Streetside Classics - Nashville

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

Professional, Courteous, Responsive, Excellent Communication I was very pleased with the services of Streetside Classics Nashville. Upon submitting my 66 Lincoln Continental through their easy-to-use website, th I was very pleased with the services of Streetside Classics Nashville. Upon submitting my 66 Lincoln Continental through their easy-to-use website, they were very quick to follow-up with me and explain the consignment process. After I dropped it off and they arranged to have it detailed, I thought the car had never looked better when they posted it online. The photos, video and car description were very impressive. I contacted David Stafford about one minor correction in the car description and it was immediately updated. Throughout the time that they had it listed, Brad stayed in touch with me about level of interested buyers, pricing suggestions, etc. He called me ever so often to check in. When it was time to sell, I felt everyone's empathy when I had to say goodbye to my beloved car. I'm grateful that they made the experience easy and successful. I would recommend them to handle anyone's classic auto sale. More

Exceptional Professionalism and Service Imagining buying a Classic Car from a dealer you haven't visit and a salesman you haven't met. Well that is the core of my experience. After inquiri Imagining buying a Classic Car from a dealer you haven't visit and a salesman you haven't met. Well that is the core of my experience. After inquiring about a classic ford mustang from Streetside Classic, Nashville and was told that the car was slated for sale, a customer made a deposit on the car, I met Norman Lucas. Lucas introduced me to a 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1, https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/0513-nsh/1972-ford-mustang-mach-1 We negotiate the price, and once we settled on a price, he was off and running. His attention to details and overall honesty about the condition of the car was remarkable. He is extremely knowledgeable and and above all very responsive. You can imagine that I was a constant bother with questions by the minute and Lucas was equal to the task, painstakingly taking the time to respond to all my questions, By the time I was ready to complete the transaction, I felt like an expert myself. It didn't stop there, after delivery, here I was with my first classic and Lucas, The after sales service was unbelievable, He is still answering my questions and working with me to learn my new car. I am totally happy with my new purchase and may not have made the purchase if it was not for the professionalism, experience, and patience of a good salesman More
