CONSULTING

Before buying or selling a vehicle, a lot of time is invested in different considerations. It’s often the case that a second opinion is desirable. As in any industry, an expert consultation is an important aspect and belongs to our service.  The market for classic and rare vehicles is often obscure and requires much knowledge and time to be able to assess it properly. What appears to be an attractive offer, at first sight, may turn out to not be the case upon closer inspection. Through our long-standing archive with comprehensive information for select vehicles, we can provide you with photos as well as facts about the vehicle’s history.

This additional background information often proves to be very meaningful to potential buyers and can be helpful in guiding and simplifying the decision making process. We at Lemacc, provide you up to date market information and an objective consultation. Many years of experience and international contacts have allowed us to be your partner and adviser. 

If one decides to sell his or her vehicle, the question of ‘how?’ arises. In addition to private sales, there is also the possibility of a sale by auction. Through constant fluctuations in the market, sometimes it makes sense to sell a vehicle at a certain time, but is it the right decision? Sometimes it is better to keep the car with regards to its appreciation potential. Some owners contemplate restoring the car instead of keeping it in its original condition. However, such decisions should be well considered because most of the time originality is irretrievable.  Originality, patina, and history are key words in the classic car scene. Are you looking for a vehicle primarily to use or as an investment? We will find a suitable car for your needs.

PURCHASING PROCESS

You have decided to purchase a classic car but are not sure yet which era, brand or model would suit best? We can help you with the decision making process.

Have you found your dream car, but are unsure if the option you identified is really the right car to buy? We would be glad to advise and give you an independent second opinion to make your decision easier. We compare prices and review what future investments in the car you should be reasonably expecting. If necessary, we can also suggest interesting alternatives.

You want to save time and money? Lemacc has been monitoring the rare sports car and classic car markets for more than ten years and has kept track of comprehensive private sales and auction price data. Further, Lemacc created and continuously updates an archive with photos and background information of select vehicle models from various brands including Bugatti, Ferrari and Lamborghini. This enables Lemacc to identify certain vehicle models on the basis of photos and the chassis number, which allows to collate and provide additional information on the invidual vehicle’s history. Such knowledge can be valuable and helpful for the decision making process, and save customers from mispurchases.

Our network makes it easier to find specific vehicles. That is an important aspect, especially in the light that extraordinary vehicles are usually accessible by select buyers only, as sellers typically do not market them to a broader group. However, our contacts allow us - and more importantly you – to get access to such vehicles.

SELLING PROCESS

There are various ways to sell a classic car, and we are motivated to find the most suitable and profitable option for you. We at Lemacc will advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of the respective sales platforms. Before selling your vehicle, we will examine it together to assess the overall condition and discuss options for dealing with any damages. After reviewing the costs, we will find a specialist workshop to refurbish your vehicle. After the vehicle has been technically and optically refurbished, a professional photo shoot completes the preparation for selling. Subsequently, your vehicle will be posted to our website and other platforms if agreed upon. We will take care of the sale of your vehicle. This way you can remain anonymous and do not have to deal with areas of conflict or stress with potential buyers.

PARTS SOURCING  

After years or even decades after the initial delivery of a vehicle and frequent changes of ownership, factory parts such as tool bags, leather cases, and owner manuals regularly go missing. Often, original parts are exchanged for components that were current at that time or are adapted to newer models. As the current trend and market shows, originality and patina have become important factors in the classic car scene. These characteristics are irretrievable and often more coveted than a restored vehicle without a maintenance history. We can assist you in your search for rare original parts and components, which serve to complement and essentially bring your classic car back to its original state.    

RATES

We at Lemacc want to make everything as transparent as possible so that there are no surprises for our customers. Our commission rates are based upon the vehicle’s value:

• 8% commission on vehicles up to €1,000,000
• 6% commission on vehicles with a value of €1,000,000 to €5,000,000
