What to Check Before Buying a Classic Car from Luzzago 1975
Updated
Before buying from Luzzago 1975, verify four things on the specific listing: the car's year, model and service history; whether the price is fixed or "Prezzo su richiesta" (price on request); what the financing options cover; and the final terms confirmed directly with the dealer by phone or email. Luzzago 1975 is a Brescia-based historic car and motorbike dealer that has operated since 1975 and presents itself as a specialist in classic and historic vehicles. This guide applies to buyers evaluating a listing on luzzago.com before making contact or committing.
Start with the vehicle details in the listing
Each listing on the site carries a short set of identifiers. Use them to confirm you are looking at the right car before anything else:
- Model and year — for example, "Porsche 911 993 Carrera 4 Coupè Manual - 1995" or "Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider S2 (101.03) - 1961."
- Service history note — some listings state "Complete service history" (for instance, the 2009 Porsche 911 997 Targa 4 Tiptronic S and the 1995 Porsche 911 993). Others, such as the 1933 Morris Cowley 1500 2 Seater Tourer, carry no such note.
- Condition and originality claims — the site frames classic cars as "pieces of art" and status symbols; treat that as positioning, not a condition report. Ask for documentation.
The practical step: note the year, model and any history statement from the listing, then ask the dealer to confirm them in writing, along with details the listing does not show (mileage, restoration records, matching numbers where relevant).
Check whether the price is fixed or on request
Listings use two price formats, and they lead to different conversations:
| Price shown | Example listings | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed figure in euros | Morris Cowley 1500 2 Seater Tourer (1933) at €33,000; Porsche 911 993 Carrera 4 Coupè Manual (1995) at €89,000; Maserati Spyder i.e. (1990) at €33,000; Alfa Romeo Spider 1300 "Coda Tronca" (1977) at €25,000; Jaguar MKII 3.4 (1963) at €35,000; Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider S2 (1961) at €65,000 | Use the figure as the starting point; confirm it is current and what it includes |
| "Prezzo su richiesta – P.O.R." | Porsche 911 997 Targa 4 Tiptronic S (2009); Morgan Plus 4 (2005); Bentley Continental GTC Mulliner Park (2008); Triumph TR3 (1957) | Ask for the price directly; it is not published |
Most listings also show a "Financing options" label. The site does not publish rates, terms or eligibility, so ask what the financing actually covers and whether it changes the cash price.
Confirm the services that affect the purchase
The site lists services beyond the sale itself: sales advice, shipping, financing, a consignment service, and an option to offer your vehicle. For a buyer, two matter most:
- Shipping — relevant if you are buying from outside Italy; confirm cost, method and responsibility before agreeing.
- Sales advice — useful for first-time classic buyers who want guidance on a specific car.
Consignment and "offer your vehicle" are seller-side services; they tell you the dealer handles cars on behalf of owners, which is a reason to confirm who currently holds title to the car you want.
Contact the dealer to confirm availability and terms
The site gives direct contact details: phone +39 030 2411531, +39 338 7855045 or +39 335 5350022, email [email protected], and the address Via della Mandolossa n° 65, 25030 Roncadelle, Brescia, Italy. The site also offers a newsletter for news and promotions, and a virtual tour of the headquarters.
A useful message covers: the exact listing, current availability, final price (especially for P.O.R. cars), what the service history note refers to, financing terms, shipping to your location, and paperwork for export if applicable. Get the answers in writing before paying anything.
Common sticking points
- Treating "Prezzo su richiesta" as negotiable or as free information — it simply means the price is not published; you have to ask.
- Assuming "Complete service history" means a full restoration file — ask what documents exist.
- Skipping the title question on consigned cars — confirm the seller's authority to sell.
- Ignoring shipping and export costs — these are separate from the listed price and are not shown on the site.
