ABOUT CULT CARS
We are a boutique dealer specializing in the consignment of Cult Cars, vehicles produced in limited quantities of varying ages.
We've found that selling a car can be a hassle, from paperwork and inspections, to finding not only a buyer, but a serious buyer. Consignment with Cult Cars is the perfect solution for enthusiasts who would rather be driving than selling.
Check out our award-winning promo video and meet founder and owner, Ilan Brown. A special thank you to John Hunt and Arcadian Pictures for all of their hard work.
What defines a cult car?
Cult cars are defined by the limited quantities in which they are produced. Collector cars may also represent limited production models, but it is not a defining characteristic.
Unlike collector cars, cult cars don't necessarily appreciate in value. Just because something is rare doesn’t necessarily make it more valuable.
Insurance companies and state departments of motor vehicles generally view collector cars as being at least 15 years old. Some cult cars are brand new while others vary in age.
Transparency - value - service
Cult Cars offers boutique consignment services, which gives us the ability to focus on customer satisfaction and ease of selling. With the vast majority of vehicles being sold online, we don’t see the logic in paying to store your car in a warehouse where it can’t be driven or enjoyed. We believe it makes more sense for our clients to store their own vehicles while we do the marketing.
Typical consignment fees range from 10 - 12.5% which covers building overhead, salaries and other expenses. With low overhead we can offer a very competitive 6% commission (based on the sales price).
Utilizing unique rural and urban landscapes we’re able to create a professional and captivating portfolio of images that are magazine worthy. When your listing hits the market we want to make an impact. Buyers seeking a rare, ultra high-performance vehicle like yours should have an immediate, visceral reaction when they first see the listing. Photos, video, a well-written description... we'll use them all.
Other consignors typically shoot every car in a warehouse. The images of your car would look just like the images of every other car they’re selling. We aim to create an emotional connection with your target audience. When the sale is complete we give the buyer and seller a printed “hero shot” as a little memento.
Cars are what bring all of us as automotive enthusiasts together, and lifetime friendships can be formed. We co-sponsor the state's largest Cars & Coffee event in Lafayette, Colorado, where our clients have the opportunity to present their vehicles to an audience of 1,000+ enthusiasts every month. We participate in monthly club events, cruises and regularly contribute to on-line car culture through enthusiast groups and forums. We look forward to meeting you at an upcoming event!
