FAQ

How do you select the vehicles offered for sale?

Each vehicle undergoes a thorough analysis: history, traceability, model consistency, mechanical and cosmetic condition, and price/market positioning.

We prioritize classic and vintage automobiles presenting a solid documentation file and a value consistent with the Swiss and international market. Quality systematically prevails over volume.

How can I know if my vehicle can be listed for sale with you?

We accept vehicles corresponding to our editorial line: classic or vintage models presenting a heritage, historical, or collector interest.

If the vehicle does not meet our criteria (insufficient condition, unclear history, inconsistent price positioning), we prefer to decline the mission in order to preserve the credibility and transparency of our transactions.

Why use an intermediary to search for a classic car?

The classic car market relies largely on network, experience, and analytical capacity.

Our support allows you to:

  • access off-market vehicles

  • avoid overvalued or non-compliant models

  • secure the negotiation

  • save considerable time

  • benefit from an objective view on the coherence of the project

The objective is not only to find a vehicle, but to find the right vehicle.

Are you bound by an obligation of result?

Our missions are framed by an obligation of means.

We mobilize our network, our monitoring tools, and our expertise to identify relevant opportunities. However, the availability of a specific model depends on the market, rarity, and defined budget.
We commit to the investment and rigor of the work, not to the immediate existence of a vehicle.

Are fees due for a personalized search?

Yes. Search fees are due at the start of the mission.

They cover the analysis of the specifications, the activation of the professional network, targeted prospecting, and initial steps.
This step formalizes a reciprocal commitment and guarantees a search conducted in a serious and structured manner.

Are the search fees deducted in the event of a purchase?

A partial deduction of the incurred fees may be applied to the final commission if the acquisition is carried out through our intermediary.

The terms are specified contractually at the launch of the mission.

How long does a search mission last?

The duration depends on the model sought, its rarity, and the allocated budget.

Some searches are completed within a few weeks, others require several months, particularly for rare models, matching numbers, or presenting very specific criteria.

A realistic and well-calibrated project considerably accelerates the process.

Do you refuse certain search requests?

Yes. We refuse projects presenting a budget clearly misaligned with the market or criteria incompatible with each other.

Transparency is part of our approach: a coherent project is based on a realistic evaluation of the current classic car market.

How do you guarantee the transparency of a transaction?

Each step is clearly explained: vehicle analysis, valuation, negotiation, structuring of the offer.

Our role is to secure the transaction and provide an objective reading of the vehicle and its value.

Trust is based on clarity of information and alignment of expectations.
