| To complement our locating and
sales services, Buxton Motorsports, Inc. will also consign your current
sports or luxury automobile. We are always looking for quality vehicles
to represent, and this service allows our clients relief from the
hassles of advertising their vehicles, answering late night telephone
inquiries, e-mailing pictures to prospective buyers, allowing strangers
to interrupt their evenings and weekends with test drives and “tire
kicking” sessions, etc. Our service also takes the financial risk
out of the sales process. When we handle the sale of your vehicle you
don’t have to worry about a personal check bouncing, receiving a forged
cashiers check, having a money wire reversed, filling out titles and
other documents incorrectly (resulting in frustrations with the
Department
of Motor Vehicles), or being subject to a lawsuit from a less than
honest buyer for an implied or verbal warranty claim. |
| On average we
sell 98% of our consigned
vehicles, and most of the time 25% of our inventory is comprised of
vehicles
consigned to us by clients from all over the United States.
Consignments continue to be a very important art of our business.
When reviewing your options, consider our consignment services to
return a fair market value for your vehicle, have your car advertised
nationally by
auto enthusiasts who are familiar with your vehicle and with the
clientele who will show an interest in it, free up more of your
spare time,
and reduce your exposure to liability. We also have the ability
to increase the likelihood of a sale with our access to enclosed
transportation, aftermarket warranties, financing and leasing options.
|
The Process:
Just
as with our own sales and locating services,
information is vital for the quick sale of your vehicle. The more
information we have the easier it will be for us to find a buyer.
During our initial conversation I will inquire as to the year, make,
model, and mileage of your automobile, as well as more specific items
such as options, ownership and service history, as well as any
aftermarket upgrades that you may have completed. It is now
required that you bring your vehicle to BMI when it is consigned, as it
greatly increases the chance of a quick sale. Not to mention that
it is much easier for us to accurately represent your auto to
prospective buyers and to deal with those buyers when we
have the vehicle in our possession.
|
| Marketing and
selling high-end automobiles is a sport, and our market reach and lists
of connections with other dealers and private buyers is what will get
your vehicle sold. We offer the best and most direct marketing,
and we always attempt to obtain the highest possible sales price.
Your auto will be
advertised not only just in our showroom, but nationally/worldwide via
BMI's web
page on the Internet, to wholesale
and retail dealers who specialize in similar makes and models, on
marque-specific websites and to a network of private buyers that are
currently searching for your specific model vehicle. Aiding in
the sales process is our ability to offer a variety of aftermarket
warranties on all qualifying vehicles. Prospective buyers often
feel a great sense of comfort and peace of mind when considering
vehicles that
qualify for such warranties - which only increases the likelihood of a
sale. Furthermore, BMI now employs several fully enclosed semi
trailers,
making door-to-door transportation of your vehicle from you to it's new
owner
that much easier. |
Requirements
for Consigned Vehicles:
|
Only quality
automobiles
accepted. We will not
represent salvage title, rebuilt title or true-mileage unknown vehicles.
|
Owners awareness of actual
market prices of vehicle, and willingness to accept a fair market value.
1. Accept what your car is worth, based on
confirmed sales and not wishful asking prices on web sites or in
various publications. Asking prices do not set the market!
2. If your car doesn't sell in the first
month, and you really want to turn it into money, be prepared to drop
the price about 5% every two or three weeks until it sells. Keeping an
overpriced vehicle with my company is a waste of our time and
yours. The goal is to sell the vehicle! I guarantee there
is a number at which it will sell; you just might not like it -- at
first.
|
Vehicles should be
mechanically
sound, serviced and in proper
working
order. Offer it for sale as you would want to purchase it.
|
 |
Information about history of
vehicle must be available.
Copies
of service records and a copy of the
title are
very important to our
ability to
retail the vehicle. |
Consignment agreement is
for a minimum 30 day period. We require a reasonable amount of
time to prepare the vehicle for sale, and to market and advertise it
correctly.
|
Car must be detailed and
in retail sales condition. If
it's dirty, our Detail Shop
will do it right!
|
|
|
*Please
note that BMI is not interested in nor will we broker vehicles with
odometer discrepancies, salvage and/or rebuilt titles, or any vehicles
with any such tainted histories. In order to begin the process, a
very reasonable $365.00 deposit is required to cover a full interior
and exterior detail, an installed Schumacher battery tender, our time
in the write up, and any
advertising and marketing expenses that we incur. (If your
vehicle already has a battery tender installed the consignment fee is
only $310.00). Any mechanical
or cosmetic repair necessary to bring a vehicle to salable condition
will be the financial responsibility of the Owner / Consignee. |
Other Fees: |
Our compensation for
our services
will be obtained from the final selling price of the vehicle, and will
amount to no less than 6% of the Gross selling price, with a $1,550.00
minimum, not including the initial $365.00 initial consignment
fee. Any compensation accepted below 6% will be subject to the
approval of Buxton Motorsports, Inc. staff.
