GOGEARHEAD.COM provides the industry's most comprehensive condition reports and knowledgeable, professional consultation to every client. Each report includes detailed checks of the body, paint, chrome, signs of accident damage, rust or bondo. We check the engine, suspension and test-drive the car. We photograph the underbody, check the instrumentation, tires, wheels and interior. In short, we do just about everything possible without actually taking the car apart!

AUTO BROKERAGE SERVICES
At GOGEARHEAD.COM we have a proven track record assisting buyers and sellers of unique, classic and vintage collectible automobiles and rare memorabilia. We offer full brokerage services that let the seller have the flexibility to have your vehicle on site with us or list the car with us and keep it at your location. We can also act as a central agent or the client may prefer an "open" listing that still allows you the option to sell your vehicle. Either way, our success rate speaks for itself. We will be happy to provide you with extensive references should you need them.

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION
Ryan Owens is available to travel worldwide to represent the buyer in a pre-purchase inspection. You can contact Ryan via telephone at 864.271.7021 or via email at contact@gogearhead.com.


1. AUTOMOBILE LOCATION SERVICES
GOGEARHEAD.COM will search nationwide to locate the classic or collectible car you desire. From everyday to exotic, muscle to micro cars, projects to prototypes, our research department has been finding all kinds of cars for more than a decade! Using our extensive industry connections, we hunt coast-to-coast (and even overseas) to find suitable examples of vehicles that closely match your specifications. We then forward these prospects to you and if an example is of interest, we will solicit further information and photographs from the seller and if necessary set up an inspection on the vehicle on your behalf. We will continue to do this until we find the vehicle you wish to purchase!

We do not accept every assignment. You must be serious about your purchase, have a feasible budget and naturally, be in a position to consummate the deal once we have found the car you desire. Our 'locate contracts' run 90 days and our fees are based on the advertised price of the car. Upon conclusion of the contract period, a non-refundable fee of $500.00 will be due irrespective of whether you purchase a car or not, however if a suitable vehicle has been purchased by you during this time, this amount is deducted from your total fee.


2. INSPECTION SERVICES

3. NEGOTIATING SERVICES
GOGEARHEAD.COM will act as your exclusive agent keeping your identity private. This benefits you in several ways:

It allows someone who is not "emotionally attached" to the purchase, to ensure you get the very best deal possible on your dream car.

As your identity is kept secret, it effectively allows us to get "two bites at the apple" and gives us a greater ability to establish the seller is being truthful in his representation of the car.

It places you in the strongest negotiating position possible. Think about how hard it is for a seller to negotiate with a buyer over the telephone where he is unable to read body language or facial expressions? Now consider how that situation is compounded for the seller when the person he's forced to negotiate with isn't even the one who wants the car! It really does put him at a distinct disadvantage and allows you to negotiate from a position of strength.

Having an objective third party to give you the occasional "reality slap" really helps keep you grounded and focused on what exactly it is you are getting yourself into.

If you are overseas, it allows us to offer you a "degree of protection" by making the seller complete the transaction within U.S. borders, thus governing them to American laws. Also, thanks to the various internet scams (many of which emanate from outside the US), many dealers and private sellers won't even entertain offers from buyers outside the country. So our involvement may mean the difference between the seller even considering you as a prospective buyer for his car or not.

Note: Not all transportation companies are created equal! One thing is certain; it isn't all about price. Different transport companies offer different services and all have their uses. It comes down to the type of car you are moving, where you want it moved to and how quickly you want it done. We frequently spend several hours on the phone finding just the right service for a customer's car and of course we know from experience which transportation companies to avoid.
