Consignment Selling - FAQs
What exactly is Sale or Return, or Consignment Vehicle selling?
What is Sale or Return (consignment) selling?
With a few different names, Sale or Return, SOR or Consignment sale is a popular method of selling your car whereby we broker the sale on your behalf and take an agreed commission on the final sale price. You get closer to true retail value than a trade-in or private sale typically achieves, without the hassle of dealing with buyers yourself.
What are the Benefits of Sale or Return?
Our SOR brokerage service benefits both buyers and sellers.
The biggest benefit as a seller is a better return on your vehicle sale. With each SOR having a fixed pre-agreed commission, it means that we can sell your luxury vehicle at true retail prices and return you the most money possible.
We have the ability to offer the full buying experience to the buyer, including offering finance, part-exchange, warranty and a dealership experience.
Where is my vehicle kept?
When selling with Shinsean, Your vehicle is always kept within our secure showroom, which is equipped with alarms and 24/7 CCTV Operation.
Is Sale or Return different from Part Exchange or an outright sale?
Yes. With Part Exchange or an outright sale, you get an immediate fixed price, typically below retail value. With Sale or Return, you wait slightly longer but achieve a price much closer to true retail, since we're selling on your behalf rather than buying your car ourselves to resell at a margin.
Do you sell all types of vehicle on consignment?
Yes we do! We specialise in supercars, track/modified cars, and classic cars — see our dedicated pages for more on each.
