In Gear Motors

In Gear Motors is a small classic and vintage car dealer in southwest Miami, Florida. The company says it was founded in 2012, and state corporate records show In Gear Motors Inc was incorporated in Florida in September 2013 and remains active. Its mix is broad: American muscle cars and 1950s to 1970s American icons sit alongside small European classics, the odd movie car and a few modern performance cars. Almost everything it sells is listed through its eBay store rather than on a traditional dealer website.

Who runs In Gear Motors

The company's site credits its founding to "lifelong enthusiast Mr. Deillon," describing years of experience sourcing, marketing and selling specialty and vintage cars. Florida corporate records list Jean Sebastien Deillon as the corporation's officer and registered agent. In its early years the business worked from 14260 SW 136th Street in Miami. An archived version of its 2014 site shows it also exported cars and automobilia to buyers overseas through shipping consolidators, advertised a trilingual sales team, and rented classic cars to film, TV and photo shoot productions. The rental and export pages are no longer part of the current site, but the "movie cars" line in today's pitch reflects that history. In 2026 the company recorded a new address with the state, the unit on SW 142nd Avenue that its site now lists.

How the business works

In Gear Motors buys, sells and consigns cars. According to its site, it buys classics outright, takes trade-ins after what it calls "fair market evaluations," and sells cars on consignment for owners who would rather not handle a private sale. The distinctive part is the sales channel: the company says its "entire inventory is listed live on eBay," and its site links buyers to its eBay store rather than hosting a full inventory of its own. The site claims more than 1,000 cars sold and 30 or more active listings at a time.

For buyers, that means each car comes with an eBay listing page, the platform's messaging and feedback history, and eBay's own vehicle purchase rules, in addition to whatever the dealer offers directly.

What In Gear Motors sells

The site names Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, Porsche and Mercedes as its core makes, and promises everything from "golden-era American muscle to Movie cars and timeless European legends." Recent eBay listings have included a 1959 Chevrolet Impala restomod with an LS3 engine, a 1971 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super, Fiat 500s from 1971, a 1990 Mini Cooper and a 1981 DeLorean finished in "Back to the Future" style. Archived listings from the late 2010s show the same pattern: Mustang fastbacks including a 1965 Hertz car, a 1969 Corvette Stingray, an MGB and an Austin Mini. Expect a rotating, eclectic stock rather than a deep run of any one model.

Buying from In Gear Motors

The company coordinates both enclosed and open transport to anywhere in the continental US, and it works with outside lenders that specialize in collector car loans. Its site says those lenders consider "all credit situations" and can give same-day pre-approval decisions. Showings are by appointment, and the site asks buyers to request one before visiting.

The site's own disclaimer is worth reading: it reminds buyers that these are used cars that will show wear, states that advertised prices exclude taxes, government fees, finance charges and dealer document fees, and "highly suggest[s]" seeing a car in person. If you cannot, arrange an independent inspection before you commit. Our guide on selling a classic on consignment also explains how consignment sales like these are structured, which matters when the car you are buying belongs to a third party.

Selling or consigning a car

Owners have three routes with In Gear Motors: an outright sale, a trade-in against another car, or consignment, where the company lists the car through its storefront to what it calls "a nationwide audience of serious buyers." The site does not publish consignment fees or terms, so ask for the commission, the listing period, who pays for photos and shipping, and how and when you are paid, and get all of it in writing before you hand over the car.

Reputation

In Gear Motors is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, which rates it B- and shows one closed complaint in the past three years. On Birdeye it holds 3.7 stars from 25 reviews, and the reviews are mixed: several buyers praise clear communication and cars delivered out of state as promised, while others report spending heavily on repairs after purchase. The business has traded under the same name for well over a decade, and its eBay store carries its own feedback record. As with any remote purchase, judge the specific car on an inspection, not on the listing alone.
