Used convertibles for sale near St. Libory, 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.

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

The 1963-1967 Corvette Sting Ray, known as the C2, is one of the most loved American cars ever. The classic body style is more than 50 years old, yet it looks like something that could come out next year. The back end of the vehicle is designed after the stingray marine animal. Over the 5 year run of the Sting Ray body style, there were many engine options available. The car was available as a coupe or convertible and in a departure from usual production runs, the coupes were actually more rare. The cars were fast, stylish and handled exceptionally well for the time. I was fortunate enough to buy one more than 30 years ago and I still own it today.

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.

For a muscle car, it is my opinion that the chevrolet camaro is the best bang for the buck, Reliable and comfortable to drive. Gas mileage is not too bad also. I would also add that the camaro has a pretty good following and has a good resale value

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

My 1990 mustang gt 5.0 5 spd has over 200.000 miles . Still gets 20-23 miles to a gallon combined . A/C still works. Had 1 clutch change never had the valve covers changed.

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

Driving this car makes you know what it's like to b a Rock Star!!! Everywhere you go people go wild for this car!!!

I bought a 93 Corvette and I can't stop driving it. It's a very cool car.I would buy a dozen Corvette if I had the room.I have wanted a Corvette for 55 years. Now at 70 years old this December I got a cool Corvette.

The car was a 270 HP 4 speed & had great acceleration for any 50's car. Drove like a truck yet made me smile every time I took it out. So pretty in my eyes, I'd have given it a 10 star for looks if I could. A great investment too, bought in 1987 & sold for nearly 4 times the price in 2009. Yes, I miss it. It was white with red interior & got great comments every time it went out. Drove the car 40 to 80 times per year for the 22 years I owned it.

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.

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.

I have owned my pony for 4 years now. The only repair I had was a fuel pump 2 years ago. Every little button still works, it is fast(but not superfast yet) and it looks soooo cool! The main reason I went with this Mustang over a Vette, is it is way easier to get in and out of for an older guy. It has all the standard amenities you could want. And did I mention how cool you look in a red Pony convertible when you squawk the tires???

Absolutely love it, just got a California special at age 16, and man isn't it beautiful, day and night I can't stop loving that car.

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.

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.

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..

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!
