Why GiveMeTheVIN is the Best Way to Sell a Classic Car
For car enthusiasts, selling a classic car can be a deeply personal experience. Your classic car is so much more than transportation – it’s a friend that is part of your story. So, when it’s time to sell your classic car, you want a buyer who understands both the financial and emotional value of your car. And that’s why GiveMeTheVIN.com is the best way to sell a classic car.
Unlike Carvana or CarMax, which rarely buy classic cars at all, GiveMeTheVIN.com has decades of experience handling specialty vehicles. Our founder, John Clay Wolfe, is a lifelong car enthusiast known for discussing collector cars on his nationally syndicated radio show. We understand what makes a ’69 Camaro, a ’57 Thunderbird, or a classic Porsche special – and we know how to price them so that you get the most money when you sell your classic car.
Why Most Retail Buyers Don’t Buy Classic Cars
Retail car buyers focus on late-model vehicles they can rapidly sell to mainstream consumers. Cars over 20 years old often fall outside their business model. Retail buyers like CarMax simply don’t have the audience for collector classic vehicles, and for the most part Carvana’s online infrastructure can’t accommodate unique classics that vary so widely in value and condition.
GiveMeTheVIN.com, on the other hand, works with specialized wholesale partners who actively seek out collectible and classic cars. We know the difference between a driver-quality classic car and a Concours-ready restoration. That experience translates into accurate valuations and the stronger offers and the most money when you sell your classic car.
The Pitfalls When You Sell Your Classic Car Privately
Classic car owners often assume they’ll make more selling privately, but that approach comes with serious drawbacks. Finding qualified buyers takes time. To begin with, many so-called classic car collectors are really flippers looking for bargains.
Additionally, advertising your classic car on specialty sites or forums can attract everyone from time-wasting ‘looky-loos,’ tire-kickers, and no-shows to thieves and scammers who can cost you thousands of dollars.
Your time is extremely valuable – so you have to ask yourself how much it really costs you to give up multiple weekends or evenings wasting time on buyers who aren’t serious. We’ve also seen classic car sellers lose thousands of dollars after accepting fake cashier’s checks from private buyers – or getting caught-up in other in-person or online scams.
GiveMeTheVIN.com is fast and easy and never wastes your valuable time. We also eliminate the risk of bad checks and other scams with verified payments and guaranteed transactions.
Why Auctions Aren’t the Answer to Sell Your Classic Car
Classic car auctions can be exciting, but they also come with a great deal of uncertainty – as well as often exorbitantly high fees that can eat up your profits. Between seller commissions, entry fees, transportation, and detailing, you could spend several thousand dollars before your car even crosses the block. And if bidding is slow, you might be forced to accept a disappointing sale price or pay withdrawal penalties.
GiveMeTheVIN.com offers the best of both worlds. You get a fair offer fast, without gambling on an unpredictable auction.
Personalized Way to Sell Your Classic Car
Every classic car we buy is handled by a dedicated and experienced human car buyer who works with you one-on-one throughout the entire car buying process. They’ll discuss your car’s history, unique features, restoration details, and any upgrades to ensure your offer reflects its true value.
If you’ve invested in performance tuning, new paint, rare options, or anything else that increases your classic car’s value, tell us. We want your offer to be right the first time, and your designated human buyer will adjust it if something was missed. This ensures that you get the most money when you sell your classic car at GiveMeTheVIN.com.
Nationwide Pickup of Classic Cars & On-the-Spot Payment
We understand that many classic cars aren’t daily drivers, so convenience matters. You may have your classic car in storage at another secure location away from your home. And when you sell your classic car privately you may end up making 10 or 20 trips just to show your car.
In most cases, GiveMeTheVIN.com offers free nationwide pickup, including major metropolitan areas. If you prefer, you can drop your car at one of our many partner locations across the continental U.S. This means one trip – and one trip only – when you sell your classic car to GiveMeTheVIN.com.
And, you’ll receive payment immediately with a live, cashable Bank of America check!
