The Ruiz Car Company was established at this Oregon location in 1987 by Mr. and Mrs. Juan Ruiz, where their dealership did business until December of 1999 when they sold the property. After a two year hiatus Mr. and Mrs. Ruiz were back at the old dealership location with a new name. We reopened as Affordable Classics Inc. in 2001. We moved to our new location 19895 McLoughlin Blvd., Gladstone, Or 97027 in August of 2009. Mr. Ruiz began his career in the automobile business in 1978. Over the past 39 years his experience has included sales including wholesale and retail to management to ownership.

I would like to personally thank Juan and Mario for the great service that was given to me. I live in Richmond Texas and am 70 years old and just bought the car of my dreams from them. It was a pleasant surprise to do business with someone that their word means something as with Juan. I graduated in 1969 and bought a 1969 Camaro.

One of the best sales experiences you could ask for. Purchased a vehicle from half way across the country and it arrived almost immediately exactly as described, looked even better than the pictures and runs like a dream. You won't be disappointed with your decision to buy your dream car here even if you live in a different state.

Great shop with some very cool cars and Juan was great to work with. Worth a visit just to see the cars.

I tried three times to coordinate a possible purchase and he never got back to me, I even dropped by twice. I'd just sold my own classic car and have a good chunk of cash to spend on my next one, but it was almost like he didn't even want to sell me anything. just bizarre. Maybe he thought I was just kicking tires(which I'm sure happens there a-lot.) Anyway, it was an error on his part and I'll be doing my business elsewhere. Kinda sad really as the vehicle that I was interested is still for sale there.

I bought a 66 Pontiac GTO from Juan and Mario. It was my first site-unseen purchase and they were ethical and unbelievably patient. I want to publicly thank them for how professional Affordable Classics is and that I now have the GTO I've always wanted. Keep up the good work Juan and Mario!

This is a warning to everyone who wants to buy a classic car from Affordable Classics. We bought a 1967 Camaro Convertible which turned out that this vehicle had massive rust issues and now this vehicle needs to to thru a total restoration (body and paint) for over $ 20,000. The seller was not honest and did not tell us about obvious issues like fist size wholes in the floors, three layers of sheet metal and silicon that was used to close some gaps.

He claims in his own video, the car has no issues nor rust issues, "it's all solid" Take a look at his video (on Youtube: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 4-Speed For Sale @ Affordable Classics Inc) and then check out our video, it's hard to believe we are talking about the same car. In our video we show with his own sales pictures how we were verifiably and deliberately deceived and scammed by Juan Ruiz (the owner).

Please go on YouTube and check it out: We got scammed by Affordable Classics in Gladstone OR | OldtimerZentrum Berlin #46 Several other people have already contacted us and similar things have happened to them. In our video you can clearly see all the evidence. We hope this will help and warns other buyers to have a very close look before buying a car from this company. A special warning buyers from overseas. We tried several times to find a solution with Juan. Unfortunately he didn't answer any mails anymore. Be careful guys.

We purchased our 71 corvette from Affordable Classics 7 years ago. The owners Juan and Judy are wonderful and very fair to deal with. They always have a good selection of classic cars on hand so we catch ourselves driving up from Salem just to see their new additions and talk story

I sold my classic Jeep Sahara 2 years ago and the owner (Juan), was so great and accommodating in every regard. I got my desired price with absolutely no hassle. Currently, I am making a trade with the Owner Juan & his son Mario. I'm certain they will do equally well with this transaction. I HIGHLY recommend this group! They are entirely family owned & operated. I plan to finalize this trade in the next few weeks! I'm excited to trade my vintage Audi for this classic 4x4 vehicle. Shelby C

Great experience I still can't believe I'm driving my dream car. If smiles were currency with this car I would be set for life. Juan and Mario father and son were excellent through the entire process. Would 100% recommend and I will be A return customer with out a doubt! Affordable classics is a great place to buy your next car. I was an out-of-state buyer and they made everything very clear and simple.

I have been a customer of Affordable Classics for many years. It is so refreshing to deal with an honest business. I have bought cars here, sold cars to them and traded cars. In each transaction I have been impressed with how easy they make things. No pressure, Juan and Mario are more than happy to answer any questions you have. You can go on their website to see the cars they have currently, or drop by and see them in person.

I recently sold them one of my classic cars, they checked it over, made me an offer and we made the deal, Juan really made it that easy. Thanks, it is a pleasure to do business with you at Affordable Classics!

These folks are great to work with. Mario and Juan are great to work with, fair and honest. After finding a truck I liked, Mario faced timed with me, did a walk around, pointing out all the flaws, and then did a test drive. He then held the truck till I could drive out to look it over and buy. Bought it and then drove it back 440 miles to Boise. Great experience. I highly recommend them.

This was by far a dream come true and an experience that I never think I would be able to have! Juan and his son Mario were both incredible with their help, knowledge, and customer service! I was able to purchase my 1971 Chevelle 454 from them and it was a painless experience. I work in the auto industry and they treated me just like I treat my guests. 5/5 stars hands down great experience working with them! Thank you for helping me get my dream car.

If you are into classic muscle cars and trucks for sale, then this is the place to buy and sell. Other than car shows, where do you see a collection like what is found here? Scratch off an item from your bucket list and make it a reality. Be different, be unique.

I saw a very nice 1969 Torino on this places website. I called the owner, Juan and he described the car to me in detail. I followed up by hiring a company to do an inspection and road test the car. The car was exactly as it was described. Juan was even nice enough to put the car on a lift for the inspector to see the underside of the car. Very good customer service, so far.

The car got shipped and arrived safely. I couldn't be happier with the car. The paperwork took a little longer to get here than I would have liked. I should have asked that it be sent once the funds were wired. Live and learn, I guess. In any event, Juan is an honest guy. He described my car exactly as it was. He's got some nice rides on his website and his prices are reasonable. Buy with confidence!

I had a contract to purchase a car with this dealer. I sent in a deposit of $1,000 and then paid $190 for an inspection. The inspection turned up performance problems with the engine and transmission. The dealer renegotiated the price from $22,850 to $20,850. we signed a contract at that price and I wired the funds. The deal then calls me back and says his wife was upset with him about the price.

The dealer wires me back the money and then the car is no longer available on his website. So it looks like a written contract means nothing to this dealer. Buyer beware! He has not compensated me for my time or efforts and has disregarded our written contract between us. What I believe has happened is he sold the car for a higher price after we had a written contract but I do not know since the dealer will not say why he is not honoring the original contract of $22,850 of which his wife was pleased with.

All in all what a terrible experience and definitely not an honorable man. I am contemplating taking this to court since I do have a written contract that the dealer is not performing on.
