new owner tracked me down through facebook and we started talking. I was glad as I wanted him to know everything about the car as I was the original owner. Eventually the discussion turned to price and I found out that in fact Scott LIED. Gateway took ZERO reduction in price and I took ALL of the hit. I’ve called Gateway and emailed them but of course they’ve gone dark. No response. So be forewarned this is not a good and honorable group to do business with. Please share with other regions, car clubs etc. More

1968 Coronet - Orlando store - July 2019 Yes, I purchased the car "AS IS", I understand that with a used car, especially one that is 50 years old there is a high opportunity for issues. I al Yes, I purchased the car "AS IS", I understand that with a used car, especially one that is 50 years old there is a high opportunity for issues. I also expect the sales guys to have enough integrity when it comes to classic cars to be up front and honest not your typical "used car salesman". The car is great as far as the undercarriage, body is in good condition, the paint is very nice and the interior is fair to good. The dash will need a lot of electrical work, but it was purchased as is. However, the engine does NOT have only 500 miles since overhaul or restoration, like the add clearly states. The car arrived with very little coolant in the system, what was there was dirty and thick like mud. The oil was about a quart low and also very old and dirty. I am very concerned about the engine, I have built photos and it appears that the engine has been misrepresented. I have reached out to Kevin the sales guy, isn't it funny when I have a concern they go radio silent, but when I am buying the phone hardly rings before I have a reply.....the customer service should go well beyond the initial romance for the sale, the sale, but well into the delivery and follow up.

Buyer beware. When you contact these guys about their cars the first thing that comes out is "we mechanically inspect all our cars, we check for fluid leaks and ru When you contact these guys about their cars the first thing that comes out is "we mechanically inspect all our cars, we check for fluid leaks and rust". Well, that sounds good but the reality is as follows. I bought a 1987 300zx. On the website it looked gorgeous. Then it was delivered. The tires had dry rot. Steel belts where showing through the rubber. Damaged to the right front valance . Could not see it in the pictures and was not revealed in the description. Parked the car in my garage. Next morning, transmission fluid on the floor. The clutch is going out. The suspension system is shot. I had to have a new catalytic converter installed I had to have it tuned The last two items were so that the car would pass emissions. So far I am into this car an additional 2000 dollars. When you sell on line, transparency is a must. The descriptions of the cars must be precise and accurate. I have been to used car lots that that I would trust over these losers. If I had to do it over again. I would not. I am very sorry I bought from these guys. Learn from my mistakes. More
