Car Sourcing

Independently sourced. Driven back ourselves.

We sell no cars of our own — we search, inspect and negotiate for you alone. And uniquely, our own driver brings your new car to your door in person. All in one hand.

I search and deliver a vetted shortlist of suitable cars. You choose and buy yourself — the fee is credited if you continue.

Fixed service fee (Shortlist)
€ 195

Excl. travel costs (1:1) and optional home delivery (Drive-it-Back rate). Bonus only when you save — no cure, no pay.

Prices may vary slightly due to variable costs such as hotel, fuel and tolls.

Our promise

We sell no cars of our own. We only ever work for you, the buyer — never for the seller.

Many “sourcers” are really dealers moving their own stock. With us there is only one interest: that you buy the right car, at the right price.

Searched with focus

I search purposefully for the specific model you have in mind.

Thoroughly inspected

Mechanical and cosmetic assessment before purchase — no surprises afterwards.

Completely handled

Transport included if you wish; all you do is take the key.

How it works

From brief to keys — in seven steps.

One dedicated point of contact throughout. You go nowhere; I arrange it and keep you posted.

  1. 01

    Your brief

    You tell me what you're after: make, model, spec, budget and must-haves. I'll say honestly whether it's realistic.

  2. 02

    Searching across Europe

    Purposeful search through my network and beyond — including cars that never reach the open market.

  3. 03

    History & VIN check

    Before anyone travels: mileage history, documents and past all verified.

  4. 04

    Inspection on site

    A personal assessment of mechanics, cosmetics and maintenance. Never a purchase on photos alone.

  5. 05

    Negotiation

    I negotiate on your behalf — and only charge a bonus if I actually save you money.

  6. 06

    Paperwork & import

    Purchase contract, safe payment and, for imports, tax and registration until it's all done.

  7. 07

    Delivered to your door

    Our own driver brings the car to you. All you do is take the key.

Car sourcing

All you do is take the key.

Looking for a specific model, but no time to search and assess? I search with focus, inspect both mechanically and cosmetically, and arrange transport too if you wish. You don't have to worry about a thing — all you do is take the key.

Pricing

One clear price per assignment.

No commission on the purchase price — that would tempt us to find a more expensive car. Instead, one fixed service fee per type of assignment: transparent, and always in your interest.

All amounts are excluding VAT.

On top of the service fee

Travel costs 1:1

Travel for a remote inspection is passed on 1:1 — no surcharge, no margin. For a car nearby, often minimal.

Negotiation bonus 20%

20% of whatever we negotiate below the asking price. No cure, no pay — you only pay it if it saves you money.

Home delivery (optional)

Our own driver brings your car to you, at our fixed Drive-it-Back rate. Sourcing and transport in one hand.

Example: all-in

What does an import roughly cost?

Service fee (Import Sourcing)
€995
On-site inspection — flight + travel (1:1)
± €350
Home delivery by our own driver (optional)
from €650
Expected total
± €1,345 – 1,995

Illustrative. Travel and home delivery are passed on 1:1 and depend on the destination — you always get a fixed quote with every amount up front.

Worked example

How the negotiation bonus works.

Car's asking price
€62,000
Negotiated down by us
− €4,000
Service fee (Import Sourcing)
€995
Bonus (20% of €4,000)
€800
Your net saving
€2,205

Illustrative example. You only pay the bonus if we actually come in below the asking price — otherwise it lapses entirely.

Looking for a specific model, but don't have the time or inclination to search and assess it yourself? I search, inspect and, if you'd like, arrange transport too — you simply take the keys.

How it works:

  1. 01You tell me what vehicle you're looking for (make, model, trim, budget)
  2. 02I actively search for suitable options, including off the beaten path
  3. 03Personal on-site inspection — mechanics, history, maintenance condition
  4. 04Negotiation and guidance through the purchase
  5. 05Optional: transport to your location

Recent example: Audi RS5 (B8, 2011)

A great example of what that looks like in practice: an Audi RS5 B8 from 2011, with just 41,000 km on the clock and an Audi exclusive interior — found and personally inspected for a client. Including a thorough check under the bonnet, so there are no surprises afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know about car sourcing

You tell me what you’re looking for; I search, assess and shortlist suitable cars, negotiate the price on your behalf and guide the purchase — including transport to you if you wish.

1% commission on the purchase price (minimum €750, maximum €3,000), plus a negotiation bonus of 20% on whatever I manage to knock off the asking price. All excluding VAT.

You only pay the negotiation bonus on money I actually save you. If I can’t get anything off the asking price, you pay no bonus.

Yes. I search wherever the right car is, including Southern Europe, and can arrange transport to the Netherlands at the Drive-it-Back rate.

No. I act as your buying adviser and intermediary. You buy the car yourself; I represent your interest and keep the entire purchase transparent.
