Off-market
A direct route. No public listing, no auction house.
Off-market means MotorSignet is your single point of contact from first enquiry to completion, whether you're selling or we're searching on your behalf, rather than a public listing or an auction house. Most cars we buy ourselves; for some we place the car with a vetted dealer from our network who pays you directly, disclosed before you get an offer. No seller fees. Buyer sourcing fees are agreed in advance. Sellers are paid in full by bank transfer before the vehicle leaves.

Why it matters
Directness is the point.
A direct buyer, not a broker
No public listing and no auction fees. MotorSignet is your single point of contact from first contact to completion, whether we buy the car ourselves or place it with a vetted dealer who pays you directly.
Nationwide collection
Once you accept, inspection, secure payment and collection are arranged wherever you are in the UK.
Clear fees from the start
There is no fee for a seller assessment or an initial buyer brief. Private buyers pay a sourcing fee, agreed in writing before committing to a purchase. Trade buyers pay our agreed commission only when a sale completes. No fee is deducted from the seller's agreed payment.
Two direct routes
Selling, or looking for a car.
Whichever you need, you deal with MotorSignet directly, start to finish.
