Inheriting precious automobiles from loving family members is a sweet experience but not always easy to manage. In the “olden days,” grandparents would will their dining room sets and fine China to help the younger ones with a new home. That was the idea, anyway. How many people have the “family China” gathering dust in an antique cabinet?
Most of the time, loved ones mean well. They might honestly want the things they enjoyed to be appreciated by a new generation. Has anyone received that beloved Hummel collection that Grandma cared about? What about your great-uncle’s extensive antique rifle stockpile? People who care for us may mean well, but once you inherit something, it’s your responsibility. And what are you going to do with it? Leave it in a box in the garage?
Some inherited items may seem “cool,” but do they fit in with your lifestyle? That original Mid-Century Modern leather lounge chair and ottoman might just fit in the apartment. And keeping that old record player and record collection doesn’t seem so hard. But what about the inherited item that’s too big for your space?
Is that classic car a goldmine or a garage queen?
What if you received a car? If it’s a standard car, such as a 2010 Toyota, that’s an easy thing to manage. Either use it or sell it off, giving the pink slip to someone who needs a used car. However, when it’s a classic car, such as a 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 Cabriolet, what to do with it becomes more complicated. Especially if you don’t frequent classic car circles.
The good news is that our team is ready to help someone who has inherited a classic sports car. There are several things we can do to alleviate the burden from your shoulders. As passionate classic car professionals, we are always ready to help someone new to the classic car universe. One thing we recommend is to allow us to provide a classic Porsche Evaluation. Unlike Grandma’s Hummel collection, a vintage sports car will have real value. We offer valuations, appraisals, and fast cash offers for Porsche, Jaguar, and BMWs.
And if you’re not ready to sell it but need storage space, we can help store it for you. Professional classic car storage will provide a safe place to retain the current value of the old Porsche while you decide what to do next.
If, after a thorough evaluation of your classic Porsche, you decide to sell, we will offer a fair cash offer. And we’ll even handle the shipping arrangements! Finally, we offer a consignment option for luxury classic cars, such as Porsches, Jaguars, and Mercedes. This option allows us to retain the car on-site and broker offers from classic car collectors and enthusiasts. It’s also hassle-free for the owner since our team handles the inquiries and paperwork during the sale. All you need to do is agree to the price!
