Pacific Palisades's Mercedes-Benz Match-Making Desk

Convenience is the only reason to take a dealer trade-in. If you have 7 to 14 days and a willingness to engage with a qualified buyer, our match-making typically delivers materially more money in your pocket.

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.

Buyer wires the funds to you. If you have a lien, the buyer can wire the lender's payoff and the balance to you on the same day. Method, timing, and escrow are between seller and buyer. We are paid via separate Square invoice after closing.

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.

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

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.
