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.

$600 Of Value Included, Guaranteed

Not "up to". No cap, no fine print, no minimum sale price. Every car we consign gets:

Consignment-Grade Detail
A more thorough detail than our standalone service, to get your car sale-ready.
$300 value
Professional Photography
25+ professional photos, which other consignment services charge extra for.
$300 value

Over $800 when your car sells for $30k+

We refund your $218.50 pre-purchase inspection on top of the $600 above.

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.

Why Consign With Us

Comparison of selling privately, trading in, and selling on consignment with MV Consignment, across effort, communication, viewings, negotiation, risk, marketing, financial return and timeline.
	Private Sale	Trade-In	MV Consignment
Effort Required	You handle listing, photos, and every enquiry yourself	None — the dealer takes it off your hands	Detailing & photography handled Listing & negotiation handled
Buyer Communication	You field every call, text, and time-waster directly	None — you're dealing with the dealer, not the end buyer	Every enquiry handled for you
Viewings & Test Drives	You host strangers at your home and hand over your own keys	None required	We host every viewing
Negotiation	One-on-one, often with the odds stacked in the buyer's favour	Fixed offer — little to no room to negotiate	Handled by us Backed by real market data
Risk	Exposure to scams and time-wasters, with no safety net	Low risk, but no way to know if you left money on the table	Pre-purchase inspected Vetted buyers, secure settlement
Presentation & Marketing	Your own photos, on your own listing	Not marketed — the car isn't presented to anyone	Pro detailing & photography Listed nationwide — plus overseas buyers
Financial Return	You keep the full price — if it sells at a fair one	Typically well below market value	Fair market value Often beats a trade-in if you're upgrading
Timeline	Unpredictable — could take weeks or months	Immediate	Most sell in 1–6 weeks

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.
