There’s “the real thing” and the imposters. And anyone looking for a good deal should be forewarned! For instance, if you enjoy an excellent social media meme, there are examples of what people think they’re buying online and what is delivered.
That “James Bond” style tux ordered at a bargain basement price on an unknown website? One of those long-sleeve t-shirts with a tux stamped up arrives in the mailbox. Or maybe someone was fooled by a website offering custom-made classic car accessories for cheap, only to find they got precisely what they paid for!
The same situation is possible when it comes time to market a classic car. Except in reverse, because this time you have something to sell. But you’re looking for a reasonably inexpensive way to get that classic Jaguar or Porsche sold quickly. Visiting a car dealer who “dabbles” in buying and selling classic autos may seem like a good option until you realize they are only cosplaying at it.
And selling to a buyer who doesn’t understand the value of a real classic car, like a 1964 Jaguar E-type Roadster is trouble. The old luxury sportscar may need some body work and upgrades to the interior. But it has low miles and all the original components. This classic car is a diamond in the rough! But all a so-called car dealer sees is a quick way to make some extra money and lowball an offer. The dealer is looking for a “good deal” at your expense!
