Used convertibles for sale near Mitchell, IL

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.

This is a great and fun car to drive and also a great investment. It's like putting money in the bank. It also attracts a lot of attention.

They were super helpful, but never found what I was looking for. Gateway said they would kept looking for me.

Overall everything went well. The requesting of the original owner for the vehicle keys was never done as I was never notified of a reply.

I fell in love with car when it was new and didn’t have my own until decades later. I bought an in line 6, swapped the engine, and rear end. CJ Pony parts is awesome. Plug and play. Be prepared to drop 30k on your 20k “investment”, live life and have fun!!! All you need is a Phillips screw driver, an SAE socket set, and a credit card.

Great timed replies and working to get my price and dtermine location of unit.amen

You guys at the dealer ship are awesome, the transport, not so good,but i found one,Thank yall so much

327/350hp Muncie close ratio 4 speed hard top convertible. Red, beautiful, affordable (at this time). Fun to drive. Gets tons of looks, waves. Best word to describe how it looks, voluptuous!

This is a great reliable classic car that looks amazing. The interior is brand new and the paint was done nicely. A great car that will only appreciate in the future.

What do you get in a fox body? Well you get the legendary reliability of the Windsor V8, you get an intoxicating sound, you get a comfortable interior, and easy to work on platform. You get a car that's fun to drive.. While by today's standards they are slow, they still make gobs of torque, and that makes it fun, the RWD platform is a noodle in convertible trim, and a rattle trap in Hatch trim, but they have held up very well over the years. Things to watch out for are Rear main seal leaks, oil pan gasket leaks, and rust. At this point in time, they have been beaten on, hot-rodded, and tossed around, they didn't have the best build quality from the factory, and panel gaps are a mile wide. These aren't daily drivers any longer, but they make fantastic, cheap entertainment for a bargain price. Fully restored factory fresh examples should get 20k, while a very nice reliable driver quality should fetch no more than 7K. It is important to check strut towers for rust at the seam, if there is any rust, walk away. In convertibles check the windshield and the rear torque boxes, as they tend to tweak, if they are tweaked, it has been beaten or wrecked and rebuilt.. walk away. Low mileage cars should be avoided, all of the factory seals were cork, and dry rot from sitting. However if you find a well maintained, higher mileage car, they are a bargain.. blast... and you should feel confident buying them.. This is not a beginners car, it will put you in a ditch if you aren't careful in anything but dry weather. An important note is the top on convertibles, the mechanism is hydraulic, and expensive, if it doesn't work, walk away.. The top itself is cheap, but very in-depth at re-installation, which can cost 2k for the installation.. if it needs a top, negotiate that into the cost.. a driver with a bad top is a 4-5k dollar car.. don't over pay..

Great value for the money. Safely and reliably drive anywhere. Has never left me high and dry while driving to/from car shows and cruise nights.

Revheads is the BEST in the business for finding, promoting, and selling classic cars. It’s a family owned and operated business, touches of this are displayed throughout the dealership. Damon will take care of you like family, he is passionate about his cars and clients.

It was great car everbody want drive and ride in it on the weekends i would recommend a ford mustang to any one

Excellent sales experience. Professional and respectful. Fair on the trade in. Todd was very easy to work with. He stayed late to close the paperwork.

This is my first Porsche and I am hooked. A fabulous convertible that has been an absolute joy to drive and own. I have not had any mechanical issues.

I found the exact car I was searching for and this dealership was above my expectations during the buying process.

Such a great car, so fun to drive in the summer. Such a skibidi ride with the most sigmas getting called to it. Thank you vw.

I bought this car for the look & performance (more powerful than the A5). Cockpit layout is fantastic and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Enjoy the ventilated front seats which has kept me cool during the heat of this past summer. Smooth handling and acceleration. #Audi #S5 #Cabriolet #Supercharged

Just like BMW advertises, this car is designed for the driving enthusiast. I enjoy every moment behind the wheel. It is very fast yet reasonably economical. It is an excellent compromise between a family car and a sports car.

Great place and service department. Always a pleasure to be there. Friendly staff. No place I'd rather go.

This is a very nice car for enjoying a drive or making a quick trip too the store . Not for dojng any big shopping or for carrying more then 1 or 2 poeple along . The vehicles comfort is only for the front 2 seats …

IT was a very enjoyable experience. I will truly recommend you all to family and friends. From the beginning to the end of the process was awesome.

I bought a GT Premium/California Special and love it. It has more bells and whistles than any Mustang I have ever owned. The Mustang is well insulated and is a solid vehicle.
