Bespoke car sourcing

We find the car.
You keep your time.

Tell us what you need — the budget, the brief, the non-negotiables. We search dealer networks, auctions and private sellers on your behalf, then bring you a shortlist worth your time and negotiate the price down.

The process

Five step approach.

You give the brief. We do the legwork — the searching, the vetting, the haggling — and check in only when it matters.

01

Brief

Leave your details through our quick enquiry form, then we follow up with a call or short questionnaire to nail down the exact brief.

02

Search

We search dealer stock, auction listings and private sales — casting a wider net than you'd manage alone.

03

Shortlist

You receive 3–5 vetted options, each with full history and an honest condition report. Rare or classic cars can take longer to source — timescales are agreed with you upfront.

04

Negotiate

We handle the back-and-forth on price and terms, using trade knowledge sellers don't expect.

05

Handover

All checks done. Payment for the car goes straight to the seller — you just collect the keys, or delivery can be arranged at an agreed cost to the customer.

£

How payment works

We act purely as your agent. You pay the seller directly for the car — the dealer, auction house, or private seller — and we never hold or receive that money. Our only charge is a fixed sourcing fee for finding, vetting, and negotiating on your behalf, invoiced separately and agreed before we start.

Why use a search partner

Buying a car alone means
competing with people who do this daily.

Dealers and trade buyers see the market every day. Having someone search on your behalf puts that same vantage point on your side of the table.

£

No dealership incentive

We're paid by you, not by a forecourt — so there's no reason to steer you toward a particular car.

◐

Wider search, less legwork

We cover dealer sites, auction listings and private sales in parallel, so nothing worth seeing gets missed.

⟷

Negotiation, handled

We know fair trade value, so the asking price is a starting point, not the number you pay.

Pricing

One fee. No surprises.

A single, transparent sourcing fee — agreed before we start, and never taken from the seller.

1.5% of advertised price
  • Based on the advertised price — not what we negotiate it down to, so every pound we save you is yours, not ours.
  • Minimum fee £400 — due once we deliver your shortlist, covering the search whether or not you go on to buy through us.
  • Capped at £2,500 — so a rarer or pricier car never costs disproportionately more.
  • Agreed upfront — confirmed in writing before any search begins.
  • Nothing from the seller — our only income is your fee, so our advice stays unbiased.
Example vehicle Calculation Sourcing fee
Used hatchback — advertised at £9,000 1.5%, below minimum £400
Family SUV — advertised at £30,000 1.5% of £30,000 £450
Performance car — advertised at £55,000 1.5% of £55,000 £825
Rare or classic — advertised at £180,000+ 1.5%, above cap £2,500
Fees are calculated on the advertised price at the point we shortlist a car — never on the price after we negotiate it down, so any discount we secure is entirely to your benefit. Figures are illustrative; your exact fee is confirmed in writing once we understand the brief.

About

I've spent my life caring far too much about the right car.

Hi, I'm Lee.

I'm based in Greater Manchester. What I bring isn't insider dealer connections — it's knowing where to look: which auctions, listings, and channels actually surface the right cars, and how to tell a genuine deal from a dressed-up one.

Cars have always been more than transport to me. I've spent more weekends than I'd like to admit reading car brochures, spec sheets, comparing trims, and looking at the option lists available.

Over the last 20 years, that's turned into something practical: friends and family asking me to find their next car rather than face a dealership alone, and me saying yes more times than I can count.

What I noticed, again and again, was how much that knowledge changes the outcome. Most people buy a car maybe three or four times in their life. Dealers do it daily. That gap is where people overpay, get talked into the wrong spec, or walk away from something that was never right for them in the first place.

This business exists to close that gap. No dealership ties, no commission from sellers — just someone who genuinely enjoys the process, doing it on your behalf.

FAQ

A few things people ask.

Do I pay you, or the seller?

You pay the seller directly for the car — the dealer, auction house, or private seller. We never hold or receive that money. Our only charge is a separate sourcing fee, agreed with you in writing before we start.

Do you take anything from the seller or dealer?

No. We don't accept commission, referral fees, or any payment from sellers. Your sourcing fee is our only income, which is what keeps our advice unbiased.

How long does it take to find a car?

It depends on the brief. Common, popular models are often quicker; rare or classic cars can take longer to source properly. We'll agree a realistic timescale with you upfront once we understand what you're after.

What if you can't find something suitable?

We'll be upfront with you if a brief is proving difficult to fulfil, and talk through next steps together — whether that's adjusting the brief or pausing the search. Nothing further is charged without your agreement.

What if I decide not to buy any of the cars you find, or go with one I found myself?

The £400 minimum fee is payable once we deliver your shortlist, since that reflects the work already done in searching and vetting on your behalf — this applies whether or not you go on to buy through us. If you do buy one of our shortlisted vehicles, that £400 counts towards your full sourcing fee rather than being charged twice.

Can you arrange delivery, or do I collect the car myself?

Either works. You're welcome to collect once everything's checked and ready, or we can arrange delivery to you at an agreed additional cost.

What if there's a problem with the car after I've bought it?

Because you buy directly from the seller, your consumer rights sit with them, not us — this varies depending on whether the source is a dealer, auction, or private sale, and we'll explain that clearly for each car before you commit. Our terms of business set out exactly where our responsibility as your agent begins and ends.
