You need to consider fairly covering all view points with your photos and or optional video for the buyers so as not to hide anything so they can make a clear judgment on your vehicles condition. If the images and/or information given for the listing are not a fair representation of the car your listing will not be accepted.

EXTRAS

You need to consider the position of an offshore buyer wishing to purchase your vehicle. They cannot see it in person. Offering a AA or VINZ pre purchase inspection with your listing will help with its sale as this is an independent assessment of your vehicles condition. Buyers offshore are willing to pay strong but fair prices but expect in return as transparent and honest sale as possible. Lets buy and sell in a way that builds upon a positive community and embraces that we are all stewardess of these iconic cars for a snapshot in time. Our ideal is to preserve this motoring era for as long as possible for all generations to enjoy.

-Other Reasons

You may be tired of the online abuse, immaturity or scammers when trying to sell your vehicle through social media sites.

You may be resentful of the ridiculous listing fees on online auction platforms. The arrogance of these greed driven platforms is now out of control and they feel justified to charge several hundred dollars in some cases for high value vehicles. They no longer offer any true security to the transaction with expensive toll call support lines that lead to dead ends in the event of a problem. There is no real community monitoring as they are also riddled with abusive comments and people wishing to disrupt your sale process.

We remove all of these problems for you and offer a free listing space for serious investment vehicles for serious buyers with serious industry experts managing the process in a highly professional manner.

If require a quick sale or are selling a modern vehicle unsuitable for export we will work to obtain you a cash offer/s through our extensive networks of dealers.

What you have to understand is you will not receive a retail price and let us explain why.

Just like the company you own or work for is required to make money to cover it’s operational / staff costs to provide you with a living so it is with car dealing. There are a lot of financial risk and costs involved in the chain between your car being purchased and resold and the difference between your offered price and retail price is anything but pure profit. Plus keep in mind the dealer is required to back up the vehicle for a lengthy time period and pay for any repairs that may arise. There are many cases where the dealer makes a loss, they do not win every time.

We are here to try and assist you to find the right solution for vehicle disposal and will do our best through multiple wholesale avenues to obtain you a competitive bid to purchase your disposal vehicle with a quick payout. This requires a realistic mindset from all parties involved in the transaction for business to take place.

Do you advertise the vehicles for local sale as well?

-Your Vehicle will only be offered to export markets, this is because you likely will have a high price expectation and don’t want to sell at a wholesale price. We understand your desire and try to provide you with a service that achieves this whilst making a living.

Our income is made up of brokerage fees the offshore buyer pays for organizing the entire sale and import process for them door to door. This may include compliance / registration or other numerous technical import process that differ in international markets. As international sales involve incredibly complex steps the value and security we add to the buyer through a streamlined process coupled with cost advantages of our volume rates mean it is a win win for all three parties. With a local buyer we can not offer that value and they will not likely be willing to pay us for our time. Further more they will also expect us to stand behind your vehicle under local consumer law, this will require margin comparative to risk.

However we understand locals may see your listing, desire to purchase and approach us. Due to requiring a margin on a local sale we will not be able to offer you the same price as an international sale. You will have the option to choose to proceed with a local sale based on a payout price acceptance or continue with offshore targeting.

Can I sell a vehicle with finance owing?

We can not export vehicles with a security against them. All securities will need to be removed prior to the transaction finalizing otherwise you will need to go the dealer wholesale route where we will obtain a sale offer from local wholesalers / dealers.

Can I sell a vehicle if I am not the owner?

You will be required to prove beyond a doubt you are the owner of the vehicle been sold, if not we cannot export the vehicle and the transaction cannot take place.

What currency will I receive if the sale is offshore?

You will receive your local currency at the bank sale rate on the day of the transaction finalizing.

Is there any local support for my buyer offshore?

Yes we have staff based in, Japan, USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand and remote assistance through partnerships in Australia & Canada so we are able to not just ship them a vehicle but take care of everything required to provide your vehicle to them road registered. Simply they purchase and we take care of the rest turn key.

Will I get a fast sale with export?

This depends on the desirability of your vehicle in other markets, the condition, the effort given to pre marketing and also your realism with price. There are many costs involved in getting your vehicle to other markets and not everyone is willing to pay the total price once it all adds up. Coming up with a realistic price expectation is important for results. Regardless classic vehicles are not fast turn over and all though some may sell within days, some can take months or even years depending on how narrow the market is. Patience is key and provided your willing to negotiate with any reasonable purchaser in time your buyer will come.

Can I list my car on here for a price and just wait and see if a buyer comes while I enjoy it?

Sure this is what classic cars are about, an investment you can also enjoy, if you have a price you would be happy to sell for you can put it out for this and enjoy your car while you wait for the day someone willing comes along. They need to be driven sometimes to maintain condition. What we ask is you be transparent with us if this is your plan. Also we ask you keep us update with details such as mileage and any other defects that may occur with usage.

Is the transaction secure?

Yes we manage the entire process and you will be paid in full before your car leaves your driveway. We only accept TT payments like Swift, Fed Wire etc. that can be tracked for AML requirements. We do not work with Pay Pal, Crypto or Bullion etc. This also avoids any issues for the purchaser with customs clearance etc.

Remember your part will also be to provide a secure transaction for the seller and you will be required to prove beyond a doubt that you own the vehicle for sale and that it is in your possession in the condition stated at the point of transaction.
