I had been wanting to buy a proper "affordable" sports car for a long time but I just couldn't put my finger on one. Out of the blue, I remembered the S2000 and started looking around for one for a cheap price. I knew that I'll have to buy one in an abused condition and will sell it after a few months to buy a newer car. This was only until I saw Frank's ad online. This was little expensive that others online but a near mint S2000 ap1 with 30k miles on it being bone stock. I saw this online on Thursday night, went there Friday afternoon, saw it, drove it and booked in one hour. Dealing with Frank and buying such cars have their own excitement that a heartless dealer can never provide. Just after I paid the deposit we sat for hours discussing the all the great cars in our opinion, Frank's racing anecdotes, his scrap full of cars he has owned and the races he has been in.He suggested near by mountain roads I could drive on. Most dealers want you out of their office after you've paid the money.

I have taken this to the local S2000 owner's meeting here in the Phoenix area and it has stunned every person till now. They are surprised to find an S2000 ap1 in such a condition. Frank, thanks a bunch for this experience. I'll stop by one of these days with some beer and we'll go over your scrapbook in detail.It'd be great if you can email me the pictures you had clicked. 

Quick tip: If you're buying a performance car from him, ask him to test drive it for you. You will take a lot of years to even begin to learn the way he drives performance cars.

Hi Frank!
I cannot tell you how happy I am to write this email! I spent months looking for the perfect truck 
to tow my horse, and had such a difficult time finding anything I liked in the price range I was 
able to afford. Finally, you posted a Dodge Ram 2500 on your web site and I just had to have it! 
It was exactly what I wanted- it was in pristine condition and it was a great price compared to 
everything else on the market. 
 
From the moment I first spoke with you about the truck, you were straightforward, honest and had 
wonderful integrity. You were willing to make yourself available for me to come see the truck at a 
time that was convenient for me. You took the time to explain everything about the truck to me 
(as this girl had never owned a diesel truck before... Glow plugs?!?!) and even went so far as to 
research and print out a brochure for the exhaust brake that was installed by the last owner. 
Wow, what customer service! Even better, though, was your effort to make sure I was totally 
thrilled with the truck before it left your shop- new motor in the driver's seat, new headlights, 
even a new gas cap! Finally, if that wasn't enough to convince me that you were the best person 
to ever buy a car from, you offered to let me take one of your other cars to an appointment that 
came up while you were installing the driver's seat motor for me. Seriously, what other car dealer 
offers that level of care and attention to their customers' needs?
 
Suffice it to say, I am so very grateful that my new truck came through you! I have already 
recommended you to multiple people and will continue to do so. I have never had an easier, smoother, 
faster car buying experience, and I have certainly never had one that was more fun! 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything, Frank! I'll be calling you when I'm ready to start 
looking for my next car. :)
 
Big hugs to you and Ace,
 
Cynthia

Frank,
 I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for my recent vehicle purchase.
 Your ability to show the vehicle in an extremely timely manner, and the attention to detail
while showing the truck was insurmountable to any experience I have ever had shopping for
a new/used vehicle.
 The amount of personal attention you can get by shopping with Arizona Classics instead of
a large dealership that just wants to make a quick sale is second-to-none. I have already
begun referring family and friends to check out www.azclassics.com for their next vehicle
purchase.
 Although I do plan on keeping my newly purchased Ford F-350 for some time, I will look
to use your services again in the future.
 Thank you,
 Brent Hines
Project Superintendent

    Arizona Classic - An A1 Vehicle Purchasing Experience

Are there truly any folks around that enjoy the vehicle buying experience 
encountered when purchasing used vehicles from various car dealerships? I suspect if
there are, these people would be few and far between and I'm not one of them. Quite 
frankly, I can't stand going from one dealership to another looking for a used vehicle to 
purchase and then going through the cumbersome negotiation buying process once I've 
found something to my liking. The entire A-Z here is something I definitely don't 
appreciate and can do without. That's why I would (and have) recommended purchasing 
a used vehicle from Arizona Classic. My car buying experience was easy, painless and 
not typical dealer fashion. Why? 

      * Direct Owner Interaction:  I dealt directly with Frank, the owner of Arizona 
        Classics. Not a sales representative; his manager; and his manager. No ganging 
        up and no pressure - none. 
      * No Misc Fees:  Sales tax and emissions fee testing was all I paid. No hidden
        charges such as acquisition fees, documentation fees, inspections fees, or any 
        other misc fees traditional dealers seem to come up once you've decided to 
        purchase a vehicle.
     * Quality Vehicle/Great Market Price:  As Arizona Classic is a small dealer
        selling at wholesale prices, I paid less than average retail price for the vehicle I 
        purchased and it was/is in great condition. 
     * Quick: I was in and out in 30 minutes - keys in hand. Compare that to hours at a
        traditional dealership.  

The above just about says it all other than the next time I need to purchase a used
 vehicle, I plan to tap Frank to let him know what I want.

Hi Frank:
Terry and I really appreciated all that you did for us last Thursday.  Glad you enjoyed Murphy's it's
one of our favorite special places to eat.
Thank you, for sending along the links to your 'photo bucket and Facebook' albums enjoyed them all.
I have some pictures to send you about 4 in total--thought I'd attach a special one fore you now.  
I can print them out and send them to your mailing address--or I can email them to you.  Let me
 know which you prefer.
 
It was a pleasure doing business with you and we will recommend "Arizona Classics" to
anyone that might be interested in a used or classic car.
Best,
Kathy & Terry Robbins

PS:  We love the car!

Hi Frank,
Many thanks for doing the tag for us it is really appreciated and we'll forward
a check for the extra cost.  We were so fortunate to find such a great vehicle

meeting you as well and seeing all your lovely cars.
We can't wait to get back to Arizona and spend more time in your
beautiful state.
Thanks again,

Hi Frank
Sorry I didn't get to respond sooner.  This is my first day off.
The  car is great, it ran really good, plenty of power and everything seems
to work.  I really enjoyed the seat warmers.  We came back to Albuquerque
thru Payson and from there until past Grants, New Mexico we had snow
on the ground.
As far as I am concerned the car was worth the drive and I would
buy another car from you. 
Thank you for a great experience.

Hi Frank,
Everything fine here.  Enjoying cruising in a nice car. There's not a squeak
or rattle anywhere.  I checked the highway MPG recently. 
Winslow-Munds Park-around Munds Park, Munds Park-Flagstaff, to
two malls in Flagstaff and home to Winslow.  29.4 MPG  I was stunned. 
(Cruise control helps MPG I think.)
If I had a place to keep it, I'd get a hot-rod as an investment.  Won't have
a garage even when I move.    
Best Regards,

Todd Roth

Good morning, Frank.  Everything went very well and we love the vehicle.  
I mailed the paperwork back to you last Thursday. 
Thank you for making this the best vehicle buying experience
I have had.  I will be working on bringing up more vehicles when
things settle out on the work front.  
            Cheers,

Dear Frank
We made safely back to Colorado. The Honda Pilot drives like a dream.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help. You
made us feel so comfortable in your office!  We wanted to elaborate upon this
most pleasant experience. We will never, ever deal with anyone else
when it comes to a car purchase, and we will encourage everyone we
 know to call you after they have shopped around and know what they
want. We have never, EVER recommended a dealership or a car 
salesman to ANYONE, and we have never, EVER felt this good about
a car purchase.  NOT EVER! 
Unfortunately, after years of not so great experiences, we are very,
very jaded when it comes to buying a car, and it takes A LOT to
impress us!  You have impressed us, Frank. For the first time in our
lives car buying was a real pleasure and not another stressful hassle.
You have made us very happy. 
Blessings to you and your family. 
We wish you much success and good fortune!
Maria and Rafal
Colorado

Hello Mr. Benefiel,  I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you lately
but I just got the title for the jeep on Thursday of this week.
It wasn't really a problem with the paperwork, I just didn't
have time to go to the DMV. I was going to email as soon as
I got the chance. Everything went well, I got a S.Car. title.
The jeep is fantastic. I could not be happier with it. Everthing
you told me was right on the money. I really appreciate your
honesty. You made me feel so comfortable about the deal.
I was a little worried about it, naturally, but the jeep is exactly
what I was looking for. If I ever need another Arizona jeep
(I know there's a lot of them out there) I'll holler at you.
Thanks again for everything and if you ever come to S.Car.,
please look me up.
Thanks, Ken
South Carolina
