Baron Auto Group LLC

Baron Auto Group is a small family-run auto broker in Johnstown, Ohio. Its website describes the business as "We Buy, Sell, Trade and Source," and its inventory mixes classics and hot rods with modern performance cars, imports and trucks. It is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The company's About page says it sources "classic, muscle, luxury, vintage and exotic" vehicles and refers to its establishment in 2022. The contact details list two people, Tammy Baron and Tyler Baron, each with a direct phone number. The site also says the business caters primarily to luxury buyers and customers with strong credit. These are the company's own statements, and we found no independent history of the business.

What they sell

The inventory is broad rather than classic-only. The ClassicCars.com dealer page showed 14 vehicles. The older cars included a 1930 Ford Model A hot rod at $30,000, a 1964 Mercury Park Lane at $40,000, a 1965 Pontiac LeMans convertible at $32,000, a 1974 Chevrolet pickup at $28,500 and a 1986 Renault Alliance convertible at $6,000. The rest were later-model enthusiast vehicles, such as a 2016 and a 2017 Chevrolet SS, a 2002 and a 2010 Camaro SS, a 2004 Dodge SRT-10 and a 1997 Suzuki Jimny. Asking prices there were marked "OBO," meaning or best offer. Because only part of the stock is truly vintage, this dealer suits buyers open to a mixed search.

How buying and selling works

• Buying: the site offers a test drive request, a quote request and a car finder form for specific models.
• Financing: a credit application is available online.
• Trade-ins and sales to the dealer: a trade-in form and a Sell Us Your Car page are listed.
• Delivery: the company says it offers nationwide door delivery. Costs are not published.

The company says every vehicle is evaluated before it joins the inventory, though it does not describe the process or provide a report format, so ask for documentation and consider an independent inspection.

Reputation

The home page includes undated customer thank-yous, including one for a 1971 Volkswagen Squareback. They appear on the company's own site. We did not find a Better Business Bureau profile or independent review counts for this business, and since the company says it was established in 2022, read recent third-party feedback before you commit to a long-distance deal.
