PRIVATE SALES

“For the most coveted cars in your collection”

No matter if you are buying or selling a collectible car, the representation and presentation, along with research, inspection, consultation, pre delivery options, transportation and final delivery are but a few of the very key elements required to buy or sell “the right car”.

As Alcazar explains, “You go through the process of enjoying the car, whether you restore the car, having the car, owning the car. What you do during that time period has a lot to do with how much enjoyment you have, but most importantly how successful you are when you decide to change lanes.”

“You can have a car for a period of time and as Jay Leno says, ‘we are merely the custodian, as we all know these cars are going to survive us.’ So, at some point you will likely have a conversation about the car being sold. Looking at it from a transactional point of view makes sense.”

To the surprise of many of many clients, I have told potential buyers; “This isn’t the right car for you. I’ll help you find the one I know you’re looking for”. They will say to me, ‘but don’t you want to sell me a car?’ I tell them; “it’s not about one car, one time. It’s about the relationship we share and the many cars, over a lifetime that we will enjoy together”. It is this expertise, as an advocate for a buyer or seller, is a deeply personal experience and long-time enthusiast customers keep coming back.

One exclusive and unique caveat is; Alcazar mandates all consignments offered through the RS Collector Automobile Services Sales Department, must be onsite for personal inspection inside the 8,000 square foot private showroom. This will ensure personal representation by Alcazar himself and avail the related resources onsite for every element of the transaction from marketing presentation for sellers and pre-purchase inspections for buyers by qualified experts who will appreciate multiple lifts and well-lit conditions to perform this important function.
