How car consignment in Lake Forest works

Car consignment in Lake Forest is straightforward: you keep ownership while I prepare, present and sell the car on your behalf. I assess its condition and history, review recent comparable sales, and recommend whether a private placement, a curated online auction or a major auction house will serve it best.

Once terms are agreed in writing, I manage the photography, buyer screening, viewings, negotiation, payment and title transfer, and keep you informed throughout. If you would rather not consign, I can make a direct offer instead, which is often a more rewarding alternative to a dealer trade-in.

How it works

From the first conversation to final payment

  1. An initial conversationTell me about the car and what you'd like to achieve.
  2. A candid valuationGrounded in real sales data and thirty years in the market.
  3. The right routeConsignment, auction or direct purchase, agreed in writing.
