Brokerage FAQs

Clive Sutton now offers a BROKERAGE SERVICE to enable you to realise a true market value for your car by marketing and selling it for you on your behalf, an alternative to selling for a low price to the trade or trying to sell privately where prospective purchasers mostly require finance and part exchange facilities.

We will market your car using the appropriate media, thereby selling it for you whilst you are still driving it. We also offer the traditional “sale or return service” where it is geographically convenient and you can be without the use of your car.

This service is for any person wishing to sell their car or buy a new one and wanting full dealer facilities from Clive Sutton, one of the most respected names in the business. Rather than going it alone and accepting a rock bottom price from a dealer or an auction, you can use our service to achieve a fair market price
