Consign Your Classic
Why Buy From BOS?
|
Whether you are an avid collector, or a casual hobbyist, you are doubtlessly
aware how difficult it can be to sell your classic car at a fair price
in today's collector car marketplace.
There is nothing more frustrating than spending time and money marketing a fine car, and receiving little more in return than an endless string of lowball offers from bargain hunters, or insulting questions and commentary from individuals who, while having no money to actually purchase your car, feel it is their duty to tell you that the stem caps on your 1965 Amphicar should have been blue!
Of course, you can always go the auction route.
But, as a lot of hobbyists have learned the hard way, the only one that nearly
always comes out on top in an auction situation is the auctioneer. After charging
YOU a fee for the privilege of
allowing the auctioneer to earn 15 - 20% on the sale of your car, they then
charge the buyer a fee for the right to bid on your car. Then, the buyer is
going to give you top dollar for your car,
after battling shill bidders employed by the auctions, outright hucksterism,
and the auctions normal unwillingness to stand by the representations made by
long line of scam artists that
sell their cars at auction, right? Wrong. The major auto auctions are
a sucker's game, unless you are a smart buyer.
Classic Car Consignment Program
Best of Show Automotive's classic car consignment program can take the pain
and aggravation out of the selling process, while assuring you of top dollar
for your investment-grade
collector car.
First, let's start with our selection process for car consignment. Best
of Show only deals with #1 or strong #2 vehicles. At any given time, we
have between $4-5M of our
own cash on the street in inventory and restoration projects. We are very
picky about what we will put on our showroom floor. Conversely, if you have
a
high quality
collector car, what better place to sell it than in a showroom filled with
high dollar cars? Where is your car going to look its best: In the local
auto trader, or in a showroom surrounded by LS6's, Hemis, Shelby's and exotics?
If we decide to take your vehicle on consignment, the process is very simple. First, we arrange the transport of your vehicle to our showroom. BOSA will charge a $1.00/mile fuel surcharge for the delivery of the vehicle to the show room. Second, we detail your vehicle, FREE OF CHARGE. Third, our mechanics give your vehicle a complete safety check, and we provide you with a report of any items we feel need to be repaired in order to make the car saleable. We can handle the repairs at our normal shop rate + any parts that are necessary. Fourth, we conduct a professional photo shoot of your collector vehicle, and then we unveil it to the world, with an accurate description of your car's condition.
In addition to showroom floor time, where your car will be seen by high dollar collectors who visit us from all over the world, your car will be listed on our website, and on five internet storefronts that we market from, which drive traffic to our website. In total, our marketing sites average more than 1.1 MILLION hits per month.
Your vehicle is stored in our heated/air conditioned and highly secure facility, which has 24 hour security and 24 hour redundant camera surveillance. We are adequately and properly insured for the full value of your car.
Our reputation in the market is a huge factor in our ability to market and sell your car. A sophisticated buyer and/or collector wants to deal with a known entity that has a reputation, and will stand behind their representations. Such a person is much less likely to purchase from a private owner, or someone operating out of a warehouse space.
As a legitimate, licensed used car dealer, Best of Show can handle the transaction from start to finish, assuring that all laws are complied with, and that the paperwork is handled properly.

program is a very attractive alternative to the discriminating hobbyist
who wants
a
fast, painless transaction.
Our car consignment program is entirely contingency fee based. There is no fee to you if we do not sell your car, aside from the transportation of the vehicle. Fees range from a 5% contingency on a 6-month consignment to 7% on a 90-day consignment.
