Bought a 79 Corvette end of Jan 2019. When I test drove the car told the owner I smelled burning oil. He said no it was paint residue. When I got the car home, the next day, driveway full of oil stains under the car. Brought the car back and it took them 3 visits and total of six weeks to repair the oil leak.
Days after I picked it up the engine was making a loud metal grinding sound. I called them back when I was stranded far from home. Secretary said you have no warranty and we wil charge you $150 per hr to diagnose and fix whatever is wrong. I consulted another mechanic who strongly suggested that the oil pan was not reinstalled properly and this was probably the cause of the noise.
What was so dissappointing was when I showed up at the dealer with a certified check for the purchase, they were all smiles. But when it came to getting the car right so I could actually drve it, they couldnt be bothered. They left me with the feeling that they only sell the cars and when they do, your'e on your own. My dream car purchase at 63 yrs old has been a nightmare due to this dealer not caring about customer satisfaction. I would avoid this classic car dealer.
