Trade Classics Arvostelua 

I brought MK1 Escort RS2000 through Trade Classics, got to say I was very impressed with their description of the car, it was spot on.
Very professional service from start to finish and a big hand to Kulraj who massively helped through the whole process.

When you aren't in the habit of doing it, selling your car is an uncertain, stressful experience. When it's a dearly cherished classic, it can be a nightmare! The team at Trade Classics did a tremendous job - most particularly, the write up was OUTSTANDING! Support during the whole experience was exemplary, and if ever we are in a position to sell another classic, these guys will be our first call.
Thank you for an excellent experience!

Excellent personal service and a trustworthy feel so I felt very confident in selling my special Classic Mercedes with them

Excellent communication and very clear discussion.
TC were excellent in setting up a very comprehensive and detailed description of my car on their site.

Faultless service from beginning to end and an excellent price on auction.

Brilliant company to deal with - quick, efficient and excellent communication at every step of the process.

Extremely helpful and informative. Even though my car wasn't suitable to sell with them, I was informed of its value and advice on how and where to sell it.

My first time involvement with online auctions. All involved with Trade Classics were professional, helpful and friendly. Their guidance through he process was excellent. A very positive experience. I would definitely recommend Trade Classics to any one wishing to sell a classic or modern classic vehicle.

The fast and friendly service either via email or direct on the phone, made the whole experience fantastic!!!!

First time I have ever used Trade Classics and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Adam was so friendly and helpful, guiding me through the process and giving me much needed advice along the way as I sold my father’s classic car. The professional photography was so impressive, as was the carefully detailed write up. The car sold within a week and what I imagined to be a daunting process turned out to be completely painless, thanks to the team at Trade Classics.

Fantastic service and support, easy to use website and bidding tool. The description was perfect and very accurate, so I didn't have to view the car in person. The whole buying process was expertly managed and I would definitely buy a car through Trade Classics again.

My car did not sell straight away but Trade Classics gave its details to other people and eventually found a buyer.

I'm very sceptical of buying from auctions as the vast majority don't give much information but a contact suggested I look at Trade Classics - what a difference

Lots of detailed information and pictures meaning I could bid with confidence

I bought a Porsche and it was exactly as pictured and described

Can't fault the experience, faultless from the start, from Colin (gentleman) the photographer to the end communication when car was sold. I was kept upto date the whole time. The professionalism throughout was excellent. The photos and the videos were exceptional, could not fault them. All in all a great experience, car sold for less than I was hopping for but happy result....thanks to all.

To sell a vehicle as niche as an Aston Martin for it's true value is exceptional. Many Thanks Trade Classics, would recommend every day. VLW

We sold our car on trade classics and they were superb. From the initial contact through to photographing and the auction itself, all staff were helpful, knowledgeable and really supportive. They were not pushy or intrusive, but really understanding, honest and understanding, doing their best to get a great price for your car. As first time sellers we looked at a number of sites and would really recommend trade classics. A reserve was suggested, then a photographer was dispatched who was amazing. The level of detail was terrific, it was quite fun too. The auction went live and we were amazed by the interest. The advert looked brilliant, and was linked to a lot of searches, even on YouTube. We answered questions online from interested buyers and the car met the top end reserve price. Collection was arranged by the buyer, with a bank transfer being the last action. In all a quick process and all the time the lovely staff at Trade classics help you through the process. You can sell your car with confidence through this really trustworthy and reliable firm.

From first enquiry to final auction fantastic communication, Adam was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Such a difficult review to write as the premise is excellent but the outcome somewhat flawed. Part of this, I think, is down to the market, part is down to the way Trade Classics work.

First, the way Trade Classics work. They don't show a reserve price or whether you're even getting close to the price. So bidding goes along well and, when the auction closes and you think you've won, you get a note saying the reserve has not been met.

This has happened to me on more than one occasion and now I simply watch auctions out of interest, rather than partake. What's the point?

Second, the market. Prices for second hand cars are now falling as the market corrects after the inflation bubble during the pandemic. Not only that, the economy is poor.

But the reserve that some sellers select for their cars is unrealistic and too high. As a result, auction lots go unsold with unhappy sellers and even more unhappy bidders. What's the point of taking part?

I hope that Trade Classics will:
- Encourage sellers to be realistic with their reserves
- Publish the reserve value so that bidders will know whether or not to waste their time

I hope that sellers will be more realistic when listing their cars. Maybe try the following:
- Get a realistic trade price for your car (to buy, not trade-in)
- Research how much your car sells for via a dealer
- Pitch your reserve somewhere between those two prices. To increase chances of a sale, favour the lower end.
Note that if you list your car with a reserve that is just over trade price, you'll likely get more bidders and quite possibly a much better price as a result.
Bidders won't want to be bothered with cars whose reserve is set too high.

I found the photographs and videos of the vehicle to be informative and accurate and allowed me to bid with confidence. I am very happy with my purchase and and would use service again.

Sale of Ferrari 430 through Trade Classics

I advertised my car on Pistonheads and received a call from Trade Classics. This led to my selling the car on an online auction through Trade Classics.
I set the reserve and acheived it and the money was in my account before the car was collected by the nice gentleman that had bought it.
The service from Trade Classics was excellent and I will use them again when I sell my Range Rover.
