Purchasing a collectible vehicle through a private sale is still the
single most common method today. Unlike an auction, a private
transaction is conducted between two people - eliminating the third
party saves you 5 percent or more of the sales price by cutting out the
auction house's additional buyer's premium. It also enables you to
establish a short but personal relationship with the seller, which can
become beneficial. As an example, discussing the vehicle one-on-one can
help you determine just how open the seller will be in letting you test
drive and inspect the vehicle more than once, or in negotiating on a
purchase price.
First Things First
Finding a collector car or truck for sale can be as easy as taking a
leisurely Saturday afternoon drive or keeping an eye out while you are
running an errand. Generally speaking, peak season for spotting
collector cars for sale occurs in the spring and fall, although this can
vary, depending upon your geographic location.
A more common method for finding a collector car is to search through
the classified section of your local or regional newspaper. Most local
papers have a specific antique car section, though vintage vehicles can
be found listed alongside the numerous used late models as well. It
should be noted that new listings tend to appear in the latter half of
the week, usually in the Friday, Saturday and Sunday editions.
