Eric provided a stellar experience for us in our quest for a vintage 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate station wagon. Talk about ‘’Holiday Road.’’ We absolutely love ‘’the Beast’’ and are looking forward to years of fun and showing off. Neighbors are already asking if they can borrow her for Christmas tree hauling on the roof. But back to the purchase experience. We live in Minnesota and the car was in Illinois. We bought her unseen and were not disappointed. She was delivered to us in a covered transport, sparkling, and ready to roar down the highway. Eric also arranged for us to add a few bells and whistles to enhance the fun. We owned one of these new in 1996 and this version does not disappoint. Thank you, Eric.

Bought a rare 1990 Mercury Cougar XR-7 5-speed remotely from Eric and the team at 5252 Motors. The entire transaction was smooth, transparent, and professional from initial questions to DocuSign paperwork. On top of that, Eric and his team arranged fast, hassle-free transport directly to my door at an awesome price. They take serious care of the cars they sell and address key maintenance items before listing them. Outstanding outfit for classic and enthusiast cars—highly recommended!

What a phenomenal experience buying from 5252! Eric, the owner, is knowledgeable, easy to work with, transparent, and communicated well throughout the entire experience. They delivered my car to me in another state in an enclosed trailer just a few days after closing the sale. I couldn't be happier and would gladly buy from 5252 again. Stan, who delivered my car, was great to work with as well. Everyone at 5252 really loves their job, and you’ll be dealing with true enthusiasts who know the process.

I can't say enough good things about Eric and the experience that I've had with him and his crew. From the moment our conversations started, until my car was picked up in an enclosed trailer, I knew that this experience was different from all the times ive bought sports cars in the past.Its been 9 years since ive bought a sports car. Wasnt sure I'd get back into one. But Erics wisdom, honesty, kindness, and knowledge when it comes to cars really made the difference. I feel like I asked him a million questions lol, but he was never dismissive, always helpful. Always. That is rare in this day and age.With Erics help, I know the car that I bought inside and out pretty well. He always steered me in the right direction. His recommendations whether it was another shop for a Pre Purchase Inspection, getting the car tuned for fuel that I have access to in my area, and his wisdom and insight on ownership and maintenance is something I will always value.Eric and his crew have literally gone above and beyond for me. I flew down to Chicago to buy the car, and the whole process was a breeze. Showed me around the dealership and its the coolest dealership in my opinion. Super clean building and cars. Eric trailered the car for me to get it inspected at no charge. The place was 1hr away. I now know of 2 shops, both 5 star rated because of him. His camera guy Stan, kindly helped put a recaro car seat in the trunk cause the car came with an extra seat. Stan and Eric saved my wife and I a ton of stress with that!In conclusion, if your in the market for a sports car or classic car, go to 5252 motors and link up with Eric. He's the best. Thank you Eric for all your help and support!

Great experience buying from them. They delivered the car to me in another state in an enclosed trailer. The communication was great during the whole process and delivery was quick, i got the car the day after purchasing. I couldn't be happier and would gladly buy from here again.

Eric is an absolute super enthusiast for all vehicles, make, model, style and year and runs his shop at a Tier 1 level across the board. These world class caliber type of shops are very rare, along with his partner building servicing the most exotic super-cars, from McClaren to Lamborghini, this pairing is one of those movie quality rare gems dealing with vehicles, on the face of this earth. The C5 ZO6 Eric found for us is a pristine example, his receiving us from out of state the day we arrived was nothing short of what you would expect from family, his honesty, integrity and professionalism are the gold standard of any industry. Eric also arranged shipping for the vehicle back to our home state. Thank you Eric and crew, we look forward to visiting you in the future

I was interested in a vehicle they had in inventory and their communication was fast and transparent. They provided extensive amounts of photos and documents on the vehicle. After seeing it in person, it aligned with all the information I was provided. Buying it was a quick and easy process! Even after taking ownership of the vehicle, he was very helpful. About half way through my trip home, the alternator tensioner pulley failed. After I explained to him what happened, he sent me money for the parts and for the inconvenience. Overall, a great experience with them and I will definitely recommend them to others.

Eric is very easy to work with as a salesman, awesome garage and selection. Stood by his product and his word when something went wrong immediately after the sale. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and experience! Will do business again… maybe, I’ll be broke if he keeps getting amazing inventory!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my incredible experience with 5252 Motors and their owner, Eric Gaudi. Words cannot express how thrilled I am with the purchase of one of my dream cars. Eric was always upfront and honest with me about every detail concerning the car. He made sure to get the vehicle inspected and addressed any issues before I took delivery. Not only that, but he also arranged for the car to be paint corrected and tuned on 91, considering E85 is a bit harder to find where I currently live. Throughout the process, Eric's dedication and transparency made me feel confident and well-informed. I truly feel like I made a new friend in the process. I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing a vehicle from 5252 Motors and Eric Gaudi. You won't be disappointed!
