How to Sell Your Classic or Collector Car –

With literally hundreds, if not thousands of websites where you can list your classic car for sale, why should you choose allcollectorcars.com (ACC)? Things you need to consider when looking for places to sell your classic car, aka your baby, are as follows:

1. Cost.

How much does is cost to sell your classic car on any given site?  Most legitimate sites do indeed charge you to place an ad with them.  There are some free sites out there and we say why not take advantage of that.  But you should also keep your expectations in check for those sites, they are free for a reason, and that reason is usually that they just don’t have the traffic coming to their site to warrant charging people for ads.  Then of course there are the sites that try to charge you way too much, they think because they might have a brand name and a high level of traffic, that they can charge you whatever they want to place an ad.  While they do have reason to charge more, it is really not necessary and the main reason for them doing so is to pad their own pockets.

AllCollectorCars.com has priced its ads right in the sweet spot at $29.99.  Our ads offer the MOST selling features of any website out there by giving you UNLIMITED pictures and descriptions and also we allow your listing to RUN UNTIL IT SELLS!  The vast majority of advertising revenue goes right back into growing our traffic, which then creates a better selling platform for you the seller!  With our current traffic numbers and the features we include in our listings, we could easily be charging upwards of $100 for these ads AND limit the time the listings stay online.  But that is not what we are about.

2. Features Included.

As we just mentioned, ACC pumps your listing full of selling features right from the get go.  Sure you can upgrade for a very reasonable rate to try to increase your visibility on the site, but that is really all you pay extra for.  ALL of our private seller ads come fully stocked with unlimited pictures, unlimited descriptions, and maybe most importantly unlimited run time!  As you do your research and look around the internet for classic car classifieds sites to list your car at, you will find that the basic ads offered usually include somewhere around 3-10 pictures, limited description, and only run for 4 weeks before you need to pay again.  Our question at ACC is, why?  The point of our business is to help people connect with buyers and help them sell vehicles, so why not give you the very best chance at doing that right from the start?  So in advance… you’re welcome for not charging you extra to include as many pictures as humanly possible with your listing and also for allowing you to write a long perfectly descriptive description, all while keeping your ads live on our site at no extra cost until they are sold!

3. Ad Duration.

ACC private seller ads come with a GUARANTEE that you will sell your car!  That’s right, we touched on this in the paragraph above, but perhaps the most important benefit to ads placed at allcollectorcars.com is that they RUN UNTIL THEY SELL!  I mean why in the world would anyone pay a website to only to list their car for 4 weeks before having to pay AGAIN?  The entire point of placing an ad somewhere is to get your vehicle sold right, and unless a website is magic, it takes time to connect you with that perfect buyer.  Especially when dealing with classic and collector cars, there’s not always a line wrapping around the building waiting to buy your specific make and model vehicle.  This part of our listings was a no brainer right from the first day we started brainstorming our business.  “Run Til Sold” private seller ads, put that in the must have column for our website.  Personally I would be extremely wary of any site trying to squeeze more money out of you every few weeks they COULDN’T get your car sold for you.  I mean shouldn’t they refund you if they cant get the job done?  Ok enough of my ranting, bottom line, please don’t pay anyone who wont give you however long it takes to sell your car.

These are the 3 big ones and of course there are many other factors you can consider when choosing somewhere to sell your classic car.  The takeaways should be for you to: find a cost effective site which doesn’t eat up your entire budget.  This way you aren’t putting all your eggs in one basket, spread yourself out, the internet is HUGE!  Make sure you don’t get cheated on the features of the listing.  You need to be able to tell a story with your ad, and that cant happen in 3 pictures and 100 words.  Find someplace that gives you a TON of pictures with your listing and description should never be limited.  Last but not least, 4 weeks is not enough time to sell a classic car.  Unless a site is offering you a money back guarantee if not sold in that time, stay away.  Also beware that actually getting your money back will be a hassle.  Beyond those 3 things, you need to like the look and feel of the site you are using, if you wouldn’t shop there, why should anyone else.

We truly hope that if you are looking to sell your classic car or collector car that you will come to ACC first!  Click Here to see our simple rundown to options for private seller listings, we dare you to find a better deal!  We are positive you will love the way we present your vehicle to the world and don’t forget about the fact that your car WILL sell while listed on our site, and we wont take it down until it does!!

How to Ship Your Camaro

As a Camaro owner and enthusiast, keeping your vehicle in great condition is extremely important to you. In fact, allowing others to handle your Chevy Camaro is probably something you remain skeptical of and who could blame you? Nevertheless, there may come a time where having to ship your Camaro elsewhere is the best or only option. Fortunately, there are a lot of auto shipping companies out there that are familiar with handling the transport of a Camaro and other highly valued vehicles.

Find the Right Transport Company

Perhaps the best thing you could do for your Camaro when you need to have it relocated is to find a transport company with a positive reputation and years of experience. The Internet will be your most useful resource during your search for shipping companies, and sites like a1autotransport.com will let you compare shipping quotes online for free. Whether you are in New Hampshire or another state, there are transport companies nearby. Always start your search for a transporter locally.

As you scour your online resources to find the right transport company to ship your Camaro, pay close attention to the characteristics of each transporter you come across. There are certain qualities that any genuine transporter will possess to prove the dependability of their services.

• The transporter will be approved by the Department of Transportation and carry all of the proper licensing.
• They will offer insurance coverage for free to guarantee the security of their shipping services.
• Past customers will leave positive reviews and ratings online. These reviews should be easy to find through the search engines. Read them over before hiring anyone for the shipping process.
• Any long standing transport company will have an assortment of transport services and features to choose from, no matter what type of vehicle you need to have delivered.
• The customer service representatives will be friendly, helpful and full of valuable information.
• They won’t ask for any money upfront. If you are ever asked for a large down payment or full payment before the services were conducted, be cautious. You could be dealing with a scam artist. This is why researching the company before hiring them is essential to the successful delivery of your Camaro.

When you have finally found the right transport company for your vehicle, schedule your transport date and begin preparing for the big day as necessary.

Get the Camaro Ready for Its Travels

Aside from hiring the best transport company you can find, you will need to assure that you prep your Camaro as requested. Any transport company concerned with the safe delivery of your vehicle will have a small list of prerequisites that they will hold you responsible for. Fulfilling these requests will only protect your Camaro and those handling its delivery.

• Wash the exterior of the Camaro making sure all dirt and debris is removed. Clean out the interior too and only leave floor mats, a spare tire and a car jack. Any extra weight is bad for the transport and may even raise the rate you’re expected to pay.
• Remove any non-factory items. Transporters can ship customized vehicles, but as the shipper, you may be subjected to higher costs. If you do not wish to remove any extra items you added to the Camaro over the years, consult with the transport company about the modifications to see what they suggest.
• Inspect the Camaro for damages and write down any markings you are aware of. Take pictures of the outside and inside of the automobile. This type of documentation can be used after the delivery has been made and you are ready to give the Camaro another quick inspection for any possible harm caused by its delivery process.
• Check all fluids. Unless otherwise asked, all fluids should be full with the exception of the gas tank which should read ¼ or less full. The tires should also be filled with air.
• Disengage the alarm system and battery if asked.

and that my friends is how you ship your Camaro.
