Used coupes for sale near Berkeley, MO

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.

2002 was the end of the line for performance cars at Pontiac. The Firebird and Trans Am were iconic muscle cars that helped define the genre. I was lucky in finding 1 of 2000 Collector Edition models with super low miles. The car runs strong, handles well, and still looks great 19 years later. The interior is dated but nobody buys a Trans Am for the interior. It is still fast and fun to drive. Getting a 4th generation Firebird is more economical then buying a project and restoring/modifying it to meet modern standards. This car is for serious drivers to are tired of the current run of the mill cookie-cutter tin can cars today, and it is half the price of current muscle car remnants, it can still keep up with most of them too!

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.

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

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.

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

It has 1972 front turn signal lights not a 1971. The grill is a 1971 though. I would know for I OWN a 1972 SS Chevelle.

I have never owned a Mercedes-Benz I’ve always owned a BMW. I have to say I really love this vehicle. It rides smooth, the seats are very comfortable, it has so many functions for a 2010, I was extremely surprised. The color of the vehicle was listed as arctic white however it’s more of a cream color vehicle. If I could change the color I most likely would. But it’s still very beautiful. The vehicle only had 13,562 miles. The interior looks and smells brand new. The exterior is extremely designed well. It’s a beautiful car. I’ve only driven it one day because I’ve only had it one day. As time goes on I will then be able to make an accurate review. My younger sister will purchase my vehicle if I choose to sell.

I would only recommend this care for those who are willing to work on it and are okay with it breaking down. This care is nearly 40 years old (as of this review) and most of them with low miles sit and when driven the problems begin to bubble to the surface. So if you are unwilling to need to work on it but still want a corvette my suggestion is to get a c6 or newer.

I've had a my 1965 Mustang GT High Performance Convertible since my Dad bought me one new for making the Dean's List in High School and the Varsity Tennis team--May 1, 1965 Dad Paid $4,020,80 for this comfy manual 4-speed, front disc brakes, fog lamps, front seat belts, center console, AM Radio, with a Tachometer and Clock: My Father Believed that Power was safety when Passing cars--He wanted me to have the "Special Handling Package" for solid control which came with this model with manual steering, brakes, power top and front seat belts: His faith in me for handling a powerful car only made me drive that much safer--I never let him down; no tickets, no accidents, and I kept the car waxed, clean and garaged--saving the paint and interior as best I could--but it did need a new top and interior, and an engine overhaul after 150,000 miles in 1986--I read a review here where a man said it handles poorly--that may have been true with the basic model $2600 bare bones car but certainly not with the front disc brakes, 4-speed manual transmission and the "Special Handling Package" with Limited Slip--My car is very cozy and I've driven as far as Aptos CA to Everett WA in one haul, 1400 miles in 22 hours with a few rest stops, meals, good tunes, a warm heater, and comfort; and, were talking a convertible! Like any car one needs to read the manual to keep the car in shape and avoid breakdowns--If one follows the owners manual one will avoid any problems. I recall only one time over 700,000 miles I needed a tow truck for a faulty Alternator--my bad as this should be changed every 75,000 miles and I'd let it go over 125,000--AAA tow was free and the cost of a new Alternator was 29 bucks! Parts are inexpensive as over a 1/2 million of these cars were made in 1965 when we bought mine in May 1965 . My car has gone up in value ever year, is great for work or vacation with 2 kids--I get 18 miles to the gallon all around and can get 22 without my foot in it. it is now valued at $75,000 in Good Condition (mines a tad better as I've always had a garage); not bad for a car my Dad paid $4,020.80 for 56 years and 10 months ago.

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.

I have driven two firebirds, a 3800 v6 and a LT1 v8, both cars were great. The only complaints are in the interior, being an older car the plastic doesn’t hold up well. The 3800 v6 is the best engine ever made for a daily driver, absolutely reliable and almost impossible to blow up. I do some hard driving in my completely stock v6 and it has lasted extremely well. The v6 also has plenty of power, I even beat a friend in a v8 challenger in a drag race once, though he was not a very good driver.

I love driving my t top firebird runs great and still looks good.only 97,000 miles on a 1996 would buy a new one if they still made them.

I had a 97 formula T-Top with the LT1, the stock mufflerwasn't all that but the Flowmaster was a compliment to the 5.7L 350 cubic inch V8.it road comfortably from the driver seat but the back seats you either had your knees up in your face or the front passenger seat all in your grill. You are driving one of the elite machines setting in the Pontiac cockpit. I enjoyed just starting that car the rumble and the roar when it fired and the humble rumble while crusin along and 70mph was it's sweet spot their wasn't a curve it couldn't handle at 70 just let off the gas and it would glide steady and that my friend is a different perspective of comfortable. I got several careless but doing 105 in a 50 got me a wreckless driving. But it's been nearly 30yrs and I still dream about that car I hope to get another one someday

Had it for 6months best car I ever drove I was 19 with a stick shift dual exhaust black on black coupe... Speechless

Own and driven the 1992 EU build black color T-Top v6 from late 90's to 2003. If I could I still will drive it but I moved after 03 from Germany to Thailand and the car was standing all the time till 2010 without moving it. They are rare in Europe to get especially the last models from 1998 to 2002. With luck I get maybe once for a normal second hand price and not a collectors price one again, no matter v6 or v8 just the last model made till 2002. I saw prices today for v6 99' convertible by 12.800 EUR and a lot more for v8 engine WS6 starting at 16.000 EUR.
