Just wondering if anyone here ever dealt with Holt Auto Sales out of Lansing, Michigan and what their experience was with them? Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

I work just down the road from them. When I was looking for a car, I stopped in there and test drove cars a few times. Their pricing is retail, though sometimes a deal can be had. Quality of the C3s range from OK to very good. I never saw any junk. I saw a couple that were a little rough or looked really nice but had some mechanical or handling problem. They do a very good job presenting online pics of their cars in the best light, so a visit and test drive is advised. If you are interested in a particular car, I'd be glad to stop by and check it out for you on a weekday.

I think one or more of their staff are members here.

Sorry, man. I stopped by over lunch today. (Good reason to take the vette for a drive.) The red 69 BB sold yesterday.

These days you have to move quick on a good car.

I bought 2 Vettes from them over the years. No problems. I think they improved the quality of cars they sell now vs a few years ago. No junk, but their prices reflect it too. It's a nice place to go and look on a cold winter day since most everything is indoors.

It turns out the car was still there, being held for njvette1. I stopped by again today, looked at the car (didn't drive it - raining), and sent my impressions and pics to njvette1. He can add any other comments.

20 years ago they were pretty shady. Rolled back odometers, misrepresented advertising, etc. If you weren't knowledgeable about what you were looking for, they could take you for a ride.

I've had good and bad experiences with them.

I could bore you with details if you really want.

But they seem to really have cleaned up their act in the last 5-8 years or so. Much improved. Really sharp vehicles. They're definately worth a look.

Njvette1, what did you decide? Did you get my impressions via PM and pics via email?

njvette1

I got the pics, just wanted to say thanks for taking some time out to help. I think we are going to take the car, even though it needs a little work, that's kind of expected for a car that is almost 40 years old. Thanks again for giving a stranger some of your time, it meant a lot and I can tell you there aren't a lot of people out here in NJ that would do something like that. Thanks for all the help and I'm looking forward to seeing this car person.

You're welcome. That's the way things usually work here on CF. When I wanted to buy a Borla exhaust for my C5, a member went out of his way while headed back to Wisconsin to let me hear and ride in his car.

Don't forget to wave!
