Private vehicle acquisition · UK
The right car.Properly bought.
A discreet, invitation-only service for clients who value good judgement, real negotiation and one accountable point of contact.
01Private sourcing
The plain truth
We find the car. We test the story. We negotiate the deal.
You buy directly from the supplying dealer. No hidden stock, no marked-up middleman price and no pretence that every car is “exceptional”.
02A considered way to buy
Access matters.
Judgement matters more.
We look beyond the obvious listings: manufacturer networks, trusted independents, cancelled orders and credible incoming stock.
Then we do the less glamorous work: history, specification, condition, seller quality, price position and the compromises that deserve saying out loud.
03The working method
Simple for you.
Thorough behind the scenes.
04How a brief is handled

What the same deal costs you, both ways.
Move the sliders. Everything recalculates, including what a value-based fee would have charged on the identical result.
Our fee is 20% of what we negotiate off the dealer’s opening position, including VAT, and is invoiced separately once the deal is evidenced in writing. You pay the supplying dealer directly, so we never hold your money.
