Duffy's Classic Cars — Attraction in Cedar Rapids

Honest people of their word are how I would describe Duffy's. On Jan 16, 2018 I purchased a 58 Impala sight unseen from Duffy's. After the purchase I hired them to install power windows and cruise control before I came to pick up the car. Two days before I was set to leave and drive the car home to Oklahoma, I received a call from Craig the salesman. The General Manger Ron was test driving the car and thought something was wrong with the transmission. After getting with the Shop Foreman Travis they discovered metal shaving in the transmission pan. Craig informed me they had already found a newly rebuilt transmission that was even better than the one currently in the car from a very reputable shop, Fountain Transmission in Iowa City. I had signed a purchase agreement two weeks earlier that I was buying the car as is, no warranty. They didn’t have to do that. They already had been paid in full for the car. Because they sold me the car believing it had a good transmission, they went above and beyond to make it right. With only a two day delay On Jan 31st I saw and drove the car for the first time. It was everything they said it was and more. They had completely gone through the car, fixed everything they found wrong and even added a few little extras for me. Craig took me to meet and talk with everyone about the car, including Chad the mechanic that did most of the work, John the buyer who found the car and told me all about the guy who built it along with Ron and Travis as well. When I test drove the car, the cruise wasn’t working at higher speeds. After a few adjustments it was working and I was on my way back home. On the way home I discovered the cruise wasn’t working like it should. To make a long story short I worked with Travis and Chad over the phone to make some adjustments but couldn’t get it to work. Duffy's found a local Dakota Digital installer, told me to take it to them for the repair and they would pay for it. Everything is working good now. I have the car of my dreams thanks to the honesty and integrity of the fine folks at Duffy's. I can’t say enough about these guys. When everything goes right anyone can look good. But when things go bad, in this case very bad, that’s when you see the true colors of a business. Thank...

Horrible experience with Classic Enterprises. I found a vehicle they listed on eBay and I instantly fell in love with it. I called the sales person (Ronnie) to get some more information about the vehicle. I was looking for a 100% correct camaro and after talking to Ronnie, he told me "believe me when I tell you this is the most correct Camaro I've seen. I've been doing this for 20+ years". Well, long story short, I gave a good faith deposit on the vehicle and spent $750 on a plane ticket. After doing more research on the vehicle with information deciphered from the cowl tag, it turns out this vehicle is far from perfect. It is coded X55, which means, with certainty, it can not be an "RS SS" camaro as advertised. Additionally, the top was the incorrect color and the interior was advertised as having "correct houndstooth", which is also incorrect. It is coded for standard black interior.

I pleaded with the Ronnie and the owner Curt to receive my deposit back plus the airfare since they blatantly misrepresented this vehicle. After talking and emailing for 2 days, I received my deposit back and half of the plane ticket. They misrepresentation cost me $375 (half the airfare).

Lastly, after informing them of how incorrect their vehicle is, they are still advertising it as an "RS SS" camaro, which it is, with 100% certainty, not. Do you homework on vehicles as this company cannot be trusted. Extremely unethical and I've never been more disappointed in doing business in the vehicle market. -10 stars...

Did not have a good experience - so shame on me most of all for not having the car (Mustang convertible) inspected. It may be harsh to say the description was misleading, but certainly not as accurate as it could have been (several problems with the car after driving it) so shame on Duffy's as well. Be certain of your purchase before you give them a $1000 deposit; as stated in their fine print, it WILL NOT BE REFUNDED to you!! In addition, I had over $600 in travel expenses to their facility and back that I've lost. I feel strongly that they could have made some amends for my time and trouble, but that's not who they are (buyer beware). You just can't always be trusting that there is 100% honesty out there. Lesson learned on buying a classic car online - see it yourself or at least have a 3rd party look at it for you. Otherwise, you'll be kicking yourself as I have. Hopefully this review will help the next person avoid my mistake. It's unlikely I will have any dealings with this company again, nor recommend them if...
