Sell your exotic car in San Francisco.

The Bay Area problem is space, not demand

There is no shortage of money or interest here. What there is a shortage of is somewhere to put a car and somewhere to show it. San Francisco garage space is scarce and expensive, peninsula homes have space but sprawl across an hour of traffic, and a private sale means coordinating viewings across all of it.

This is why direct sales are disproportionately popular in this market. The VIN and photos replace the viewing, and enclosed transport collects from wherever the car actually lives.

California specifics

• Transfer paperwork. California requires more forms than most states and errors surface months later. We prepare and file rather than handing it to you.
• Smog. Applicability depends on age and transfer type. We tell you plainly whether it affects your car.
• Planned non-operation. Common on cars stored between uses here. Entirely workable, just a different sequence of steps.

What Bay Area cars are like

Two patterns. Cars that are driven — often hard, on genuinely good roads north and south of the city — with real mileage and good records. And cars that have barely moved, bought and then crowded out by a busy life. The second group needs more attention before sale: sitting produces flat-spotted tyres, aged fluids, dried seals and tired batteries, all of which get inspected.

If your car falls in the second group, do not be put off. We buy stored and non-running cars routinely. It simply changes the conversation from mileage to condition.
