Step 1: Create an Account

Before you can sell your car, you’ll need to create an account on our website. Here’s how:

  2. Sign Up: Click on the “Register” button at the top right of the homepage.

Step 2: Select a Pack

When creating your listing on Classic & Exotic, you’ll have the option to choose from one of our three listing packages: Essential, Social, and Professional. Each pack is tailored to suit different levels of exposure and marketing needs. Choose a Pack!

The Essential pack is perfect if you’re looking for a simple and cost-effective way to get your car listed. Your ad will remain on our portal until the car is sold or you choose to remove it.

The Social pack expands your reach by including promotion across our social media channels, giving your car more visibility.

For those looking for maximum exposure, the Professional pack offers premium placement on our website, extended social media promotion, and we will organise a photographer to take professional photos of your car and assist you in creating the best listing possible.

Select the package that best fits your selling goals to ensure your car gets the attention it deserves!

Step 3: Gather Your Information

Before listing, make sure you have all the details about your car handy. Potential buyers will want comprehensive information, so be sure to include:

  • Make and Model: Clearly state the manufacturer, model, and year.
  • Mileage: Include the accurate mileage.
  • Condition: Is the car showroom ready or a project car? Be upfront about its current state.
  • Modifications/Upgrades: Highlight any performance enhancements, restoration work, or unique features.
  • Service History: Provide as much information as possible on the car’s maintenance.
  • Price: Set a competitive price, considering the market value and rarity of your car.

Step 4: Take Quality Photos

A great car advert is all about visuals. High-quality images will grab buyers’ attention and showcase your car in the best light. Here are a few tips:

  • Shoot in Good Lighting: Take photos during the day in natural light. Avoid shadows or harsh sunlight that could obscure details.
  • Multiple Angles: Capture the front, back, sides, engine bay, and interior. Don’t forget detailed shots of the wheels, dashboard, and any special features.
  • Highlight Key Features: If your car has unique elements like custom wheels or a rare paint job, make sure to zoom in and highlight those.
  • Clean the Car: A clean car makes a big difference in photos. Wash and wax the exterior, and tidy up the interior to make it shine.
