For vehicle availability, appointments, purchase questions, consignment, restoration, dry ice cleaning, and shipping.
Please call before traveling so we can confirm the vehicle is available and have the right team member ready to assist you.
A direct, personal approach
Contact a classic-car team that understands the whole transaction
A collector vehicle is not an ordinary purchase. You may need to confirm history, condition, records, ownership documents, inspection access, transportation, restoration needs, or the details of buying from another state. Our goal is to give you a clear point of contact and help you ask the right questions before making a decision.
Desert Private Collection is a family-owned, owner-led classic and specialty automobile dealership located in Indio, California, near Palm Desert and Palm Springs. Buyers contact us from throughout California, across the United States, and internationally. If you cannot visit in person, tell us what you need to see and understand. We can discuss available photographs, videos, records, inspection arrangements, purchase steps, and transportation planning for the specific vehicle.
If you are selling or consigning a vehicle, provide the year, make, model, mileage, identification number, ownership status, location, photographs, service history, modifications, known needs, and your preferred timing. Complete information helps us evaluate the request and respond efficiently.

Open Turn-by-Turn DirectionsContact and appointment questions
Do I need an appointment to see a vehicle?
An appointment is strongly recommended, and Saturday visits are by appointment. Calling first allows us to confirm that the vehicle is available and prepare for your visit.
Can I buy a classic car without visiting in person?
Many collectors purchase remotely. Ask for the specific photographs, videos, records, inspection access, purchase terms, and transportation information you need. An independent pre-purchase inspection can help you evaluate the car before making a final decision.
Can I have a vehicle independently inspected?
Contact us to discuss reasonable inspection arrangements for the specific automobile. Choose an inspector who understands the make, model, and type of evaluation you require.
Can you help arrange shipping?
We can discuss transportation planning for domestic and international buyers. Rates, routes, timing, equipment, and coverage depend on the individual shipment and the written terms of the transportation provider.
What should I send if I want to sell or consign my car?
Send the year, make, model, VIN or chassis number, mileage, title status, location, photographs, service and restoration history, known defects, modifications, and your expected timing. Please do not leave out known mechanical or ownership concerns.
How quickly will I receive a response?
We respond as promptly as practical during business hours. A detailed inquiry is usually easier to route and answer. For a time-sensitive matter, please call the dealership directly at (760) 600-5284.
