Kahala (Honolulu) Luxury Car Match-Making

Dealer trade-ins on luxury car 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.

You and the buyer agree on the final price directly. We provide market context: Hagerty Price Guide value for your year and model, recent comparable BaT and auction sales, and what buyers in our network have paid for similar cars recently. The number is between you and the buyer.

Yes. Many buyers in our network are comfortable working with active liens. The mechanics: the buyer wires the lender the 10-day payoff directly at closing and wires the balance to you. The seller and buyer agree on the mechanics; we facilitate the match but are not a party to the payment.

Buyer-side cost. After matching, the buyer chooses and pays their preferred transport method. Sellers commonly recommend an enclosed carrier in their notes but ultimately the buyer arranges and contracts with the carrier.

Commission is invoiced separately to seller and buyer at closing. We document everything in writing before any introduction: the amount, who pays what portion, and the time window the commission applies. There are no hidden fees, listing charges, or contingencies beyond what the signed disclosure documents.

We surface luxury car listings to buyers within 24 hours of acceptance. Interested buyers signal back with target price ranges. We then present those buyers to you with their profile, target price, and timeline. The next step (introduction or pass) is your call.
