This is the only photo I took, because the rest of the museum is half “2002 clk convertible owned by Britteney Spears” and half “classic car dealership with cars at 2X market price”

2/10 would not recommend

Almost forgot, also 50% “we went to the Toys R Us assets auction and bought their fiberglass characters and the ¢25 ride- on horses that used to be outside”

Yeah you’re basically paying to tour a dealer showroom there these days.

And the cars are all hilariously overpriced.

Also true. I find that most classic car dealers price their cars too high, though Volo seems to be even worse than average.

I think much of Volo’s inventory is on consignment so sellers are at least partly to blame.

Most classic dealers are all consignment so I assumed they were too.

I could be wrong but I thought Volo owned at least a small portion of their inventory. Gateway I think is 100% consignment, as are most of these dealers, yeah. 

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Bman76 (hates WS6 hoods, is on his phone and has 4 burners now) 05/26/2019 at 19:06

Basically hit the nail on the head, with the exception of the fact that all of those Duesenberg‘s are Duesenberg IIs  from the 80s and they try to pass them off as the real thing from the 30s.

OMG I just looked at Volos inventory. I stand corrected. SO MUCH  crack pipe even by classic car dealer standards.

Big yikes, I figured something fishy was going on when there weren’t really signs explaining them...

Are you saying that $43k for a Stock 1966 Mustang with a crate  302 and B- paint is way too much? /s

Lol I missed that one but in a nutshell that nails what most of their cars are - modded cars at low mile numbers matching prices.
