How We Work
Listed Motors (LM) is a premier Classic Car Brokerage and Consulting firm with nationwide reach. We leverage an exclusive network of qualified buyers, investors, and collectors to expertly market your vehicle. Additionally, we amplify your car's visibility through strategic promotions across leading online partner platforms.
What Sets Us Apart
Listed Motors sets itself apart by eliminating listing fees, reserve prices, and storage charges, which are common in traditional auction or brokerage models. Unlike competitors, we ensure sellers retain possession of their vehicle until it’s sold, while marketing directly to a private network of qualified buyers, collectors, and investors for a more personalized and efficient sale process.
Our Process
Vehicle Submission
The seller submits a vehicle form online with the sale price, description, and photos. We offer referrals to professional photographers and detailers who can visit the seller's location for high-quality photos and video, or the seller may use their own. Using a referred partner's services does not guarantee vehicle acceptance, and the seller works directly with the photographer or detailer. LM can assist with crafting a professional vehicle description if needed.
Listing Verification
LM reviews the vehicle submission and decides whether to accept it based on the sale price, marketability, and likelihood of a successful sale. If accepted, and once the executed agreement and required documents (including a copy of the vehicle title, front and back, and verification of the seller’s unexpired driver’s license) are received, the vehicle is listed on LM and partner sites. The ad remains in pending status until these documents are provided.
Listing Promotion
LM then begins actively marketing the vehicle to a targeted group of qualified buyers, investors, and collectors within our exclusive network. This includes promoting the listing through our proprietary channels as well as on multiple partner sites specializing in luxury and classic cars. We utilize tailored marketing strategies to reach the most relevant audience, ensuring your vehicle is exposed to potential buyers who are specifically looking for high-value cars. Additionally, LM leverages relationships with industry professionals and influencers to increase visibility and generate interest.
Transaction Process
Once a buyer contacts LM to inquire about the vehicle, we facilitate communication between the buyer and seller to discuss the purchase. If the buyer wishes to view the car or test drive it before committing, LM will arrange the connection between both parties. After both buyer and seller agree on a sale price, LM ensures a smooth transaction by handling the exchange of funds. After the seller and LM agree on a sale price, LM adds a reasonable commission above that, which is paid by the buyer, to cover our marketing and promotional costs. The buyer sends payment to LM, and upon receipt, we forward the net proceeds to the seller. The buyer will review the title for any liens, and if applicable, will work directly with the seller’s bank to settle any outstanding balances. LM does not facilitate lien resolution or deal with lender paperwork.
Finalization & Delivery
Once the seller receives the sale proceeds from LM, the buyer and seller will coordinate the transportation and pickup of the vehicle. The bill of sale is prepared by both parties involved in the transaction. As an added convenience, LM provides links to trusted transportation companies, along with financing and insurance options to assist both the buyer and seller in completing the sale process smoothly.
Important Note
Listing a vehicle with LM is completely free, with no storage charges or risk to the seller. Sellers retain possession of their vehicle until it is sold. Unlike traditional auction sites, we do not charge listing fees, impose unrealistic reserve prices, or limit exposure time. Sellers also avoid the costs of shipping their vehicle to distant consignor dealerships or auction sites, and then shipping it back if unsold. LM markets directly to a private network of qualified buyers, collectors, and investors. However, LM does not verify the accuracy of vehicle descriptions, nor do we guarantee the roadworthiness, functionality, authenticity, or condition of any vehicle listed. We do not inspect or appraise vehicles. Buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence, and by using the site, they agree to these terms.
