fair consignment fee

IYO, if a business solicit you re: helping to sell your car how much of a fee do you feel is reasonable for them to do all the dirty work??

If a flat fee how much and if a % what # is reasonable??

I would think it would depend on the sale value of the car. The higher the value the fee should be lower.

Try to get an idea of Retail and wholesale value of the car. Dealers will offer wholesale and retail is close to prices advertised on the web. If a broker provides a reasonable improvement on wholesale and a slight discount from retail you win. On a used C7 like mine I would expect to pay a broker a few Thousand $ to avoid issues but make sure the deal is solid and real cash is in the bank before they collect commission. For your ZR1 it might be worth it to pay more to avoid test pilots..

If it's for the zr1.....Bring a Trailer (with a reserve if need be).

The problem with BAT for us Canadians is most people that are on there are US people and they generally won't touch a Canadian vehicle with the extra BS of getting the car over the border so your car probably won't meet reserve.

1 place contacted me wanted a flat $5k fee to help sell the car a month or so back (somewhat reasonable), different place the other day is looking for a 6% + HST commission to sell the car. 6% of what the car might sell for you are looking at a 5 figure commission. No F-ing way in hell I would leave that on the table for a business to sell my car.

I have an ad, not actively looking to sell but with the current market it'll take the right amount for me to part with the car, that's all I will say.
