Consignment Benefits
In today’s busy world, time seems to be our most valuable resource. When it comes to selling your classic or special interest vehicle, consigning with a reputable consignment company removes all the headaches and aggravation of selling your pride and joy. It also helps protect you from frauds and scams.
Professional Advertising and Marketing
Classic Auto Mall presents your vehicle to a worldwide audience with professional photographs and a thorough, informative, and accurate written description. This marketing can be the difference between a sale at the proper price and the potential buyer looking at other options.
The days of a two sentence description are gone because people want to understand the history, provenance, running status and decoding of the drivetrain, trim tag and vehicle identification number (VIN). From a marketing perspective, Classic Auto Mall has the resources and volume discounts to market your vehicle worldwide across many platforms and websites cost effectively, improving the chances of the car selling quickly at the correct price.
Convenient While Saving Time
Selling your vehicle on your own means adjusting your schedule for strangers to look at your car at random times of the day, evening, or weekend. If and when the prospective buyer arrives, the car you spent countless hours in the garage restoring, detailing and fixing, may be picked apart by a stranger telling you everything that’s wrong with it to try to try buy it at a lower price.
We Reduce Potential Scams, Fraud and Risks
Selling a car privately can lead to the potential for scams and frauds which can cost you an enormous amount of money. We institute extra precautions to ensure the sale is legitimate, secure, and safe and you get the money you deserve without any worries.
What happens when the prospective buyer wants to give you a check and the banks are closed? With a professional handling the sale, the pitfalls of forged checks and scams are eliminated. If a buyer brings cash, are you sure it’s legitimate or even worse, could it be counterfeit?
Shipping The Vehicle
Do you have a list of reputable transportation companies to help the buyer get the car to its new home? Most buyers don’t know how to arrange shipping and therefore will look elsewhere when that service is not offered. This also means private sellers are limited to selling to a small range around their home, limiting the chances of selling it quickly at the desired price.
Long Distance Buyers
What about potential buyers who are hundreds or thousands of miles away, or even overseas? Today’s overseas buyers want to make one call for purchasing, shipping to the port, navigating customs, and shipping to their country. The advent of third-party inspection companies means that a long-distance buyer can feel more at ease with a fresh set of neutral eyes looking at their potential purchase. If you don’t know where to direct the buyer for that service, they may look elsewhere. Classic Auto Mall eliminates all these issues, and once everything has been processed, we safely complete the transferring of funds.
The Buyer Also Has Benefits
From the buyer’s perspective, when purchasing from a dealer versus an individual, there is an added layer of protection in case something goes wrong. The buyer knows he’s getting what he wants and that it will be shipped safely because the Classic Auto Mall, as consignor, does the homework because we need to maintain the highest reputation.
