I responded to a internet reach for a 1939 Ford Deluxe 4 door convertible. Tom’s email responses were timely and complete as to answers I was seeking. Because I am in Washington State I looked for a set of eyes (vehicle appraiser) to provide me with a written report and pictures. The appraiser confirmed everything that Tom had been conveying to me. Tori, his office mate, is a gem for following up on inquiries and documentation. This is my first classic car purchase other than my owning a 1937 Ford Deluxe slant back back in high school (1957) and a 1959 Jaguar XKE 150 roadster while in the Marine Corps 1962 -1964 – sold it when I went to Viet Nam. The price of those cars back then were certainly easier on the pocketbook.
I’ve been in this hobby for over 40 years. Believe me when I say Tom’s one in 1 million. It’s easy to say “Car Guys Are great ” but Tom redefines that word. He has the rare ability to treat you like a friend from the minute you engage him. He’s not only knowledgeable but he won’t BS you to make a sale. In the process of finishing the deal, I thought he was bending over backward for me. But he shrugged it off by saying what he did was easy. I can’t recommend him enough
I met Tom through his add in Hemmings Motor News and his really informative web site. The early 1930’s Cadillac I was interested in was accurately described with a complete history and an excellent photo presentation including all of the features that a buyer would want to see. I visited his shop, test drove the car, inspected it on the lift and spent the afternoon going over details of the car with Tom and his mechanic. The car was just as described. Tom was instrumental in assisting with my purchase of the car for a fair and reasonable price and due to his network of antique automobile enthusiasts he was able to round up some rare parts that had been removed by previous owners . His thorough knowledge of the great American classic cars, his honesty and integrity, and follow up after the sale are second to none. Anyone interested in buying or selling an antique, classic or collector car should certainly check with Tom Laferrierre.
Tom has sold three Classics for me, resulting in a smooth transition each time,The attention to details was key, as well as the great Web page and excellent description and photos of the autos. The pricing issue was resolved as Tom did research as to what each model was selling for. Thanks Tom for a great relationship.
Early Fall I purchased a Classic Automobile from Laferriere Classic Cars. I really did not have the garage space necessary for this new purchase however, I did have a Classic Car to sell. I asked Tom if he could help. Tom accepted my Auto for sale immediately to allow garage space for my new purchase. Both transactions were completed separately and with intricate detail. His style and professionalism is second to none. Tom I appreciate everything you do!!!! Credit to the Automobile Hobby…..
I have now sold 3 cars through Tom and I highly recommend his services. As with the first two, he picked the car up and wired me the money 4 weeks later. He handled the market analysis for pricing, photography, description, inspection, marketing and negotiation. He shields the seller from all the aggravation of selling a car and makes it easy on the buyer. When you divide his commission into the hours it would take to do his job it seems like quite a bargain. Not to mention, a private seller would not be able to do as good a job as a professional like Tom.
Buying a classic car from Tom was a very enjoyable experience. He was extremely helpful throughout the process. He was open to questions and even outside inspections if I wanted one. He put the car up on a lift within 10 minutes of my initial visit. This was one example of the great customer service, which let me make an informed decision. I felt confident in buying from Tom and would recommend him to anyone looking for a classic car.
Tom had my car for sale and closed the deal in about 2 weeks, his advertising reached out in a very professional manor and I am
completely satisfied with the results.
Professional, good communication, knowledge, attention to detail and passion are all qualities Tom has shown with all my transactions. I have used Tom’s help selling, trading and buying five cars over the past ten years. He was able to make the people connections and make the process smooth and easy. Thank you for keeping me happy and smiling.
I asked Tom if he would be willing to sell a unique car that happens to sit in a very narrow market. Although the car itself was very nice, I knew it would not be something easy to sell. With no hesitation, Tom took the car, cleaned it up and advertised it in all the right places. I know this required quite a bit of effort on his part. I also know he didn’t get rich on the transaction which happened much soon than I expected.. Much appreciated, you are the man Tom!
