How I do it
I meet the seller at the vehicle location. I note the vehicle: description, specifications, history, apparent physical and mechanical condition. I take up to 150 digital photographs of each vehicle showing as many views as possible of the vehicle or I use the photos you provide.
After the vehicle history, specifications and the photos are properly sized for advertising an advertisement is created and placed on Sleemansclassiccars.com.
Additional advertisements are then placed with various classic car advertisers utilizing the worldwide web and major classic car magazine publications.
When I find a serious buyer for your vehicle, I call you and give you the buyers contact information for you to call the buyer. No buyers will be calling you directly.
You show the vehicle to the buyer and negotiate the sale.
To get started
Call for an appointment for me to meet and see your vehicle.
Provide me a brief history of the ownership, maintenance and/or modifications of the vehicle. You set the price of the vehicle as well as the payment terms.
There is a $40 fee per vehicle for the write-up and photo shoot, as well as $65.00 per $1000.00 of the selling price of the car – with a minimum charge of $650.
We require 120 days of exclusive advertising on each listing.
