BROKERAGE SERVICE
Not just placing an add in the paper and waiting for the phone to ring!
From start to finish we do the following so that you don't have to:
1) Collect Vehicle – often people are too busy to organise a second driver and drop the car off to us. We can organise collection of the vehicle.
2) Check VIN and Engine numbers with Porsche – The providence of a Porsche is vital, you need to know exactly what you are selling. We often uncover facts that even the owner is not aware of.
3) Paperwork – all vehicle data is recorded on statutory paperwork.
4) Defects – A thorough inspection is carried out for mechanical and cosmetic defects. All items noted are discussed with the owner and a plan of action is taken. Cosmetic defects are usually dealt with straight away as they hinder the sale process. Mechanical defects are dealt with either prior to sale or at the time of sale when the purchaser is made aware of them.
5) Pre Sale Preparation – All recommendations from the defect list above are dealt with. This usually involves the following:
- Mechanical Defects – for items that can not be dealt with in house we must drop off and collect the vehicle from the respective repairer i.e. air-conditioning specialist, auto electrician, paint and panel shop.
- Cosmetic Defects – All cars are professionally detailed which includes paintwork, interiors and engine bays. Paint less dent removal and upholstery repair are also common.
- Registration Status – Some vehicles are given to us in need of pink or blue slips, again drop off and collection is organised.
6) Photography – presentation and promotion are extremely important. Therefore we take great care in creating excellent photographs of the vehicle. The picture quality is semi professional and all photos are edited prior to being made public.
7) Create Advertisement – many cars are quite rare or contain special features that make them more desirable. We carry out research on the vehicle through our Porsche network to make sure that a car is described accurately. For instance a car may have been produced in limited numbers or may be a special anniversary edition; this is highlighted accurately in the advertising.
8) Upload & Book Advertising – the final add content and photos are uploaded to Drive.com.au, Carsales.com.au, Carpoint.com.au, Dutton Direct.com.au and autohaushamilton.com.au. We also place advertisements in Unique Cars magazine at the owner's request.
9) Receiving Enquiries – when enquiries are received on a vehicle they must be responded to straight away by either phone call or email, additional information such as the following is often requested:
- Photos showing certain parts of the car in more detail.
- Transport quotes for interstate purchasers.
- Recommended insurers for that particular type of vehicle.
- Recommended financiers for that particular type of vehicle.
- Maintenance costs and scheduled servicing.
