Questions sellers and buyers ask first

Correct. Fast Auto Exit is a marketing lead and match-making service. We connect private sellers of luxury and exotic cars with qualified buyers from our private network. You and the buyer transact directly with each other. We charge a match-making commission to both sides at closing, invoiced separately. We never take title to, possession of, or payment for any vehicle.

No. We are a marketing lead and match-making service, not a dealer or licensed broker. We do not hold an inventory of cars. We do not represent buyers or sellers as a fiduciary. We simply connect parties who would otherwise have trouble finding each other and charge a fee for that service. Any state-required licensing for the actual vehicle sale is the responsibility of the parties to the transaction.

We charge a commission to both the seller and the buyer at the close of the transaction. The exact dollar amount and who pays what portion is disclosed and signed in a short commission agreement before any introduction is made. Invoices are sent separately to each party via Square after closing and are due within 7 days.

Luxury and exotic cars valued at $40,000 and up, model year 1960 to current. We specialize in Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Maserati, BMW M, Audi RS, and equivalent grade Japanese and American collector cars. If you are not sure your car qualifies, submit it and we will tell you within an hour.

The buyer arranges and pays for transport. We do not coordinate or pay for transport because we are not a counterparty to the sale. The buyer chooses their own enclosed carrier and pays them directly.

The seller and the buyer handle title transfer directly with each other per the seller's state DMV rules. We are not party to the title transfer. We can recommend independent title-services partners if either party wants to outsource the paperwork, but we do not provide the service ourselves.

The buyer pays the seller directly via wire transfer, certified funds, or third-party escrow that the two parties agree on. We do not touch the funds. Separately, we invoice our commission via Square to each party after closing.

We do not sell to or buy from anyone. We connect you with a buyer. Many of the buyers in our network are comfortable working with active liens; they wire your lender the payoff at closing and the difference to you. The exact mechanics are negotiated between you and the buyer. We can flag your lien situation up front to qualified buyers.

BaT is excellent if you have 8 to 12 weeks for a public auction, the patience for comments, and the right car for that audience. A franchise dealer trade-in is fast but typically nets 30 to 45 percent below retail. We offer a private, off-market match window: typically under 7 days, no public listing, and buyer-direct transaction. We are the right call when you want certainty, speed, and privacy.

Never. We do not list your car publicly. Buyers in our network see your submission under NDA. We share your contact details only with the specific buyer you choose to engage.

You can walk at any time before signing the commission disclosure. There is no fee for an unmatched listing. After you sign and we have facilitated an introduction to a specific buyer, the commission is earned if a sale closes between you and that buyer within 12 months of introduction.

No sale, no commission. We only earn commission when a transaction actually closes between the introduced parties.

Tasteful upgrades like factory-correct exhaust or a high-end wheel set rarely affect what buyers in our network will pay. Engine modifications, aftermarket bodywork, or removed original parts can substantially limit which buyers engage. Document everything in your submission and we will share it transparently with the buyer pool.

We do not buy any cars. Most buyers in our network want clean-title cars only. Salvage or rebuilt titles narrow the buyer pool significantly. Submit and we will tell you whether anyone in our network is currently interested.

We match against their preferred brands, price range, geography, buyer type (private collector, dealer, exporter), and recent purchase activity in our network. We surface your car only to buyers whose stated preferences match your specific car.

At submission: VIN, photos, condition assessment, mileage, and your contact information. After we confirm fit: optionally service records, original window sticker, any concours documentation, build sheets, and proof of ownership. At commission disclosure signing: government-issued photo ID. We never see your bank account, title, or any tax documents.

Excellent outcome. We share each buyer's profile, target price, and timeline. You choose which buyer (or buyers) to engage. You can keep the conversation with one buyer or run a competitive process. We are paid the same commission either way.

We share what the buyers in our network typically pay for similar cars based on recent matched transactions, current Hagerty Price Guide bands, and live auction comparables from Bring a Trailer, RM Sotheby's, Gooding Christie's, and Mecum. We are transparent about the data. The final price is between you and the buyer.

Estate situations are common in our buyer network. We can match an entire collection to multiple buyers at once. The signed commission disclosure can be tailored for an estate context. Contact us and we will assign a dedicated coordinator.

Yes. Every buyer in our network has been verified by our team: identity, ability to fund a purchase in the price range they target, and a history of completed transactions either with us or in the broader market. We do not introduce window shoppers.
