Southwest Vintage Motorcars

Southwest Vintage Motorcars is a Phoenix dealership that describes itself as specializing in "the buying, selling, and consigning of exceptional specialty, enthusiast, and vintage automobiles." It operates from 4827 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, Arizona 85018, and its website carries the slogan "Buy - Sell - Consign."

Background

The Better Business Bureau lists Southwest Vintage Motorcars LLC as a business that started in March 2018, and names Mark Murray as its member and manager. It is not BBB accredited. The company's own website does not publish a founding year or a history; its About page carries only a one-line promise of "integrity and value." The BBB details came from a search result and the full profile could not be opened, so treat them as medium confidence.

What they sell

The online inventory when we looked mixed collector and modern vehicles. Porsche made up the largest group, with 911s from several decades (1975 through 2014), a 1967 912, a 1961 Porsche roadster, a 1955 Speedster and a 1992 Carrera RS. Beyond Porsche the list included a 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup, a 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon, a 1966 Lambretta scooter and a number of recent trucks and SUVs, among them Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Land Rover Defender models. Inventory changes quickly and the site notes that vehicles are subject to prior sale, so use this as a general picture rather than a current list. Prices on the site carry a disclaimer that they exclude taxes, government fees and dealer charges.

Consignment and buying

The company says it takes cars on consignment as well as buying and selling them, but it does not publish fee schedules or terms. Owners thinking of this route should ask about commission, minimum price, storage, insurance and how long the car is marketed. Our guide to selling a classic on consignment lists the questions worth putting in writing. The site also links to a secure credit application, which suggests financing is available through the dealership, though we could not see its terms.

Reputation

Beyond the BBB listing, the dealership appears on several listing sites, including KBB, CarGurus and CarEdge. We did not open a review page with enough reviews to quote a rating, so none is cited. As with any dealer, ask for the title, the service history and an independent pre-purchase inspection on higher-value cars.
