Why Buy From Benchmark Classics?
The Benchmark Difference ®
At Benchmark Classics, we strive to be the only source you’ll ever need to buy, sell, or restore a classic vehicle. We are the Benchmark against which our competitors aim to achieve. Here’s why:
- Buy from someone you can trust.
We know that you worry about the integrity of sellers of classic cars. We know firsthand what it’s like to buy from dealers who cannot be trusted. What did we learn from the experience? Don’t buy from them! We know that you would make the same decision about us if we gave you any reason to question our commitment to offering you the finest collector vehicles.
At Benchmark Classics, we pride ourselves on the extensive business experience of our founding partners. We differentiate ourselves from 99% of our competition with over 100 years of combined business experience. Two of the three managing partners are CPAs, and both have served as officers at Fortune 500 companies. The third partner has started several successful businesses, the first of which he founded at the age of 12.
From your first step into our showroom to the moment you bring home your classic, we aim to give you 100% satisfaction. In fact, the only way we can survive in such an intensely competitive industry is to keep our customers happy so they buy from us again and again. If you ever have any issue with a vehicle we sell, we will do everything in our power to make the situation right.
- One of the best restoration teams you’ll find anywhere.
We have put together a world-class group of restoration and service experts that will bring out the best in your vehicle. We offer a full line of paint services, including custom paint, murals, airbrushing, pinstriping, and single to three-stage paint by none other than Brent Chere.

- Consign your vehicle with an unbeatable deal.
If you are looking to sell your classic vehicle, let us help you get top dollar out of it. You will benefit from all of the full-scale advertising that we give our cars. Before we promote your car on our website, we will professionally detail the vehicle at no extra cost to you. Our professional photographer will take high-quality pictures of your vehicle, inside and out. Your car will then be added to our website, and we will write an expert description of it for you.
Not only that, but your vehicle will be advertised through all of our channels… at no extra cost to you! In addition to our website, we currently advertise in ten publications and websites that reach hundreds of millions of perspective buyers worldwide.
In addition, you will receive digital copies of the high-resolution images of your car!
Now you might be thinking that consigning your vehicle at Benchmark Classics is going to cost a fortune. That’s not the case at all! We charge 7% of the sales price for the first $50,000 and 5% for the remainder the purchase above $50,000. Not so bad, is it?
Of course, if you are looking to turn in your classic for something a little different, we welcome trades!
