Personal Car Shopper
Your regular man for cars. And for the next one.

Request this packageNo obligation. You get a conversation and a fixed price first, and only then do you decide.
Who it's for
Anyone who changes cars regularly, has more particular taste, and wants one point of contact instead of starting over every time.
This starts with a conversation rather than a brief: how you drive, what you like, what the car has to do and what irritates you. After that I search deliberately and only send you candidates that genuinely fit. It is meant for people who change cars regularly and simply want someone for it. Not for one transaction, but for the ones after it.
How it works
Your regular man for cars. And for the next one.
- 01
A conversation, not a form
I take the time for what you want and why. Make and trim follow from that, not the other way round.
- 02
Searching daily
I look online every day and ring around my own network and the trade, including cars that never reach the open market.
- 03
Only what fits
You do not get lists. You get the cars I believe are the one, with the reasoning attached.
- 04
Inspect, negotiate, arrange
From there it runs like Used Car Sourcing: inspection, negotiation on your behalf, and guidance until the key is yours.
- 05
And the next time
Your preferences are already on record. The second assignment starts where the first left off.
What's included
- A personal intake conversation about taste, use and preferences
- Continuous searching with no end date, including beyond the open market
- Advice on the make, model and trim that suit you
- Inspection and assessment of every serious candidate
- Negotiation on your behalf and guidance to handover
- One fixed point of contact, you get me and not a changing number
What's not included
- The purchase price of the car itself
- Import handling for a car from abroad (€700)
- Delivery to your door (€175 up to 75 km, €245 up to 150 km)
- An unlimited number of assignments: the fee is per car
- Warranty on the car; that comes from the seller
The terms
Request this package
Deposit at the start, remainder at handover. The fee is per car. If you buy regularly, we agree a fixed price or a standing arrangement, which is exactly what this package is for.
What's not included
There is no end date, so it can run as long as you like. If you stop, I keep the deposit for the work done to that point and nothing further is charged. If it runs beyond three months without a purchase, we review together whether the brief still holds or needs adjusting.
Lead time
open-ended, I keep searching until the right car appears
Service area
The Netherlands. If the car is abroad, import handling is added for €700. You stay with me, you are not moved to another package.
VAT
The amounts on this page exclude VAT, with the amount including 21% VAT shown underneath. If you are a private client, that inclusive figure is what you pay; if you are a business, the VAT is deductible for you.
20% introductory discount
I have just started for myself. That is why the first customers get 20% off the service fee as an introductory offer. It applies while I am still taking on my first jobs. Request it now and it applies to you.
20% negotiation bonus
Where I negotiate on your behalf, I charge 20% of whatever I get below the asking price. If I get nothing off, you pay nothing. No cure, no pay. The asking price is what the car is advertised for. If it is not advertised, we agree a reference price by e-mail before negotiating, so it cannot become a discussion afterwards.
Pre-purchase inspection
An inspection at a certified garage is included in the packages with a physical inspection. If your car calls for a marque specialist — an unusual Ferrari can only be judged by a Ferrari specialist — I pass on whatever exceeds €300, always after consulting you and on the garage's own invoice.
Third-party costs: an advance, no mark-up
Everything I pay to others on your behalf — import tax, transport, an inspection, duties — I budget up front and you pay as an advance. I finance nothing myself and earn nothing on it: afterwards it is settled on the receipts, and whatever is left over comes back to you. The figure you see up front is the figure it is about.
Frequently asked
Used Car Sourcing is one assignment for one car with an end date. This is a relationship: I know your taste, I keep searching without a deadline, and I think along about what suits you rather than only searching for what you specified.
Yes. The searching and the advice are in this package wherever the car is. Find it in Germany and only the import handling is added, for €700, not a second full import package, because the search has already been paid for.
Yes, we agree a standing arrangement for that. This service is built on you coming back.
