Great Lakes Classic Cars

One of the easiest truck loans we've ever gotten. Chris could tell we LOVED the Avalanche as we already had one. A very pleasant experience...and enjoyed looking at the REAL classic cars. Would highly recommend them. Thanks for the truck we've been waiting for, Chris. Paul and Amy

Just bought a1966 Dodge Coronet. Chris Schafer was the salesman that got me this beautiful car. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. I live in Erie Pennsylvania. Everything about this transaction went so smoothly. My car was delivered to my driveway last night at 8:00. Could not be more pleased. Looks and runs better than I could have imagined. Thanks again Chris.

It started off at great experience. I was looking at a 2004 Pontiac GTO. Looked CLEAN. I test drove it and everything seemed to be going well. I bought the car, part of the deal was that it was be delivered to me in an enclosed trailer on a certain day. That day passed and it was days before car arrived, on a flatbed trailer exposed to road salt....then I put car in my garage to get through winter. A couple weeks later I went to fire it up, pull out of garage on a nice day and check it out some more. The clutch was messed up big time. I held clutch and brake and as I turned the key to start it the car it lunged forward and went flying out of the garage, keep it mind I know how to drive stick. The clutch and brake was ALL THE WAY DOWN while this happened. I got garage paint rubbed off on my door. I contacted Chris Schafer who sold me car. He was great and sent car back to transmission shop to get it fixed free of charge. I was happy with this but I did ask for service records to be given to me so I could have them for future reference. Chris also told me car just had “brand new clutch” installed before I bought it. Then later said it was “rebuilt”. This sketched me out but I had already bought car so I had to try and trust them.. I asked 4 times for service records and everytime he said “yeah I’ll get them to you” and never did. I gave up trying. Car is also rusty underneath I think they sprayed it with undercoat over the rust which is bad news. Car came with 0 service records. Buying the car was easy. The rest was bad. Took long enough to get car. Was promised on a couple occasions that car would arrive on a certain day then it didn’t. I would contact Chris with no response. Great Lakes has some awesome cars. Just be very thorough when looking for rust that was my mistake. I have a feeling I got one of the only cars with problems. Their other cars looked mint but not in my budget. Also other reviews show great experiences and I probably happened to be one of the few to have a bad experience. Chris told me Great Lakes is all about their reputation and that they are not like typical car salesman, they want the customer happy, which does seem to be good, but I think i got a raw deal here. If They were truly being honest with me about car they would have told me it was rusty. Pictures online did not show how bad rust was. Keep that in mind and I hope you have a better experience!

I purchased a BEAUTIFUL 2003 Mercedes Benz SL500 convertible from Engels and his team. My salesman Chris was very knowledgeable and funny! They made it a priority to get my vehicle detailed and ready for pick up. They took care of everything for me. I felt comfortable doing business with them. I highly recommend Great Lakes for the purchase of classic cars as well as newer.nnThanks Engels and Chris!nLaurie Nesbitt
