Selling a Car

There has never been a better time in the history of vintage and classic automobile collecting to sell a historic vehicle at auction. With the U.S. economy the strongest it has been in 30 years, longtime connoisseurs of fine automobiles are increasing their attendance at auction events to purchase vehicles for their collections. Additionally, many 'new economy' affluents are entering the market flush with disposable income, and an appetite for acquiring the finer things in life. For those selling their vehicles through a Manor & Street motor car auction, the financial health of the economy combined with our worldwide marketing effort gives owners an excellent opportunity to sell their cars for maximum return. At Manor & Street we are always considering new and inventive ways to reach the buyers that matter most. Our current pre-sale marketing and consignment program is designed to give sellers every opportunity to showcase their automobiles in the best possible light. Please review the additional text [Page 2] [Page 3] of this document to learn more about consigning your vehicle to a Manor & Street Motor Car Auction. Thank you for your interest in Manor & Street. Advertising At Manor & Street we understand how important marketing an event to the public can be. Presentation is everything in giving potential buyers the perception that the auction is something special, and that annual attendance is a must for anyone serious about collecting. Making proper presentation always starts with the gathering of information about the vehicles being consigned. This means a little effort on the part of consignors to supply good and thorough information about their vehicles well in advance of the sale. In order for consignors to be considered for inclusion in Manor & Street's print and electronic advertising program for upcoming auctions, consigners must send in a prepaid electronic or printed pre-consignment form, along with two (2) high quality 35mm slide transparency photographs (prints or poloroids not accepted) of their vehicle(s), no less than sixty (60) days prior to the starting date of the auction. Our marketing specialists will process the information given to determine lot number position(s), whether to feature vehicle(s) in print advertising (vehicles featured in advertising is at the sole discretion of Manor & Street), and create an electronic visual catalog listing. The process is well worth the effort. Statistics show that automobiles that receive advanced advertising exposure can help increase net returns to the seller by as much as 25%. The consignment fee is the same whether or not a consignor pre-registers his or her vehicle(s) in time to receive advertising exposure, so please consider the disadvantage of not consigning early.
