Sight Unseen Car Buying

Because of the global reach of the internet and the busy schedules of our customers, we sell most of our cars sight unseen. To make sure our customer expectations are met in buying a 30+ year old car, we have implemented a "Sight unseen policy." Before you  buy a car from American Dream Machines,  we recomend to talk to at least two different people at our dealership to get multiple perspectives on the car. One of those perspectives is usually from the Mechanic in our shop who has worked on the car and knows the car the best. We just want to make sure you are happy with your purchase and will recommend our company to your friends.

To give customers flexibility in buying their dream machine, we have two types of deposits refundable and non-refundable.

Refundable deposit, Customer agrees to pay a minimum 10% deposit.  This gives the buyer "first right of refusal" for up to two weeks, while they perform inspections or get financing in order. The car will remain for sale until full payment is received. 

Non-refundable down payment , Customer agrees to buy the car. Customer agrees to pay a minimum of 10% down payment towards buying the car. This option gives the buyer up to two weeks to get financing together.  The car will be removed from the market when 10% is received. After two weeks the car will be put back on the market if full payment is not received.
