Default Are theses guys reputable Sellers?

Does anyone have experience buying from www.GatewayClassicCars.com ?

I am thinking about ditching the rotary and going classic. I know exactly the car I want, and they have it.

They seem to have a sh!t ton of classics all the time. How do they keep such an inventory? Are they reputable sellers?

I've noticed a lot of "Believed to be XX,XXX actual miles, but cannot verify!"
And they have a disclaimer on every page "All Vehicles are sold AS-IS "
I understand the legalities of selling vehicles, and they are obviously protecting themself. I just want to make sure they have a good reputation.

oh, I see. so more than likely they are selling the car for someone else for a fee?

Thanks for the info.

What would be some questions to ask or things to look out for when buying a classic?

How can I verify "matching numbers"?

Is there a place I can go to find out what the car in question came with when it was built? Not sure if CarFacts would work or not...

Figure out just what you want out of the car you want to buy. Do you need matching #'s ? If you are on this site you are hanging with guys that for the most part couldn't give a *** about #'s matching. I like everything so I put up with these guys. What kind of car do you like ?
