I am considering using a third party to re market all of my part exchange vehicles and over age stock - they would then pay me a commission on vehicles sold.

Has anyone else on here tried this before?

What are they called?

Are you liable for warranty issues?

They are called Motor Re-mark and there are no warranty concerns as they appraise the vehicles and sell them under there own company. All after sales enquiries would pass to them.

All sounds great, but a lot of things that your contract with them will need to really spell out clearly. Like ...

Title remaining in your name until sold.

It being absolutely clear that any and all warranty claims are against them, and not you.

What happens if they have a car and don't sell it in 4 months ? After all, if you take it back now and put it through the auctions, you will get less. Who covers the shortfall ?

How old is the company ? Established ? Good trading record ? Or are the directors the sort of shysters who will sell your cars, pocket the money themselves, and then put the co. into administration ?

As I say, it all sounds great. But a fair few items need nailing down.

No company registered under the name Motor Re-mark with and without the hyphen. Don't come up in a google search so I'd be very careful.
