How car consignment in Rancho Santa Margarita works

Car consignment in Rancho Santa Margarita 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
