Streetside Classics

All I have to say is that if you buy a vehicle sight unseen from Streetside, Ebay, BringaTrailer, wherever, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. Check out the vehicle yourself or use someone you trust.

Period. Did you miss the 'as-is where- is' part? Believe me, I speak from experience. And I know better!

I've been burned by auction houses and BringaTrailer but I can only fault myself. I sold a couple of cars myself through Streetside and all were running/ driving cars that I had put alot into. One car was purchased by a guy sight unseen. His plan was to drive the car from Texas to Colorado.

Pretty ambituous when it became clear that he knew almost nothing about old cars. Dealer calls me and says that the guy got 200 miles down the road and it quit! Somebody told him it was the voltage regulator which I told the selling dealer was a brand new unit.

I put him in touch with a local guy who has a vintage British car shop and the guy had a regulator overnighted to him. But that was nothing that either I or the selling dealer had to do sye

I purchased a 1982 chevy which looked to be in perfect condition, that should have been a red flag. Since I live in Texas and the vehicle was in Tennessee I didn't get to actually go look at it.

I did ask how the vehicle ran and was informed by the salesman it ran strong down the road. Well I can only say that was a straight up impossibility . When it finally arrived I was busy and pointed to where he should drop it off at. I finally got a chance to look at it and the delivery driver was in a hurry and I understand since I was busy as he unloaded it.

I went to start it after he left and it made a god awful grinding noise and after checking to make sure it even had oil in it tried again . That's when I realised that it had issues. Turns out major ones, starter was not matching flexplate so it was grinding when you start, after it started I had to used both hands to turn the steering wheel because the power steering gear box or pump was bad. turned out probably both the frame where the gearbox is mounted has been welded so not sure how I can get that fixed.

barley moves due to transmission not shifting properly. That's when I realised I was taken to the cleaners what a *** way to run a business. I cant even get it legal to drive in the state of Texas without some major repairs , and when I told Streetside Classic they should have been honest no reply, when I left a message on there site finally the manager said he didn't see that it was a problem .

The bank is pissed because I am refusing to pay for a vehicle that I can not drive. It would be different if the one getting me the loan hadn't said she has been working with Cody for a long time and he was an honest guy.

They bought property called Shelby acres get the name Shelby like mustang Brian her brother mistreated his own daughter because I turned him in I'm a military veteran disabled they would not renew my lease your money funds them they are wicked no account people boycott them do not purchase from them instead let them know you will not stand for this I will try to send a picture with this post Brian's daughter 12 years old being made to ride home in the pouring down rain and I reported him to children's services and families protective they would not renew my lease these people do not care about you or me I'm a veteran and they do not care your money makes all this possible I will try and find out how I can show a picture of what I witnessed her name is Bree Brian's daughter pouring down rain

Ad said the truck was well maintained, salesman insured it was a sweet rust free well maintained vehicle ready to enjoy. Upon receiving the truck it needed all 4 brakes, tires, wheels bearings, rotors , drums, King pins, starter, flywheel , carb , steering box and motor mounts. and I found a streetside classic sign under the seat that said DO NOT DRIVE UNSAFE NO BRAKES~

I recently purchased a 1967 Oldsmobile from the Nashville Streetside Classics dealership.

When the car was delivered to me it did not have brakes. After the car was unloaded, i drove it up my driveway.

When i stepped on the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. I managed to stop just short of going thru the back of my garage. When i looked under the car, there was a big puddle of brake fluid trailing my car and on my garage floor.

Here's my question: How could this happen? In your video you show the car being driven.

I also had a 3rd party inspection done on the car. He reported that the brakes were working. When i decide to have this fixed, it will need to be towed to the service center.

Why is it you sell a car with no brakes?? This is not a way to keep clientele.

I don't expect the car to be perfect, but i except for 30 thousand dollars it will at least be drivable. The car is in storage now for Winter, so I won't be having it fixed until Spring.

I show cars at many show around Northeast Ohio. Right now your company will not be getting favorable responses, when I am asked where I purchased the car from.

Regards.

I flew to phoenix to purchase a beautiful car and it exceeded my expectations. Before I got in the driver seat. I wasn't able to test drive it so I had the seller do so. everything seemed great. I wasn't able to drive because I was told it had a reverse manual valve body tranny (the automatic has to be shifted). the sales lady said it did because she didn't know what it was! anyway we took a short cruise up and down the alley and it rode and ran well. so I bought it. Upon "expedited delivery" ($700 extra paid for 1-2 day delivery). When the car came 4 days later instead of what I was told would be 1-2 days, I paid $700 extra dollars on top of the $400 for absolutely nothing! The car. first impression, the brakes were spongy, it didn't have a reverse manual valve body transmission as I was told so I was trying to shift. I called and pam the sales lady and she said it had an automatic-no idea what I was talking about with shifting an automatic car... but she said yes when I asked. I let it go at that point but the number of other issues put me over the top.

First, brakes. master cylinder on 4 disc wildwood system shot. Motor, I was told it was a 383 motor stroked to a 408 but it turned out to be an older cheaper 360 Mopar A motor stroked to a 408. The headlights, pointed all over the place and the adjustment screws were rusted and shot. The driver door only opened from the inside. The window crank took a body builder to turn. The new carpeting was cheaply and stupidly cut and stapled to wood interior inserts...-on a $40,000 car... The alternator was shot and wouldn't charge the battery which was also no good! So new battery $130, Alternator and labor $700, brakes estimated cost $800 (they're being worked on now, door and window repair $400, reverse manual trans body $300/ installation est. $800-$1000, shipping $700, not to mention the 383 motor I was lied to about. 360 block cost compared to a 383 block? A lot of money

time for me to do all this and miss work? THOUSANDS

do the math for a turn key car... low estimate? $3730 in parts and labor to have a drivable car

Without my wasted time
