New York Match-Making
Sell a luxury car in New York
Private buyer-network match-making for luxury and exotic car sellers in all New York counties. NDA-protected listings. Typical buyer introduction in under 7 days. We surface your car to qualified buyers and step back so you and the buyer transact directly.
Selling a luxury or exotic car in New York privately means choosing between four channels: private match-making services like Fast Auto Exit, public enthusiast auctions like Bring a Trailer, curated live auctions at RM Sotheby's / Gooding / Mecum, and specialty dealer wholesale. Each fits a different car and seller situation. This page walks through New York-specific considerations and our match-making workflow.

How match-making works in New York
- Submit your car. Year, make, model, mileage, condition, 17-character VIN, location ZIP in New York, contact email, and photos. Two minutes on mobile.
- Private market read in 24 business hours. We share recent comparable sales for your specific configuration in the New York market, current Hagerty Price Guide bands, and the proposed commission disclosure.
- Both sides sign the commission disclosure. The commission is the same regardless of price, which keeps us structurally neutral on the negotiation.
- Qualified buyer introduction. Typically within 7 days. We share the buyer's identity, target price range, and timeline.
- Direct negotiation. You and the buyer agree on price, transport, and payment. We do not negotiate on either side's behalf.
- Closing. Buyer wires you directly (or pays via certified funds or third-party escrow). Buyer arranges enclosed transport from your New York location. Title transfers per New York DMV requirements.

Why sellers in New York choose match-making over auctions
- Privacy. Every buyer in our network signs an NDA before any seller details are shared. No public listing, no public price record.
- Speed. Public auctions take 6 to 14 weeks. Our typical buyer introduction is under 7 days. Submission-to-wire is typically 2 to 4 weeks.
- Structural neutrality. Our commission is the same regardless of price. Unlike a traditional broker, we have no incentive to push price up or down.
- New York-specific buyer matching. We match buyers whose profile fits your specific car and acceptable transport logistics from New York.
- No reserve risk. Auction houses can no-sale if the hammer does not hit reserve. Private match has no such risk.
Title and transport mechanics in New York
New York title transfer follows the standard state DMV process: seller signs over the title, buyer registers in their state of residence (or in New York if they intend to title here). Sales tax is collected by the buyer's state of registration, not by New York unless the buyer registers locally.
Enclosed transport is arranged by the buyer at the buyer's cost. We recommend Reliable Carriers, Intercity Lines, Horseless Carriage Carriers, and other established enclosed carriers, but the buyer chooses and engages directly. Typical pickup window from a New York location: 5 to 10 business days after agreement on transport.
If your New York car has an active lien, you request a 10-day payoff quote from your lender, the buyer wires the payoff directly to the lender and the balance to you, and the lender releases the lien within 5 to 10 business days.
