classic car liquidators in Texas

Has anyone ever been down to classic car liquidators in Sherman Texas. I see them all over ebay and craigslist with tons of C10's. I was wondering if anyone has bought a truck from them or just gone and checked them out?

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

I knew a guy that bought a Camaro from them. No problem deal although the car was pretty ate up with rust and he didn't look it over carefully enough.

I don't think they were trying to hide anything but the car looked better in the pictures than in person.

I don't know anything about them, but I sure wouldn't mind having that 67 Chevelle convertible.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

I was interested in a c10 they had about a year ago. They answered all my questions until I asked for some close up pics of a couple of problem areas I could see in the pictures they had on a craigslist add. I'm about 4 hours from them and didn't want to drive all that way and get a surprise. They never sent the pics or called me back.

Well the red 67 chevy w/baby moons was recently on Dallas Craiglist for $7k or $8k.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

That red one looks great in the pictures until you blow it upon your iPad. There is rust or a cruddy repair job all over the known rust areas. I got excited until I blew up the picture. Always wondered why they were so much cheaper than market value. Might be because they have the pics looking good but the trucks are rough.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

Be careful. Looks like a lot of what they show have a few problems covered by a fresh coat of paint. I am about 75 miles away and will gladly drive up and look at anything, if anyone sees something they are really interested in. Rather help a brotha out , than see someone get less than they pay for.

The name is enough of a turn-off for me to not want to deal with them.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

From what it sounds like, they are not putting out the best quality, I would like to see if they have a lot of spare parts lying around.

Hahahaha!!!

For me, if I look at a page and every vehicle has an asking price ending in three nines?

Well, I just move on.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

I live 20 miles to the west of them and pass their place everyday home from the plant.

Been there a few times. These guys are flippers, period.

I am also willing to check anything out for anyone interested just give me a PM.

This outfit used to be named Harwell Motors. Do a search. Buyers diligence is mandatory.

Tim your comment made me LOL!

Exactly what I've heard from Army friends at ft Hood...they flip rough vehicles for too much.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

I agree with everyone. Looks good but they are all boat anchors. I will give them this, they come up with a lot of inventory.

Re: classic car liquidators in Texas

A dealer is nothing more than a licensed flipper. The only way to buy an "honest" truck from an "honest" seller is via private party, from a seller that has owned the truck longer than a week. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done these days.

+1, there's a place like this by Ft. Bliss that does newer Mustang Gt's, Subaru WRX's, Mitsubishi Evo's, and Audi's.
