Trade Classics Reviews 124

Dealing with honest and professional people.
I have just sold my much loved SL300 after auctioning the vehicle for the second time with Trade Classics. From the initial visit to my home to video and document the car to finding a buyer the experience was a pleasure, absolutely no pressure and such nice people to deal with. How I wish this superb level of customer service was more common. Thank you.

I have to say absolutely fabulous company to deal with, honest transparent even tell you your rights without you reading the small print.I dealt with Adam who was very curteous from the outset, it makes a refreshing change a company in the car auction industry who is honest from the outset & any issues arise deal with you immediatly , all I can say is thank you for a no nonsense approach & it’s lovely to see such a company with old fashioned honest values

As it was my first time using an auction website to buy a vehicle, I found the process a little unnerving at first. However, it turned out to be very straightforward and secure. The detailed information and photographs provided gave an honest and accurate view of the vehicle, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

The whole process of advertising and selling my vehicle was handled very smoothly.

We decided it was the right time for us to part with our much loved XJS, due to health reasons and wondered how to sell it. We came across Trade Classics and decided that we would go ahead with the auction. Unfortunately the car didn't meet the reserve at the auction and we were worried that we would be at the mercy of the time wasters and potential scammers if we had to sell it ourselves on a well known platform. However, the experience following the auction was second to none. Adam, Kulraj and Colin worked hard chasing all the potential leads and keeping us informed of progress. They put the car in the classified section and continued to promote it, at no further cost to ourselves.

All this hard work paid off and they found us a buyer a few weeks after the auction.

All the staff that we dealt with at Trade Classics were very professional and respectful and we can recommend their services.

I recently sold my Lotus Esprit Turbo through Trade Classics and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, their consignor came out to photograph and film the car, go through all the paperwork, and even record a driving video – the results were fantastic. The team are genuine enthusiasts who clearly love classic cars, and their passion really shows. The auction itself went brilliantly, the handover was seamless (Mark collected the car the very next day), and all the money transactions were handled smoothly and efficiently. Best of all, I achieved exactly what I wanted for the car, both financially and personally. A truly friendly, professional service that I’d highly recommend.

Very quick to arrange photos and listing of my car for sale. Followed by excellent support through to the final sale.
I also used Trade Classics to buy a car and their service was excellent, including helping to arrange delivery.

Great communication, always available to advise and a genuine desire to help.

I recently bought a superb classic car through Trade Classics Auction and found the entire process both enjoyable and very professional.
The information provided through their ‘Curated Auction’ was comprehensive and supported with lots of photographs.
The quality of this material was such that I, for the first time ever, bought ‘sight unseen’. I now know that most customers follow this route and I have no reservations in strongly recommending Trade Classics to anyone considering abs auction purchase

Great company to deal with , Kulraj couldn’t have been more helpful
So pleased with the car , the videos were very detailed and gave a true reflection of the car
I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again

Really knowledgeable group of people that are very helpful. Gave great advice on how best to present the car and what to price it at. Glyn the appraiser/photographer really know his classics and made the experience very pleasant.

Really helpful personalised service. Very detailed description of the car and its condition with fantastically detailed photographs. Additional questions answered promptly and in detail. Buyers premium significantly lower than competitor auction sites. A business run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

I have just sold my Classic Mini via Trade Classics and have been so impressed with their service. From the initial contact, they have been helpful, professional and diligent, and I am so pleased that I achieved a successful sale due to their efforts on my behalf. Due to the amazing photographs and videos taken, the incredible detail that was contained in the auction information and the wide exposure that the car was given, all enabled prospective bidders to bid with confidence that the car was being portrayed exactly as it was, highlighting both positive and negatives. This takes a lot of pressure from the seller and reassurance to the buyer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Trade Classics and would certainly use them again, either as a seller or indeed a buyer. 5* fully deserved.

An excellent experience dealing with Adam and the team. The photos were a very good representation of the car when I went to pick it up and the description was spot on. The car I was purchasing didn’t meet the reserve however Adam negotiated with the seller and we reached an agreement that suited both parties. Highly recommend.

I have had the pleasure of using Trade Classics a couple of times now, both as a buyer and a seller.

Fantastically attentive service provided with Adam, can’t thank him enough for his assistance.

Would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend to anyone looking for something a touch above from more traditional buying and selling platforms.

I had toyed with the idea of selling my classic MGC Sebring on an auction website, but looking on the web there are so many it was difficult to choose. By good fortune I came across Trade Classics nearly 3 years ago and seeing that they were based in Leamington Spa, fairly close to me I went over to meet the owner Adam Purrier. He explained in much greater depth how it all worked and I was impressed by his system which prevented someone jumping in at the last moment to outbid evryone else. If someone does that within the last minute the clock immediately returns to 2 minutes.
After I had decided to go with Trade Classics my car was thoroughly inspected and photographed by a very knowledgeable guy who then took a video of the car on the road, after which he wrote a an excellent and full appraisal of the car on the website.
I sold my car about 4 weeks ago for a sum way above its perceived market value, admittedly it was something special, but I think it had something like 3000 hits/views on the site.
Excellent service and what's more important I was given great advice all round including the day of the auction, and indeed right up to the finale. If I ever sold a car through an auction website again, it would be with Trade Classics. If i were to buy one from them I know that I could rely on them and purchase with the utmost confidence.

Great way to sell your Classic Car. The Trade Classic guys are honest, open, responsive and real car enthusiasts.

Used Trade Classics to sell my vintage Mercedes. Impressed with the whole operation from finding storage facilities to photographing and detailing the car and the auction process. Very helpful at all times. I would certainly use them again if the need arises. Very professional.

Trade classics is the number 1 option to sell your classic car after using all the other classic car platforms I can honestly say trade classics is the best at getting the best price for your classic car without hassle and tyre kicker’s, thank you kulraj and trade classics for all your help I will be using your platform every time I sell my classic car👍

Recently sold my Clio 200 through Trade Classics. The whole experience was very easy, they were very accommodating time wise. Darren the photographer was excellent. Spent many hours getting the best shots. Kulraj was extremely helpful. Going above and beyond after the sale to make sure everything went through in a difficult situation. There’s no pestering as there is with other sites. I was able to add my own reserve. All in all, excellent. Will use again. Cheers guys 👍🏼
