The 6 Best Classic Car Dealers in Adelaide

Pete’s Classic Cars is a family-owned business and despite having only five years in the industry, they are one of the most reputable classic car dealers in Adelaide.

Apart from offering a wide range of classic muscle cars, they also offer classic cars for hire. We recommend hiring them if you need to drive stunning and timeless classics for a special occasion. 

Your payment options are varied as well. They offer financing, trade-ins, and even lay-buy!

We admire that almost all of their cars on display are negotiable, catering to people running on a budget.

If you are buying your car from another state, fret not because they also offer cheap interstate transport for your purchase.

On their website, however, we were unable to find the visible repair or maintenance history for each vehicle.

This must be stated in addition to the features, in our opinion. We find it a hassle to constantly call or visit the shop to get easy answers about a car if they’re not yet certain about purchasing it.

Fortunately, they have an extremely helpful and kind staff that are happy to respond to your questions.

We have to note, however, that they specialize only in muscle cars, so if you are looking for a different kind of classic car, you might want to look elsewhere.

If you are looking for imported classic cars, Joe’s Golden Gasoline has got you covered. 

They buy and import each of their vehicles directly from the USA. They also take care of import authorization, asbestos clearance, and customs clearance.

To keep the cars of collectible quality and functioning properly, they are kept in their weather-protected, secure facilities. 

The majority of their vehicles are of collectible condition and have little mileage, making them extremely rare finds.

They also specialize in selling many renowned classic cars like Corvette, Cadillac, and some Ford Classics.

To keep you excited, they also constantly update their website on incoming stock.

Their finance department can also provide you with reasonable rates and quick approval if you decide to finance your car.

However, if you keep track of the prices of their vehicles in stock, you will see that the prices tend to reduce frequently. It’s unclear if this markdown is to encourage clients to buy or because of undisclosed defects in the vehicle.

Either way, the factors that affect their pricing are not disclosed sufficiently.

Also, keep in mind that their vehicles are marketed for excessive prices. Right now, the least expensive one is already AUD 35,000.

Despite this, the quality of classic cars they bring in regularly is something you should definitely consider checking out.

Richmonds houses one of the largest classic car collections in Adelaide. Their showroom and storage facility has 140 classic cars in total.

We love how you can view their luxury and classic cars on their state-of-the-art showroom floor.

They buy and sell a wide range of brands—with Porsche being the one they sell most frequently—and have a reputation as Porsche sales specialists.

If you want to sell your Porsche, you may use their consignment services or get an evaluation from them. They can also go over your alternatives for an outright sale with quick payment.

Plus, Richmonds offers long-term vehicle storage in their monitored, secure facility. The luxury of having your own private garage with round-the-clock access is unmatched.

They also have a detailed and informative car history presented for each vehicle on their website.

However, if you intend to have the vehicle transported interstate, you may need to personally inspect the vehicle or employ the services of an independent mechanic to assess the car’s roadworthiness. 

This implies that you run the risk of upselling and having to pay more for upgrades and repairs after the car leaves the dealership.

Fortunately, the people at Richmonds are good at communicating, and they have great settlement policies if their vehicles are in worse condition than advertised.

Classic Motor Studio is well-known for having a team of expert dealers who make customers happy with their transactions, from start to finish.

They provide a helpful and knowledgeable service, but they also have a personal touch that makes you feel truly relaxed.

We are impressed by the fact that they make sure your car is in flawless condition before sending it to you. 

Even more, their clientele is always relieved to see their products exceed expectations.

You can get the complete features and specifications of each car on their website.

We also appreciate how openly they disclose every vehicle’s repair or maintenance history.

We believe it is vital to highlight this alongside the features. Clients will save time and money by not having to phone or come to the store to ask simple inquiries if they are unsure about the purchase.

If you are into project cars, they also work on repairing and modifying worn-down classic cars back to driving condition.

However, be aware that their price range is higher than that of the other dealers on our list. Numerous factors, such as the vehicle’s low mileage, year and model, extra repairs, and others, could account for this.

Additionally, they only have a small selection of vintage cars available. There are now just 13 automobiles to choose from.

Fortunately, if you don’t find the car you’re looking for in their showroom, they are car sourcing specialists and they’d be happy to assist you so you can get behind the wheels of the classic car you want.

Our experience with RNB Cars has been nothing short of exhilarating. From their classic car selection to the efficiency of their service, we were thoroughly impressed.

When it comes to the classic car market, RNB Cars stands out like a Ferrari in a sea of sedans. Our journey began with a stunning array of classic cars that immediately ignited our passion for automotive history.

Efficiency is at the heart of RNB Cars’ operations. From the moment we walked into their showroom, we were welcomed with a level of professionalism that rivals the most finely tuned engines. No time was wasted, no question left unanswered.

The quality of the cars at RNB is nothing less than stellar. Each vehicle is a pristine work of art, meticulously restored and maintained to perfection. It’s clear that they take great pride in offering only the finest examples of classic automobiles.

RNB Cars has managed to strike a harmonious balance between quality and affordability. We found their prices to be competitive, reflecting the value they offer. It’s the kind of investment that doesn’t just raise eyebrows but also elicits nods of approval.

Our experience with RNB Cars left us feeling like automotive connoisseurs. The staff’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and willingness to engage in passionate discussions about classic cars were both enlightening and entertaining.

However, they don’t offer promos. We suggest checking their website for other affordable deals.

We marvel at the fact that Collectable Classics offers one of the best assortment of classic cars we’ve seen.

To add to this, they offer some of the most affordable classic cars on the market.

They offer a wide range of vehicles to the entertainment industry, including cinema, television, and advertising.

They also provide consulting services so you may perfect the production accuracy of your scene.

Their website is easy to navigate for clients. Complete features and specifications are listed on each classic car page.

How Collectable Classics helps take the hassle out of selling your classic car is also one of the things we especially admire about them.

They provide advertising services if you want to sell your classic car yourself on their website. They make it simple to list your classic car, and your advertisement will be seen by classic car lovers not only in Australia but also abroad.

All vehicles will be covered under their own insurance policy as well.

However, do note that they are located an hour away from Adelaide Metro. 

Also, make sure to continuously follow up with them whether you intend to look for classic cars in person or online. This dealership has a history of failing to stay in touch with customers when they said they would.

Despite this, if you want to buy a vintage, their reputation in the industry is excellent. They also have a network of connections that will help your classic vehicle find a new owner quickly.
