Used 1981 Chevrolet Corvette for sale near Birmingham, MI

Very courteous. Willing to provide more help. Yard support was very patient “Kate” ? Thank you

It's been 7 years since I wrote my last review on the same car . Not much has changed since then. I have made a few up grades each year. Bluetooth for an unbelievable concert type sound with or without the T-tops on , Added heat deflective padding under the carpeting and went with a new AC system for really hot summer days. Prices are a bit higher to get into the 80 to 82 models. These ride so much better than the 68 to 79 years. Also, they look cleaner with the built-in rear spoiler. From kids to older adults, Parts are a breeze still to get and its going on 43 years old. You get a lot of thumbs up with smiles on the road with this classic

Took ‘25 Palisade in for first service. Edgar was excellent, explaining the service in detail and reviewing any costs (there were none). Just over an hour later, the car was done, including an exterior wash. Edgar went over all items in the service, including the front end alignment check. I left very satisfied with the service.

Beautiful color combination for 1981. Rides much better than previous corvettes I have had due to the fiberglass rear spring.

I recently bought my Corvette from Corvette Warehouse and worked with Wes. He made the entire process incredibly easy from start to finish. I had the car shipped from Dallas, Texas to Irvine, California, and they handled all the paperwork and transport details for me. The whole process was seamless, and I loved that the shipment was fully tracked the entire way. The car arrived in perfect condition. Honestly, it looked even better than it did online! No issues whatsoever, just a smooth and professional experience all around. If you’re looking for a Corvette and want a stress-free buying process, definitely ask for Wes. He’ll take great care of you!

Great car! Needs just a little work to be a show room car!! It has been my favorite car I've owned! Time to get a newer truck though.

Responded quickly with info, pictures and a video of the car. Very professional. I would recommend them.

This car has been a truly great show car. I've enjoyed winning trophies with it. It has always been garage kept and is in great condition with 29,000+ original miles, all original

Beautiful classic’s automobiles And very selective on their business, I planning to buy one soon.

I LOVE THIS CAR ! EASY TO MAINTAIN, LOOKS THAT ARE CLASSIC WITH A TRUE SPORTS CAR FEEL. OH SURE, YOU CAN OWN A MORE REFINED CAR WITH PLUSH INTERIOR AND A STEREO THAT WHILE DRIVING SOUNDS SO PURE , YOU COULD BE SITTING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM. BUT THEN WHY NOT STAY IN YOUR LIVING ROOM AND SAVE THE GAS ? THIS CAR TOUCHES ALL OF YOUR SENSES (EXCEPT TASTE). INSURANCE IS DIRTY CHEAP. I PAY $185.00 FOR FULL COVERAGE FOR A YEAR ! NEED PARTS .....GO TO NAPA THEY HAVE IT ALL, AND NOT AT SOME OVER INFLATED PRICE

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

Worked with Chris Harty at the Traverse City location. He maintains a detailed knowledge of each vehicle and helped clarify my decision between two vehicles. Throughout the process Chris was completely candid and offered positive details along with issues and areas likely in need of some work. Very honest throughout the buying process and negotiations. Hope to do business with him again!

Purchased a certified used vehicle and actually discussed the analysis with with the Technician. A minor issue was identified and corrected by Conely Auto. Great experience.

recently bought a truck. never bought a vehicle in this type of setting so was skeptical. Requested permission take vehicle to personal mechanic and fee was $500 that would not be returned if any issue other than engine or drive train was compromised. This was a redflag--as if to discourage discovery. Because it had a salvage title this evaluation by a certified mechanic was essential. The mechanic evaluation checked out OK so it appears that the company does put some effort into selectivity of vehicles in terms of operational quality and safety. Michael was the salesperson and was able to answer all questions; selling process was smooth. There was a front end shimmy on the test drive and the issue was fixed (tire balance). I was told by Michael to contact him if the issue persisted--that was appreciated. Overall process was good but would still feel more comfortable if autos were " guaranteed" for at least a reasonable time frame wihout an extra charge--but took that risk . So far seems like I got lucky, saved a bundle with a vehicle that runs great with no overt issues. I noticed that in some of the reviews that I read the owner responded to those that had raised concerns. That's commendable--shows concern for others and his reputation

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

East Coast Auto got right back to me by telephone. I was disappointed b cause the car I was interested in was already sold. They invited me to look at other cars at their dealership. Very nice and professional .

Everyone at the dealership was great to deal with. The technician who took me to look at the vehicle was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He also gave me great advice on what to do with the vehicle in terms of restoration work that would save me money and time in the long run, while still making sure I would get the best work done on the vehicle. Great experience!
