THEÂ PROCESS
1. Inspection
Step 1 in determining the value of a vehicle is a thorough, 32-point inspection.  An accurate evaluation of the car’s condition is critical for pricing and developing a sales plan.  We pride ourselves on representing our vehicles accurately, as it’s ultimately in the best interest of both parties.  The results are reviewed with the owner before listing it and any needed repairs are suggested. A safe operating vehicle is paramount.
2. Appraisal
Using specific classic vehicle valuation resources, we research your car’s potential value. To fully understand the market, we rely on recent auction results, comparable cars, and general market conditions.
3. Market the Vehicle
We detail the vehicle, take photographs, write the ad, and market to its target audience. We place the ad on our website (and others) and show the car to potential buyers in our showroom. Check out our Listings page to see some of the cars currently for sale.
4. Answer Calls & Emails
We field the phone calls and answer the emails and we’ll keep you updated on sales activity and offers to buy.
5. Negotiate the Deal
We communicate with buyers and sellers to bring both parties together for a win-win settlement. We’ll finalize and execute the necessary paperwork and help coordinate lien payoffs, titles, etc.
