Introduction

        Hello, I’m Marc Schiliro the owner of MS CLASSIC CARS,LLC.  You might recognize my name or my business name from beautiful classic cars and trucks I’ve listed for sale nationally.  I’ve got 15 years of classic car and truck experience.  I’d like to put that experience to work for you. Over the years I’ve featured many classic cars and trucks at multiple different auctions across the United States. I consign multiple classic cars and trucks at all four of the Barrett Jackson auto auctions every year. I’m considered one of the top consignors at Barrett Jackson.  I’ve had many classic cars and trucks sell in the top 25 highest sale priced vehicles for each event.  They’ve also offered some of my cars as the “Marc Schiliro Collection”. I was fortunate to have Speed TV at my new facility for an interview for Barrett Jackson that aired during the Barrett Jackson auto auction in Palm Beach 2012.  I also have had many cars that have been featured in multiple magazines and multiple websites.  I specialize in beautiful classic cars and trucks that have what I call “The Pop Factor”. I purchase classic cars and trucks that are finished, I redesign other people’s restorations and have also coordinated restorations from start to finish.  I’m currently not doing full restorations as it takes too much time and money.  I love what I do and I’m extremely passionate about it! 

        One year ago I  opened a beautiful new facility located in Seekonk, MA.  MS CLASSIC CARS is open to the public on Saturdays.  We offer about 25 classic cars and trucks for sale. We also offer complete automotive detailing.  Our facility is very neat and organized.  When you call you deal directly with me. I appreciate the opportunity.

Market

        I've been collecting classic cars and trucks for over fifteen years now and have seen a lot happen. I've seen the hobby continue to grow not only at the auctions but also with the amount of television shows, magazines and websites that are related to classic cars in some form or another. I strongly believe the classic car market is a great place to invest in. When the economy is strong, the classic car market is extremely strong. When the economy isn't so strong the classic car market holds its own. I've sold classic cars and trucks in both economic conditions. The reason classic cars make such a great investment is because people are crazy about cars, especially the classics! I've learned it's not just the United States; it’s the entire world. Barrett Jackson stated, "Foreigners can sometimes represent 25% of the registered bidders at one of our auctions." At the Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, AZ 2011 they stated, "There was a registered bidder from every state in the USA.” I've also learned that no matter the gender or age, all different people appreciate this hobby. Another example would be the Barrett Jackson auto auctions; not only do millions of people watch it live on the Speed Channel but hundreds of thousands of people attend these auctions. Every year the attendance of visitors at the event and number of viewers on T.V. increase.

        Over the years I've noticed that the extremely detailed classic cars have always commanded a higher price. Even people who don't have any classic car experience can recognize and appreciate attention to detail. Currently the overall market is on the raise once again. Certain classic cars are on the rise and others are on the decline. Typically, the classic cars that are on the rise are the cars that a lot of people don't own. In other words, there are classic cars that haven't saturated the market. The cars that are at every car show and auction and page on the Internet for sale are the ones that aren't changing in value or are slowly on the decline. Of course, if the car is spectacular it will command a higher price as I mentioned. It's all about supply and demand, not a good or bad economy. Custom cars have remained strong because each car is different from the next one. They each have their own character.

“I’m putting my money where my mouth is”

        I’m just a 36 year old blue collar guy who was working full time selling new and used Mercedes Benz.  I was selling my classic cars and trucks part time.  Although I had my used car dealers license I didn’t have a facility that was open to the public.  Overall things were going just fine.  However, my dream was to open my own classic car and truck dealership.  I decided to give up my full time job with health insurance and a 401K to open a new classic and truck dealership.  I had to invest a ton of money to make that happen and now have a lot more overhead.  Do you think I would’ve done all that if I didn’t think the classic car and truck market wasn’t going to remain strong?  I consign anywhere from three to eight cars at each Barrett Jackson auto auction at no reserve because I know there’s always going to be bidders for classic cars and trucks.

Overall this Jaguar is an amazing car with great history and great condition!

        MS CLASSIC CARS is proud to present a beautiful 1996 Jaguar XJS convertible!  As my website indicates I’ve collected and sold many beautiful classic cars and trucks.  I’ve only had one classic Jaguar which was a 1960 MK-9 Saloon which was truly spectacular and sold very quickly.  The car you’re about to witness was sold new in October of 1996 in California.  A good friend and part time employee of mine purchased this Jaguar from the family of the original owner in 2009.  It stayed in California for 13 years!  He bought it with intentions of keeping but had an older female friend who wanted to purchase it.  He sold it to her and after a few years of ownership she decided to give up driving based on her age. She called him to purchase it back and he did.   One day he came to my showroom in this car and I was blown away by its great looks and great condition. I told him I’d thought it would be a great addition to my collection and a deal was made. 

        Prior to me taking delivery he went through the car completely.  A list of everything is below.  I’ve never driven a Jaguar XJS and after driving this car now I understand why people love them.  This car drives, handles and runs amazing!  When you open the doors you immediately can feel the quality.  The exterior is in showroom condition and is almost flawless.  The paint shines like new and the top is also like new.  All the trim and weather stripping is in amazing condition.  This is obviously from spending its life in a garage and the beautiful California weather. The chrome wheels are starting to show signs of age with some pitting.  The interior is in equally as good condition and when you’re sitting in this car it’s like sitting in a new car.  There are virtually no signs of age in the interior except the front seats which aren’t even worth complaining about.  They're just not flawless like the rest of the interior.  Please keep in mind this car is almost 18 years old!  The power top goes up and down effortlessly.  The trunk compartment is nice and neat.  There’s enough room to store items. 

        The engine compartment is highly detailed and houses the reliable and smooth running 4.0L Inline 6 cyl.  This engine starts right up and purrs like a kitten. The undercarriage is also nice and neat with no signs of abuse from bad roads, weather or neglect. This entire car has recently been serviced and fully detailed.  It’s ready for the new owner and its new chapter in life.
This car is an outstanding value.  Let me explain what I mean.  First, this car brand new was around $60-70,000 dollars which in today’s money is roughly $100,000!  This car was obviously extremely well taken care of and is in excellent showroom condition.  For the price I’ve listed it for it’s a great deal and like money in the bank.  These cars have already hit bottom and if you’ve been following the market they're starting to go up in value.  I’m speaking about vehicles with low mileage and in great condition.  An example would be; with this car you could purchase it, enjoy it for a few years and sell it for close to what you paid give or take.  It’s a great opportunity that can be enjoyed for many years.  Get it before someone else does!

List of items recently done:
•    Full Service
•    New Battery
•    New boot cover
•    New Tires
•    New Brakes

*** Inspection Report***
If you read my introduction tab or visited my website you’ll probably agree that I’m a perfectionist and represent very detailed classic cars and trucks.  My reputation and feedback speaks for itself.  No vehicle is perfect and I want to be 100% upfront about each car.  This car is 17 years old and isn’t perfect.  Please call me at #508-557-0152 or email me with any questions.  I’ll tell you everything I know about the truck and go over the entire exterior panel by panel if need be.

hank you.  Marc Schiliro “The Owner”.

Conclusion

        Classic cars and trucks make great investments and are extremely fun to own.  It’s so exciting to search for a classic, purchase one and watch it come off the trailer, add your own touches, take it for a ride or just look at it sitting in the garage after a hard day at work.  Classic car and truck collectors aren’t just in the United States but worldwide.  The classic car and truck market is growing every day.  It’s seen at car shows and auctions, in magazines and on TV shows.  Get your new classic car or truck today.  You only live once, if you can afford it, do it!

        I do the best I can to represent my classic cars and trucks.  My results, feedback and reputation speak for themselves. Everyone’s opinion of a classic car and truck is different and I encourage questions prior to a purchase. I have a beautiful showroom with excellent lighting and a lift for a complete inspection if requested. Inspections will be scheduled by appointment only.  The closest airport is Providence, RI.  It’s only a 25 minute ride from the dealership.  I can arrange to pick up at the airport.  I also have a dealer plate that would allow for a test drive with a valid driver’s license for a serious buyer.  Please call 508-557-0152 or email for any questions.  Thank you. 

                                                                                                                              Sincerely,
