filozof97 21 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hello; I'm going to buy a classic car in St. Louis area; the car seems fine, and seller too, but before transfering money on the other side of the Ocean, I'd like to check if it's not scam. Just somebody to meet with seller and see if the car actually exists. I suppose that there are some companies which specialize in it, but in fact - I don't even know where to start looking for. Any clues? Link to post Share on other sites
Flivverking 196 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Tell us the type of car and maybe there is a local club or organization to contact members near and dig some one up for an expection. Look up car clubs in St. Louis. Contact them even if not your car make . 2 Link to post Share on other sites
John_S_in_Penna 3,419 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 There are several antique-car dealers in St. Louis, Missouri, though I don't know them. Maybe one of their employees would provide the service you seek. And someone here on this forum may live close enough to help you, too. As you may know, there are plenty of friendly hobbyists happy to assist, and especially to assist a forum member from far away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jon37 85 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If you simply need to verify the car exists (and you don't need someone to do a complicated inspection), you might try the local AACA region. Contact the president and ask if anyone in the local club might do you a favor and check out the car. Here is the website of the Gateway City Region, which is centered in the St. Louis area, I believe: https://gharris7.wixsite.com/gateway Another thought would be to contact the local chapter of whatever car club represents the make of car you're hoping to buy. Possibly the members would be happy to take a look at the car that a fellow enthusiast wants to buy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
