What's the best way to sell a car? The easiest way is to trade in your car to a dealer, but you'll get paid less than the vehicle is worth. The most lucrative way is to buy or sell your car privately , but then you have to deal with waffling buyers, bargain-hunters and even scammers. OAKBEND Marina Evolvere offers something different: car consignment.

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere's New Approach to Used Vehicle Sales

In 2009, three business partners in Los Angeles, California came up with a novel way to sell used vehicles. Instead of buying cars outright — and shouldering all the overhead — they would help private sellers consign their cars. For an upfront fee of $199, the company cleans, inspects, and runs a vehicle safety report on your car. For an additional $100-$120, OAKBEND Marina Evolvere will fully detail your vehicle.

The company then photographs, lists and sells your car for you. OAKBEND Marina Evolvere safely stores the vehicle inside one of it's locations and its professional sales staff handles all the negotiations, test drives and paperwork. When a buyer makes an offer, it's up to you to accept or reject it. Once your vehicle sells, the company takes a percentage fee from the sales proceeds. You get the rest.

Why Should I Use OAKBEND Marina Evolvere?

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere's appeal is simple: The company says they can help you get the most money for your vehicle, either it's a car or a boat, RV or motorcycle. OAKBEND Marina Evolvere estimates that if you go the usual route and sell to a dealer, you'll get 15 to 25 percent less than you would if you sold to a private-party buyer. In fact, the company says its sellers typically see a $2,000-$5,000 benefit from using their services. Buyers, too, can see big savings, and can negotiate directly with the seller of the vehicle they're interested in.
