MB Vintage Cars Inc

MB Vintage Cars Inc is a classic and vintage car dealer at 198 Parmely Avenue in Elyria, Ohio, a city in Lorain County about 25 miles west of Cleveland. The business is run by owner Frank Sajjad. The Better Business Bureau lists it as started in 2009, and the company's own website says its team has "more than 22 years of combined experience" in the industry. It buys and sells American and European classics, with a particular lean toward vintage sports cars and imports, and it also takes cars on consignment.

How the business works

MB Vintage Cars works as a dealer first: it buys cars outright, lists them for sale, and moves them on to buyers across the country and abroad. Its site says it will acquire vehicles from any location and that it buys classic cars "in ANY condition," which makes it a possible destination for owners who want to sell a car outright rather than wait for a retail buyer. Alongside that, the company runs a consignment program, described in the next section. The BBB categorizes the business as an online car dealer, which fits a model where a good share of customers buy from a distance.

What MB Vintage Cars sells

The company says it specializes in American and European classic and sports cars. Its site names Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Cadillac, Ford and Chevrolet among the marques it handles. In practice the listings skew European. A recent snapshot of its ClassicCars.com inventory, where it is a Priority Seller with about 65 vehicles, included Porsche 911 and 924 models, Mercedes-Benz 450SL roadsters, a Maserati Quattroporte, an MG A, a Triumph TR8 and an Alfa Romeo. Asking prices in that snapshot ran from under $6,000 for a driver-level car to roughly $80,000 for a late-model air-cooled Porsche. Inventory turns over, so treat those examples as a sample rather than a current list.

The inventory is broad and mostly in the middle of the market, which suits buyers who want an attainable European sports car or roadster rather than a six-figure trophy car.

Buying from MB Vintage Cars

The company's site lists shipping arrangements among its services, and a directory summary says it can organize worldwide delivery. Its published pages do not describe financing, deposit terms or an inspection procedure, so those points need to be settled directly with the dealer before you commit. For any long-distance purchase, the usual precautions apply: ask for the VIN and a clean title copy, request a detailed walk-around video, and have an independent inspector look at the car before you send money. Our guide to how classic car consignment works is also worth reading if you are weighing a consigned car against one the dealer owns, since the ownership and paperwork can differ.

Consigning a car with MB Vintage Cars

The company runs a consignments page that invites owners to "be part of the MB Vintage family and let us sell your car for you." It says consigned cars are kept in its secure, indoor premises and that it handles "all the business from beginning to end." The page does not publish a commission rate, contract length or fee schedule, so owners should ask for those terms in writing: what percentage or flat fee applies, who pays for photography, advertising, storage and insurance, how long the agreement runs, and what happens if the car does not sell. Because the dealer also buys outright, it is worth asking for a firm cash offer alongside a consignment quote and comparing the two.

Reputation and track record

The BBB profile shows the business is not BBB accredited and carries no BBB rating, with no complaints closed in the past three years and no customer reviews on file there. That is neutral rather than positive or negative: it means the BBB has little to go on. Third-party directories carry some customer comments, which describe the owner as helpful and the paperwork as handled quickly, but those platforms were not fully verifiable at the time of this research, so they are not summarized here with star counts. The most useful signals are the business's roughly 15 years on record, a long-running inventory on ClassicCars.com, and its showroom pages with "For Sale" and "Recently Sold" sections. As with any dealer, judge the specific car, not the company: verify the title, get an independent inspection, and keep any promise about condition in writing.
