Lotus Match-Making
Match-Making For Serious Lotus Sellers
We match Lotus sellers with qualified buyers across all 50 states. Our private buyer network surfaces your car only to buyers who fit the brand, price range, and geography. Typical match: under 7 days. You and the buyer transact directly. We invoice our match-making commission to both sides at closing. No public listing, no auction wait, no friction.

Pricing Approach
How we price Lotus cars
We start with the current Hagerty Price Guide value for your year and model. We then layer in recent comparable sales from Bring a Trailer, RM Sotheby's, Gooding Christie's, and Mecum auctions. We adjust for mileage, condition, modifications, accident history, and service records. Finally we deduct our acquisition margin (typically 15 to 22 percent) to arrive at your offer.
The result is a real number you can compare against any other quote. In most cases our offer comes in 15 to 30 percent above Lotus dealer trade-in.

Common Questions
What Lotus owners ask first
How does your commission work on a Lotus?
Both sides pay a match-making commission to Fast Auto Exit at closing. The dollar amount and split are agreed up front in the commission disclosure. The commission is the only fee we charge. We earn it only when a transaction closes between parties we introduced.
What is the match window for a Lotus in your city, your state?
We surface Lotus 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.
How is the price set for my Lotus?
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.
How does the title transfer work?
We are not part of the title transfer. You sign the title to the buyer per your state DMV rules. The buyer files for new title in their state.
Is matching with you better than trading my Lotus at the dealer?
Dealer trade-ins on Lotus 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.
Is transport included in your service?
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.
