Credibility
As a car buyer, you can feel completely confident that Old Town Automobile is a legitimate business that has been in existence for 20+ years with an excellent reputation for high quality cars. In 2005, Old Town Automobile was officially launched at our showroom in Hungtingtown, MD. We thought it would be helpful to point out a few pieces of information to share with your bank or loan company as evidence of Old Town Automobile’s credibility:
- Google Reviews: If you look up our business on Google, you will see nearly 100 reviews – nearly all 5 stars! Click here to see the most recent review from Arnold Warner, our long-time customer who has purchased more than 12 classic cars from us over the years.
- The State of Maryland has a “Maryland Business Entity Search” on which you can type our business name and see that we have been an official business since 2005. Their search tool is available at https://egov.maryland.gov/BusinessExpress/EntitySearch/Search
- One of the ways to confirm that a website is valid is to check how long the domain name has been registered. You can search for the ownership information of any domain at whois.com. Our domain name, oldtownautomobile.com, was registered in December of 2004. Feel free to look up Old Town Automobile’s domain registration information at: https://www.whois.com/whois/oldtownautomobile.com
- A great way to confirm our credibility is to stop by and see the car in person to the showroom. OR, you can hire a third party inspector to come and check out the car.
- Have us shoot a video of the car while we talk to you so you can see that we own all the cars we list on our website.
Important!
Old Town Automobile is not affiliated with any shipping, insurance, inspection or finance company.
As a courtesy to our clients, we will work with whatever company you select and we can provide a recommendation on a shipping provider, but we are not responsible for any services provided by said company.
Once a vehicle is paid for and leaves our lot, we are not responsible for its delivery. 99% of all vehicles arrive at their destination safe and sound. Accidents, however, do happen and that is beyond our control.
We recommend using a licensed and insured shipper and making sure that you secure your own insurance on the vehicle before it is shipped. We also recommend enclosed shipping to protect the vehicle.
As a courtesy, we will be glad to help you arrange shipping details if you choose. However, the payment for shipping is separate from the price of the car and will be made directly to the shipping provider.
Finance
Old Town Automobile does not finance directly and we are not affiliated with any financing company. We will be glad to work with whatever financing company you choose.
