Recently I purchased a **** **** mustang lx convertible thorough gateway classics in ********** *******. I live in ********** so when I called to inquire I was connected with *********************. I asked him the usual questions and got some more pictures from him. He told me the car had been totally gone through, that this thing is reliable, paint is in great condition, and I also stressed the fact that it needed to pass smog because ********** is strict. He gave me the guarantee that it would. So I took his word, and I stressed the situation because I was nervous about buying a vehicle site unseen, but with the reassurance **** gave me and the reputation of Gateway classics I trusted them. BIGGEST MISTAKE I HAVE EVER MADE. Right when I got the vehicle you can see dents and dings all throughout the car. It has a horrible repaint, there are literal drips of black paint on the trunk hood. That was just visually, when me and a mechanic dove into it, heres what other **************** we found. MISSING O2 SENSORS!Runs horrible,Eratic idle,E brake doesnt work AT ALL Rear end has bearing noise Came 3 quarts low on oil Brake fluid is low and contaminated, and same goes for the ****** fluid.Check engine light does not come on, I couldnt even scan the thing for codes!And it came WITHOUT being smogged, after he told me it passed which is illegal by the way as well as the sellers responsibility So when I called back extremely disappointed, ********************* played dumb and told me that he only said he thought it passed smog, and said that THEY DO NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE SELLING, amongst other lies to cover himself up. So how can you give me all these guarantees without knowing anything about this vehicle? How can you feel comfortable with selling a pile of junk. I have been trying to contact them and I have gotten zero callbacks. Please do not do business with this company. I have absolutely no reason to be making any of this up, I wish I did not have to write this review.

The business has reviewed the situation brought forth by the consumer and believes some of these statements were inaccurate to the facts. After review, it has been concluded that no malintent transpired during the negotiations or transaction of this vehicle. Referencing the investigation conducted, the business would like to take a moment to clarify a few things mentioned in this consumers statement.First, all vehicles when being checked into the dealership do have a basic equipment checklist completed. This includes checking basic function features such as headlights, taillights, reverse-lights, blinkers, A/C etc. This checklist is available for any consumer upon request when pursuing a vehicle to purchase. Next, this vehicle, along with every vehicle represented by the dealership was posted with an ample number of photos, along with a video, which includes a complete walkaround and portion of the vehicle idling & driving.Also, if requested, the business is always willing to take additional photos or videos of any particular areas specified by the consumer to be sent over for review. We would also like to point out, if the consumer desires, the business makes all vehicles available to be inspected either by the consumer themselves, 3rd party inspector, or anyone the consumer deems reputable/creditable enough to review the vehicle on their behalf prior to purchasing. Lastly, the claim of smog-inspection is far-fetched as the dealership does not provide, nor make any claims of having certified mechanics at the facility. In fact, the dealership does not perform any service on their inventory whatsoever. Thus, wouldnt have the capabilities of guaranteeing it to pass another states inspection regulations, as all state regulations vary case by case on acceptability guidelines. Which circles back to why as a company were so lenient and receptive of allowing private or 3rd party inspections. 
Enclosing, we are disheartened to hear that the consumer is disgruntled with their purchase as this is not the desired outcome for either party. However, after investigating, the business concluded the salesman and location did represent the vehicle with full transparency. Thus, the company considers this As-Ispurchase to be completed in its entirety and has closed out this transaction.

Not one star more like zero. I recently consigned a vehicle in there showroom and when I delivered the vehicle it was fresh from the paint shop. Pick it up and there's a scratch in which they denied it happened in there show room but yet they're own pictures site it with out the scratch. Of course I get accused of scratching it after I picked it up. Do not sell your car through gateway at ***** in ******* ******** or I'm sure any location as they are based here.
