Enthusiast Autohaus

Enthusiast Autohaus is a dealer of classic and enthusiast cars in Sheridan, Indiana, a small town in Hamilton County north of Indianapolis. According to the About page on its own website, the business was founded in 2018 by longtime friends Jon Gilliatt and Edgar Sarmiento. The company describes its focus as sourcing, repairing and selling classic European vehicles, with a stock that leans toward Porsche, BMW, Land Rover and a few less common marques.

How it started

The company says Enthusiast Autohaus began as an outlet for the owners' odd automotive finds and restorations. Its About page lists the kinds of cars the founders enjoyed: Citroens, Lancias, classic BMWs, air-cooled and front-engined Porsches, vintage Land Rovers, diesel Mercedes and the occasional Hanomag. It credits its motorsport experience and a network of partners for making it practical to source, repair and sell cars of that kind. Those claims come from the company itself and could not be checked independently.

What it sells

The mix on offer is broader than the founding story suggests. An archived copy of its inventory page from January 2026 showed 15 vehicles. They included a 1961 BMW 700, a 1964 Chevrolet C10, a 1967 Ford Falcon, a 1995 Land Rover Range Rover, several air-cooled Porsche 911s and a 1972 Porsche 914, along with two Ferraris from 2000. Newer used cars such as a 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo sit alongside the older ones, and earlier archived pages show Volkswagen Vanagons and Mercedes-Benz wagons. Asking prices on that page ran from about $10,000 to just under $100,000. Stock turns over, so treat these as examples rather than a current list.

Buying, trading and financing

The site's banner invites visitors to trade in a vehicle, and its contact form asks owners whether they want to trade, consign or sell outright. It also has a financing page with a pre-approval application, though no lender is named. Shipping, pre-purchase inspections and warranty terms are not described on the pages we could read, so ask about them before agreeing to buy a car you cannot see in person.

Selling or consigning a car

The company says it began offering this service in 2022. Owners can choose consignment or an outright sale. For consignments, the company says it cleans and details the car, shoots professional photos and video, lists it across a partner network, runs car-specific marketing and keeps the vehicle in a secure, climate-controlled facility until it sells. The seller is then paid by check and the title changes hands. If a car interests the dealer, it says it may buy it on the spot after a free appraisal. No fee or commission terms are published, so ask for them in writing. For background on how these arrangements usually work, see consigning a classic.

Reputation

Enthusiast Autohaus is listed on Classic.com, Classics on Autotrader and Carsforsale.com. A Birdeye page showed a 4.4 star average based on 138 Google reviews. We did not find a Better Business Bureau profile for the company. As with any dealer, a rating is a starting point: verify the title, ask for service records and consider an independent inspection on any older European car, where deferred maintenance can be expensive.
