Some of the cars are pretty nice, but I think their pricing is high and seeing the facilities, I don't think I would purchase from them unless they had a deal I couldn't say no to. One of the cars I went to see had bushes growing out of the woods and on, through? The car.and they want $14k? There are better options out there.

I am selling a unique car on eBay, John from Black Tie Classics began messaging me interested in my car, after receiving more pictures and videos of it he was even more interested, said we had a deal. Never heard from him again to finalize the deal after I gave him wire instructions. I find out two weeks later he is using my pictures and trying to scam other buyers on the internet saying the car is his to sell.
I have screenshots to prove John is using my exact pictures and showing them to another buyer. The number in the picture belongs to Black Tie Classics and that is my car he is sending to a potential buyer.

This business should be closed. I purchased a car 3 months ago, and have no been able to get it registered due to their inability to get my proper paperwork needed by new york state. Additionally, I have had to take the car into the shop twice after driving it 5 times, and the top on the convertible now is not going down. I would never do business with these people again. Buyer beware.
