Sell Your Car

Selling a high-value classic muscle car requires the right audience, the right marketing, and a partner who understands what the car is actually worth. A private sale through a classified ad gets you local buyers at local prices. Selling through Pedal to the Metal gets your car in front of serious collectors across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, marketed professionally, priced correctly, and handled from start to finish. This guide explains exactly how the process works.

We offer three paths depending on your situation and what works best for the car.

Consignment is the most common route. We take the car into our inventory, handle all photography, videography, listing, and marketing across our international sales platforms and social media channels, and sell it on your behalf. When the car sells, you receive your agreed payment. This is the right choice if you want maximum exposure and market-rate pricing without the hassle of managing the sale yourself.

Direct purchase means we buy the car from you immediately. This is the fastest option – no waiting for the right buyer – and works well if you need liquidity quickly or want a clean, simple transaction.

Trade-in allows you to exchange your car for one of the vehicles in our inventory. If you are moving on to your next dream car, this is often the most efficient way to handle both transactions at once.

Send us high-quality photos and details of your car via email or WhatsApp. We need images of the exterior from all angles, the interior, the engine bay, and underneath the car, along with any documentation, history files, and specifications you have. Our team will review everything and come back to you with a proposal and the best path forward. Contact us at [email protected], [email protected], or WhatsApp +31 6 25 19 61 76.

Once we agree on terms and sign the agreement, the process moves quickly. If you are consigning the car, our team creates a professional listing with photos, videos, and a tailored description that highlights everything a serious buyer needs to know. The listing goes live on our website, across major international sales platforms, and through our social media channels, which have a substantial following of qualified buyers globally. When the car sells, you receive your agreed commission or payment – transparent, simple, and on agreed terms. There are no surprises.

Both options are available. You can bring the car to our facility in Sneek, Netherlands, or we can arrange transport to collect it from your location. We recommend having the car professionally detailed before handover, as presentation directly affects the quality of the marketing materials and the speed of the sale. Please also bring all documentation, history files, and accessories when handing the car over, as complete documentation is one of the biggest drivers of buyer confidence and achievable sale price.

We assess value based on model, year, engine specification, condition, documentation quality, and current market data from recent comparable sales at auction and through dealer channels. We have been operating in this market for over 20 years and track pricing closely across European, American, and Middle Eastern buyer pools. Our interest is in achieving the best realistic price for your car, which is what drives our commission on consignment sales. We will always give you an honest assessment rather than an inflated valuation that leaves the car sitting unsold.

Our buyer base includes serious collectors in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, the UK, the United States, and the Middle East. Many of our buyers are wealthy individuals who do not spend time browsing private classified ads – they buy through trusted specialist dealers with established reputations. Our Instagram following, newsletter list, and relationships with international buyers built over 20 years represent an audience that a private seller simply cannot access independently. For a car worth €80,000 ($88,000) or more, the difference between a specialist dealer sale and a private classified ad can easily be €15,000 to €30,000 ($16,500 to $33,000) in final sale price.

It depends on the car. Highly desirable models in strong condition with good documentation tend to sell within weeks of listing. More specialist or unusual cars may take longer to find the right buyer. We will always give you a realistic expectation upfront. If a car is not generating the expected interest, we will discuss pricing or marketing adjustments with you openly rather than leaving it to sit.

Yes. We buy and consign cars from sellers across Europe and internationally. If you are based outside the Netherlands, we will discuss the logistics and transport arrangements as part of the initial conversation. Contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] with details and photos of your car and we will take it from there.
