How It Works

From Drop-Off To Sold

Step 1

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Every registered vehicle we consign is inspected before it goes to market (race cars excluded) — organised entirely by us, at our partner workshop Spargs Auto Tune, or via a mobile inspection. You don't lift a finger.

Step 2

Detailing & Photography

A professional detail and a full photo set — video too on Premium and Signature — so your car shows at its best from the first impression. Social media marketing is included with Premium and Signature.

Step 3

Nationwide Listing & Marketing

Listed across TradeMe, Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, AutoTrader and more, reaching buyers across the country — we deliver nationwide, not just around Auckland. Premium and Signature packages are marketed globally too, with all logistics handled by us.

Step 4

Viewings & Finance

We manage all viewings, test drives, negotiations, finance, mechanical warranties, servicing, WOF, and more — so you don't have to deal with any of it directly.

Step 5

Negotiation & Settlement

Change of ownership and hand-over completed, with payment made to our sellers within 12 hours.

Pricing

Simple, Tiered Packages

Every package includes professional detailing, photography and full-service selling. The price shown is what you pay us — the pre-purchase inspection and the optional TradeMe listing fee are billed separately, at cost (see below). Premium and Signature include a basic TradeMe listing.

What You Could Walk Away With

A worked example on the Essential package, in the 7% commission bracket — real numbers vary by vehicle and package.

Sale price (example)$34,995
Essential package–$189
Commission (7%)–$2,449.65
Pre-purchase inspection (refunded on sale)$0
Storage (~4 wks avg)–$80
You keep$32,276.35

On the North Shore or close to Riverhead and keeping the car with you while it's listed? No storage fee applies, so you'd keep $32,356.35.

Two Costs We Never Mark Up

Pre-Purchase Inspection

$190+GST at cost

Required for every registered vehicle we consign (race cars excluded) — organised entirely by us, at our partner workshop, Spargs Auto Tune, or via a mobile inspection. The inspector charges $190+GST and you cover that upfront; for vehicles that sell for over $30k, we refund it once your sale completes. We add no margin either way — it protects the buyer, and it protects you.

TradeMe Listing Fee

$79–$500 at cost

A basic TradeMe listing is included with Premium and Signature, with discounted upgrades to a Standard or Premium listing. On Essential it's optional and scales with your vehicle's value. Not every car needs it — give us a call and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for yours.

Commission (charged on completed sale)

Under $10k: Please call$10k – $30k: 9%$30k – $60k: 7%$60k – $80k: 6%$80k+: 3-5%, priced individually

Rates shown are indicative, and actual commission can vary from car to car. Every vehicle over $80k is priced individually, between 3% and 5%: on a $100,000 sale that's $3,000-$5,000.

Storage

$20/week per vehicle while it's stored with us.

On the North Shore or close to Riverhead? You're welcome to keep driving your car, or keep it stored at your place, while it's listed. No storage fee applies.

Step 1 of 5

Step 1 of 5: What's the number plate?

What's the number plate?

Why we ask: Your plate tells us the exact make, model and year, so you don't have to type any of it.

No plate, such as a race car or an unregistered classic? Type the make and model instead.

General comparison based on our own experience of consignment sales. Timeframes describe past sales and are not a guarantee — how quickly any vehicle sells depends on its price, condition and demand. We don't guarantee a sale or a particular sale price.
