Why Exotic Car Trader?

Private vehicle sales can be daunting for both the Buyer and the Seller. When we created Exotic Car Trader, we had one mission in mind.

Create an exclusive platform where Buyers and Verified Private Sellers could safely escrow high-dollar vehicle purchases with the lowest possible friction.

Verified Sellers

Every vehicle listed goes through our private seller verification process.

ECT Escrow

We can handle the escrow of funds at no additional cost to the Buyer or Seller.

Trades & Financing

Buyers can make trades towards their desired vehicle. We can also provide financing.

3rd Party Inspection

An Exotic Car Trader Team Member can assist you in setting up a third-party inspection. You may also set up your own.

Safe & Secure

Our Transactions Team is world-class and equipped with industry fraud detection tools to ensure a safe and secure transaction.

Nationwide Shipping

We work with hundreds of shipping companies and will provide you with a competitive quote.

Sale Price Promise

The sales price of the vehicle is the price you will pay. There are no market adjustments or bs fees.

It Starts With Your Offer..

When you make an offer the Verified Private Seller is notified Immediately via text message.
‍‍
The Seller can Accept, Counter, or Decline your offer. Once they respond, you will receive an text message notification with their response.

Two Ways to Transact

HOW ECT Escrow WORKS

1

BID OR BUY

We don't create the sale price; the market does. Make an offer on the vehicle you would like to purchase, or if you are happy with the price, click BUY NOW. The Seller may counter, accept, or decline.

2

HOLD THE VEHICLE

Once you and the Seller agree on terms, you will sign an electronic agreement and place a hold on the vehicle for up to 48 hours.

3

WE TRANSACT

As soon as you are satisfied with the vehicle inspection results, our Transactions Team will cross all the T's and dot all the i's. This process includes collecting funds, satisfying any bank liens, and verifying all of the details.

4

YOUR VEHICLE IS SHIPPED

Once the transaction is complete, you may collect your vehicle in three ways. We can assist you in setting up shipping; you may arrange your shipping or pick your vehicle up in person.

HOW THE DIRECT DEAL WORKS

1

PAYMENT INFORMATION

Exotic Car Trader will place a temporary hold on your credit card. If you successfully purchase the vehicle, your card will be charged the Direct Deal Fee. If you do not purchase, the hold will be released.

2

DIRECT DEAL AGREEMENT

Exotic Car Trader will send you a Direct Deal Agreement to digitally review and sign.

3

GET CONNECTED

Your Exotic Car Trader Concierge will connect you with the Verified Seller so that you can coordinate the transaction and collect your vehicle.

4

COLLECT YOUR DREAM CAR

Meet up with the Verified Seller and pay them the difference. The credit card hold will be released if you decide not to purchase the vehicle.
