Streetside Classics - Nashville

Scott and Kelly both very cordial, professional, and helpful My original contact was with someone at the Carolina dealership (sorry I can't remember his name) and he immediately set the tone for an organization My original contact was with someone at the Carolina dealership (sorry I can't remember his name) and he immediately set the tone for an organization I wanted to do business with. When the Nashville dealership contacted me I found the same professional tone with Scott. There was no question this was the people who could best find a buyer for my cherished classic. He explained and demonstrated your sales model thoroughly. Your showroom is impressive. Scott was open, honest and fair as we negotiated a price. As we checked the internet for the presentation of our car it exceeded expectations. The sale took only a few weeks. When Kelly contacted us with the details for closing the transaction, no one could have been more helpful. As we arrived at the dealership to sign the title and collect the check, although we had not arranged a day we would be arriving, she must have recognized us in the parking lot and greeted us at the front door. Our five-star impression was complete as Kelly finished our sale. We have told a number of people about Streetside when they ask whether the car has sold. Thank you Scott and Kelly for making this experience of selling our cherished classic easier. More

I found the car online I was looking for as a birthday present for my wife, but Working with Lucas and Kelley at Streetside Classics was a pleasure. I found the car online I was looking for as a birthday present for my wife, but was concerned about buying it sight unseen. Lucas answered all of my questions, set me up with an inspector, arranged for the car to be detailed, and coordinated the delivery so that it arrived in time for her birthday. It couldn’t have a been a smoother process and they did a great job of addressing all of my concerns. The car is great and has been my wife loves it. Thank you! More

I would highly recommend Streetside Cla Andrew, Scott and Brad went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for me (Seller of a 1969 Z28). I would highly recommend Streetside Classics to anyone considering selling their classic car. The work the team did in marketing and advertising my car on the internet was top notch. The photos, video and the description on my car was top notch. They took most of the hassle and worry out of selling. Randy S. Hooten, CPA More

A Great Business Model Coming on the heels of selling a classic car through Streetside Classics DFW, I stumbled upon a gorgeous 2002 Thunderbird online at the Nashville loca Coming on the heels of selling a classic car through Streetside Classics DFW, I stumbled upon a gorgeous 2002 Thunderbird online at the Nashville location. After watching one almost identical to it sell at Streetside Tampa, I decided to make an offer on the remaining one in Nashville. My call was answered by David Stafford. I presented my offer and he, in turn, presented it to the owner. When my initial offer was rejected, David came back and told me what the owner's final offer was. Still too high, I left my final offer with David. When I saw the dealer number come up on caller i.d., I just figured it was a rejection. I was thrilled when my offer was accepted, and I have a feeling it was the way that David presented the offer to the owner. I really appreciated all the follow up that David offered, both by email and by phone. He referred me to a contact at JJ Best Banc for financing, which was all done by phone and email within a day's time. A shout out also goes to Kelly Archibald, office manager, who got my title and paperwork to me in two business days, which was great so that I could go ahead and register my beautiful Tbird here in Dallas! Thank you David Stafford, Kelly Archibald and the caring staff at Streetside Classics Nashville--such a great business model for the seller and the buyer! More

OCD - Organization, Character, Discipline (read notes below) This is how I would characterize the overall consignment and sales process with Streetside Classics Nashville. Scott Hayer made every step of the pro This is how I would characterize the overall consignment and sales process with Streetside Classics Nashville. Scott Hayer made every step of the process easy to understand and follow, and he stayed in touch with me on a regular basis, to keep me informed of the progress in locating a new owner for my 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. It was a tough decision to sell this vehicle after 12 years of ownership, but it was time to find it a new home, one where it could be driven... muscle cars are meant to be driven! Thank you Scott for consistently managing my expectations well... I would recommend this dealership to anyone who has the desire to sell or purchase a muscle car or specialty vehicle. More

Totally Awesome experience, front to back! 5 out of 5 stars - David Stafford was GREAT representing the 1992 Cadillac Allante I recently purchased. The entire purchase process took about 6 days 5 out of 5 stars - David Stafford was GREAT representing the 1992 Cadillac Allante I recently purchased. The entire purchase process took about 6 days. There were no phone calls because I prefer to negotiate by e-mail. I appreciated how David picked up on my style and adopted my style, as his style. I e-mailed, so he e-mailed. I liked the car but I had a list of concerns. Stafford took my list, pulled the car out and went through each item and reported back with the good, the bad and the ugly. (Of course it was mostly good) I loved the entire purchasing process with Streetside Classics, Nashville, Tennessee. I was in Palm Beach, Florida but my brother, who really has no interest in cars, lives in Nashville. I sent him into see the car in person and David Stafford met with him, demonstrated the features and let him test drive the car. I ended up paying just "slightly more" that I wanted to pay but I'm OK with that because of the ease, fun and professionalism of Streetside Classics, Nashville and particularly David Stafford. The car I purchased was "on consignment" so Stafford had to go back and forth between me and the owner just like a Real Estate agent. What made this even better was after "the deal was made" the owner offered up his file of dealer invoices and receipts to go with the car. If you have ever purchased a classic car you can appreciate how valuable this can be. The owner also provided his mobile "top stand" made to cradle the removable hardtop when not in use. These 2 extras, after the deal was secure, made the purchase feel all the more personal. Being in the Real Estate business I really do equate my experience with Streetside Classics and David Stafford like purchasing a house. After the owner and buyer come together the owner says: "Y'all can have the lawn mower and all the tools in the shed because we're moving into a condo." I have several classic and antique cars and I'm thrilled I stumbled upon these fine folks at Streetside Classics Nashville. What a FIRST CLASS operation. Thank you Streetside Classics Nashville and David Stafford! Oh, yeah.....I don't want to forget Kelley Archibald, the Office Manager. She was very professional and prompt in setting the expectations for me and following through with the monies and title work. Kelley and David are valuable partners with Streetside Classics Nashville. Thank you guys. More

BUYER BEWARE Streetside Classics cannot guarantee that what they are selling is factual. Meaning they have no way of guaranteeing that what the seller tells them Streetside Classics cannot guarantee that what they are selling is factual. Meaning they have no way of guaranteeing that what the seller tells them has been modified to the car has actually been done. You are better off buying a car from an individual and not paying a premium, or a salesperson commission, at Streetside . They do not inspect any vehicle that comes in for authentication. Any seller could tell them anything about work being done and they will just take that as fact. My guess is they prefer this as they can get a higher price and thus a better commission and increased corporate profits. I know as they did this to me when I bought a 1996 Bronco from them. Here is my story. After looking around for some time in search of a 90’s Bronco, I found one that looked great at Streetside. After talking with the salesman about the car and reading the description, I believed the Bronco I was interested in had substantial engine work done. The mileage was about 147,000 with the work being done at around 145,000 miles. Here is the description from Streetside about work that was done: “The fuel-injected V8 was rebuilt with upgrades such as Comp Cams camshaft, 1.7 rockers, MSD ignition, Champion Cooling four-row radiator, and Delk Performance Switch Chip. All of this feeds into Bassani headers that help give this enhanced Bronco an added rumble. Best of all, you have complete control over this powerful package thanks to an upgrade to a ZF five-speed manual transmission.” The original seller had given Streetside this description. I sent a pre-purchase inspector to look at the Bronco and after going over the car and test driving it he gave me the report as satisfactory and I negotiated a price with them to buy the car. I picked it up in Nashville and drove it home to New Jersey where I live. Now, I know I am buying a used car. I am aware of the risk associated with this. However, after having the car for 4 months and driving it about 3,000 miles, I developed a knock on my right valve cover. I took it to my mechanic where he informed me that the engine was a disaster inside. The kicker is that the 1.7 rockers that were listed in the description where in fact never put in. They were 1.6 rockers and were not the right size for the pushrods. Here is the work I have had to overhaul the engine that was claimed to have already been overhauled: New lifters New Push-rods New Rocker-arms (as the ones they claimed were in the engine were not 1.7’s but 1.6’s) New Camshaft A complete valve job The issue I have is that the information presented to me was false. If the rockers being described were not the rockers in the car, what else was falsified in the description? I have been back and forth with Streetside Classics about how they misinformed me and they have told me it’s not their fault. They just sell other people’s cars and are not mechanics. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE AND DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IS FACT. I PAID A PREMIUM FOR A CAR I THOUGHT WAS MECHANICALLY SOUND ONLY TO BE LEFT WITH $5,000 BILL TO DO WORK THAT I WAS TOLD WAS DONE. More
