I purchased a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan. Very satisfied with my experience. This car is immaculate to be a 6 year old car. The purchase experience was great. Shelby was straight up and helpful in this purchase. The day after the purchase I went to an event where several asked me where I got the car. Most all were familiar with Elite Autos and Shelby Smith. They all responded with comments similar to Ive purchased several cars from him, he only sells quality used exotics and will tell you straight. I am very pleased with the purchase, Elite Autos and Shelby Smith.

I cannot express in a more positive way what a great experience I had doing business with Elite Autos. They were total honest and upfront on every single issue and represented the car I was purchasing extremely accurately. Their service options were performed flawlessly and the follow through was awesome. I purchased a high end vehicle without physically seeing the car, but they made every effort to insure I knew exactly what I was purchasing. Thank you all for a great experience and we will most definitely be doing business in the future.

Horrendous attitudes and some of the worst customer service. — I inquired about a car and asked for carfax, financing options, and stated it was a bit overpriced. “Shelby Smith” (CEO/Owner) responded arrogantly that the “price is firm,” and remarked that he didn’t want to waste his time. He’d only answer the other basic questions if I agreed to his high price.— I followed up asking for the other answers and let him know that would determine if I am even interested, and he responded arrogantly against with, “ It’s safe to say we won’t be able to work this deal out. I appreciate the inquiry. “ LOL How thus guy sells any cars is beyond me...

I have been a customer with Shelby and his team at Elite for more years than I can count now. Not only Have they sold me two of the greatest cars I’ve ever owned (Porsche Carrera GT and Ford GT), but they’ve also provided vehicle service. Easily one of the nation’s best exotic car dealers, and their inventory is always absolutely impeccable. It’s difficult to find dealers that have a super sharp eye for perfection; most are simply interested in moving metal. Elite autos is one of those rare dealerships where you know the cars are going to be perfect, or they wouldn’t be on sale there. Highly recommend.

Shelby at Elite autos was top notch on my R8 purchase. Made the deal one day he shipped the car the next day and was in my garage that evening. Wow. Never had a deal like this go so smooth and fast. Would definitely do business again.Ricky

Shelby did an awesome job in every way representing, marketing, and selling my pristine, like new 2006 Ford GT and 2010 Dodge Viper ACR Final Edition for top dollar value in a very short amount of time! Within 2 weeks they had wonderful new owners and homes! He handled everything flawlessly, including shipping both cars and accessories from San Jose, CA with his highly reputable shipper, which put my mind at ease. I’ve highly respected and admired Shelby and Elite Autos for many years, and Shelby and his team have always been very helpful, respectful, sincere, honest, dedicated and detailed for all of my questions and needs. Shelby has the most knowledge and experience with Ford GTs and many vehicles than anyone, and he is the best in presenting and representing all vehicles in detail, including many excellent, detailed pictures and descriptions on his outstanding website! Shelby is absolutely first class, sincere and very reasonable in every way in how he conducts business from start to finish. He did an excellent job in keeping me abreast on all updates and he immediately wired me the proceeds as soon as each of my vehicles sold. I highly recommend Shelby and Elite Autos for selling or buying any vehicle! I never hesitated in choosing Shelby and trusting him with my vehicles. It was truly an awesome experience in every way, and I wouldnt chose anyone else.

We just bought a 2016 Cadillac Escalade Platinum from Elite Autos. Shelby was truly great throughout the whole experience. He kept in constant communication with us. We live in Nevada so we needed to have the vehicle shipped across country and he handled everything! We were more than happy when this beauty showed up just they way he said it was CLEAN! We would definitely deal with Shelby again. He was very honest & efficient throughout the entire process.

I was hesitant buying a car unseen and through the internet, but after talking with Shelby several times, doing some research and having him show me the car on FaceTime, I pulled the trigger. Shelby’s delivery man Larry had the car here the next day, and I am thrilled with my new toy. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

I recently purchased a 2010 Dodge Viper from Elite Autos LLC. The car is unbelievably super clean...looks, drives, even smells brand new...with only 537 miles. Elite Autos LLC is obviously extremely meticulous in the vehicles they acquire. Owner, Shelby Smith was fantastic to work with. Shelby is not only very professional and knowledgeable, he is very sincere and worked with me as I secured financing. It’s a bit unnerving to make such a big purchase from a distance, however, Shelby made the entire process enjoyable. He uses only the best transporters while ensuring vehicles arrive promptly and safe. Shelby has even followed up after the purchase and delivery to ensure all is well with the car and I am completely satisfied with the purchase and process. I can’t imagine ever having a better car buying experience. I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating. Thank you Elite Autos LLC and thank you Shelby!

My man Shelby!!!! Hands down the best experience I have had buying a car that I havent even seen. He made me feel confident just on his energy that I didnt even need to see it because the car was everything he said it was.

I definitely will be buying in the future from my guy!!!! He was patient with me and also very reassuring which is what u need when u spend on exotic cars.

I bought my 06 White/Blue Ford GT from Shelby and he made me feel at ease with purchasing my first FGT. Ive been looking and researching for a year and settled on Elite Autos.The car is in amazing shape and Shelby had it shipped to me very quickly. Being from Canada, I was looking for a reputable dealer with a great car and Elite fit the bill.I needed a few mods on my car before it was shipped and Shelby had everything done prior to the car shipping. This car was a big deal for me and Elite Autos has been great.Thanks Shelby for all your help.

I have bought several high end cars from Shelby, for I want to say 8 years or so. Also he has bought cars from my family as well. He always does what he says. His word is his word. Also he has repaired two of my exotic cars, and they are perfect. If you want an exotic car, or a normal car. I would recommend him to anyone. Even sent my Father his way. Couldn’t be happier!

Shelby at Elite has personally handled all transactions for us, over a number of years, and has never faltered in giving world-class service. He makes the sell or purchase of any exotic/custom vehicle easy, fair and effortless. He will always be our go-to and I highly recommend Elite for any and all car transactions.

Purchased a 300k+car from Shelby Smith this week. Sent funds before even seeing vehicle as he said if i wasn’t completely happy upon seeing it he would return all funds. Car was exactly as described, pristine condition. Communication with him weeks prior to purchase was top notch. Would not hesitate to purchase from him again(in fact would prefer it as I have bought many cars from “high end” dealers and the quality is not always there) if your looking at anything he has go for it!

I just received my 2017 Porsche Turbo S from Shelby and the team at Elite. Absolutely Amazing Job... The car is perfect.... the process was simple and easy. My car was delivered ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. Shelby responded 24/7 to my crazy text and emails and was beyond helpful. Not only will I use them again but I would highly recommend to everyone !

Recently completed a seamless purchase of a 2019 McLaren from Elite Autos. Found the car online, called and discussed the vehicle with Shelby Smith. He answered all our questions and we negotiated a fair deal on a great car. Transaction went smoothly, and he arranged shipping for us. Car was shipped and arrived in absolutely perfect condition. Truly flawless and we were thrilled with it! If you are in the market for a high end automobile, I give my highest recommendation to the team at Elite Autos. They are a top notch dealership who you can trust on your biggest automotive purchase.

I live in Colorado and purchased my dream car, an Audi R8 V10 Plus, in September of 2017 from Elite Autos without seeing the car in person. There were 78 pictures of the car online and although they were excellent pictures, the car was even more beautiful in person. Shelby helped arrange financing and shipping to CO. I received the car 10 days from the day I first contacted him. I will be a customer for life! Thanks again Shelby!

Mr. Shelby bent over backwards to help me get the car of my dreams. I have never had a dealer go as far as he did to sell the car and then helped to get the car shipped to me. I give him 2x5 stars on personality and efficiency. Thanks again Mr. Shelby.Gregg C.

If you are reading all the excellent reviews on Shelby Smith and Elite Autos, you maybe thinking they are too good to be true. That would be a mistake as the excellent reviews are 100 accurate and well deserved.I have known Shelby Smith for over 15 years and have purchased numerous cars from him and sold cars to him over this time frame and I have never been disappointed. I have like many others referred several friends and family to Shelby with similar satisfaction.In life in general but especially in the car business, it is very difficult to find a dealer that you can trust completely and be confident they will do the right thing. With Shelby and Elite Autos, that is a guarantee. If you are in the market for an exotic or any high end premium car, boat airplane, motorcycle, or any motorized vehicle, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not contact Shelby Smith. Test him. He enjoys it.

We have purchased two high end cars from Shelby in the last 24 months. We also had him perform significant modifications on both cars. Every facet of the transaction was absolutely 100% flawless and left nothing to be desired. He is thee guy to purchase from. Period. 09/14/2018, Also, he provides excellent top shelf service. We recently sent one of the two Ford Gts we purchased from Shelby at Elite for some tough work to be done. Again, Flawless follow up and execution.

I live in Maryland and came across Shelby Smith of Elite Autos about 10+ years ago through the Ford GT forum and first let me just say WOW what an all around great guy. I have purchased from him sight unseen because of his high standards in vehicles and have sent friends to him also. He is a well noleigable business man that is out to give you 100% outstanding customer satisfaction. You will have no need to look any further than Elite Autos, so if your in the market for an exotic/ specialty vehicle, customizing or modifications, I would highly recommend Shelby and his team at Elite Autos.

Elite Autos is in a league by itself. Been a repeat customer for over 10 years. Shelbys vehicles are ALWAYS described brutally honest, with the slightest flaws disclosed. His technicians are perfectionists just as he is. Elites reputation is well known and well deserved. Want the cleanest premium vehicles available in the world at the best price....do yourself a favor and go thru Elite.

I was referred to Shelby Smith by a friend who’s done business with him for years. I was initially skeptical thinking how different could he possibly be and what more could he possibly do that I could not negotiate myself. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised. His knowledge of cars and his opinions on what to shy away from was incredibly impressive knowing first hand what moves in the secondary market and what sits. Even more beneficial was his ability to leverage his dealer contacts all over the country to find me exactly what I wanted and negotiate the price as a dealer. He undeniably acquired my car for less than I would have been able to push on the dealer and get it. Once we had secured the vehicle the swiftness of the transaction was tremendous. He had shipping arranged for the vehicle the very next day and continued to follow-up to make sure I was completely satisfied with everything. My advice is simple, call him before you call any dealers, let him demonstrate first hand what he’s able to do for you and shortly there after you’ll be typing your own 5 star review on his behalf.

Shelby is a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and has the best cars and trucks anywhere. Knows his stuff and sticks the nicest hottest cars. Received my brand new 2019 Amg63 G wagon and couldn’t be happier. Never drive one or seen one and just went on his word. Transaction was simple and my new G arrived at my home right on time as promised. Will be buying more cars in the future from Shelby.

Purchasing a high end exotic automobile can be a task of awesome proportions. There are so many variables including rip off sellers, fake cars, abused cars, faulty cars, over priced cars, etc. Many horror stories exist about someone buying their dream care of a lifetime and getting stuck with nothing but problems.I have owned numerous exotic cars and had some good experiences along with some nightmares. I wanted to purchase a specific exotic vehicle and discussed this with several respected car owners I knew around the country. One name kept popping up and that was Shelby Smith with Elite Autos LLC in Jonesboro, Arkansas. People that could afford to buy any car from anyone swore by Shelby.I called him and explained what I was looking for and my price range. He treated me like we were best friends from the get go. He gave me a ton of advice about what to buy and what to avoid and vowed to find me the perfect car for my price. He spent hours with me over several months and he is the most available guy I have ever worked with. True to form, he found me exactly what I was looking for. Shelby has ins with all the exotic dealers and a slew of private owners, so he can pick and choose. He cuts no corners and will guarantee his word in a market that can oftentimes be frustrating for a buyer. Purchasing a high end auto on your own can be a disaster but having a pro on your side can cut through a lot of red tape, wasted time unhappy endings. His fees are extremely reasonable and the guy is very friendly. Getting to know him (we have never met personally) you can tell he works with the very wealthy as well as the average person looking for a good deal on a specific vehicle. What is cool about this guy is that he treats them all the same.I simply cant say enough good things about this guy and his company. In todays car world, trust, work and reputation are hard to come by. You can get all that and more with a simple call to Shelby Smith. This was my first dealing with Shelby, it wont be my last.

I recently found my dream car, a 2016 Dodge Viper ACR. Our relationship began when I called Shelby with a lengthy list of questions, which he answered honestly without hesitation. A few days later, more questions and more answers, followed by photo requests. Each and every time we talked, texted or e-mailed, he was very professional and treated me like a VIP. I wired him the agreed price, and he shipped the car from Arkansas to PA in an enclosed trailer. Needless to say, without seeing the car in person, let alone driving it, it was a tremendous leap of faith. The car was delivered directly to my house! I can honestly say, I have never had such a wonderful vehicle purchasing experience in my life. Shelby is a true professional, and I would recommend him to everyone.Posted by Chris Williamsport, PA

My name is John Connell. I discovered Elite Autos LLC and its owner Shelby Smith about 12 years ago. I consider that a very lucky moment in my automotive hobby. Shelby has modified my two Ford GTs in his amazing shop and helped me decide exactly what I needed. I have also bought several cars from him and sold several cars either through him or to him. He has given me great advise on cars I wanted and I have complete trust and confidence in everything he has done for me. The man is honest and knows his business better anyone I have done business with in this field.

Review №69

I have been a customer of Elite Autos, LLC and Shelby Smith and his team for over a decade now. During this time, I have purchased 3 Ford GTs and a Bentley from the Elite Autos, LLC team. The cars that I purchase, must be 100% original, with no stories and I know that when I see a car of any type in Shelbys inventory, that it is a car at this level of originality and quality unless otherwise stated. As a business owner myself, I know that not every business transaction gets executed perfectly, and this is why I value so highly, the business relationship that I have developed with Shelby and his team over the past 10+ years. Every retail business experiences customer satisfaction challenges, but it is how the top businesses address and resolve those challenges, which separates them from all of the others. Case in point: About 2 months after I purchased my 2nd Ford GT from Shelby, I started hearing an uncommon noise (to me), when I was driving the car. I tried to explain to Shelby what I was hearing and I even tried to record the noise and send it to him, but it was just to difficult to resolve it this way, so what did Shelby do? He flew one of his top technicians at the time, out to troubleshoot my car. Turns out that it was just a slightly dry belt, that started making noise where I live, because I live in a very, very dry climate compared to Arkansas. I have always felt and still do that my most valuable relationships (friendships) are those which have overcome some adversity at one point or another, and Shelby and I have done so. I dont recommend people or businesses very easily or often, but I have recommended a number of my friends to Shelby and his team, and they have bought cars at various price points, and they always call me after the transaction is complete to tell me what a solid and transparent businessman Shelby is and to thank me for introducing them to Elite Autos, LLC. Life is short, do business with the right people.
