Hawaii Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Sellers: Documented Commission

Direct seller-to-buyer payment. Most SLR McLaren transactions in our network close via domestic wire transfer from the buyer to the seller. Some buyers prefer third-party escrow (Escrow.com or similar) for buyer-confidence reasons. Cashier's checks are accepted on smaller transactions. The exact method is between you and the buyer.

Our buyer network reaches every county in Hawaii. Whether the car is in Honolulu, in a small town, at a storage facility, or at a dealership awaiting service, buyers from our network handle pickup from any location.

We can flag your lien situation to buyers up front. Buyers in our network who routinely handle financed cars will see the disclosure. The lien payoff and balance wire are handled by the buyer directly, the same way a private party transaction would handle them.

We charge a match-making commission to both the seller and the buyer at the close of the transaction. The exact amount and the split are documented in a short commission disclosure both parties sign before any introduction. There are no upfront listing fees and no payment until the transaction closes between the introduced parties.

Dealer trade-ins on SLR McLaren cars routinely come in 30 to 45 percent below retail. Our matched-buyer transactions land closer to retail (typically 5 to 12 percent below) because the buyer is buying for themselves or for retail listing, not for a wholesale auction. On a six-figure car the difference can be $30,000 to $60,000.

We are paid the same commission regardless of price, so we are not a price advocate for either side. We share the data we have and let you and the buyer work out the number directly.
