Consignment sale
Leave the sale of your vehicle to us.
We display it in our showroom, present it to buyers and handle viewings and negotiations, within a clear written framework.
Step by step
How it works
Support at every step.
01
Define your project
We review your vehicle and advise you on the price. The advertised price, the minimum accepted, the commission and the length of the mandate are set out in writing.
02
Prepare the handover
We draw up an inspection report with photos, mileage, keys and documents. Insurance and permitted uses are checked before the vehicle is handed over.
03
Present your car
We advertise it, answer enquiries and show it to serious buyers. You are kept informed of progress and consulted on any offer below your minimum.
04
Complete the sale
You sign the sale, unless a special written power of attorney says otherwise. The price is paid to you directly, unless separately authorised. Delivery takes place once the funds have been received and the agreed formalities completed.
The essential terms
Everything is set out before we start.
The contract states each party's commitments. We look for a buyer with due diligence, without guaranteeing the sale or how long it takes.
Duration
Three months by default
The duration is agreed in your contract. If no other duration or end date is given, the mandate lasts three months from signing. It ends without automatic renewal; any extension requires written agreement.
Exclusivity
A sale entrusted to Belgium Motors
During the mandate, you do not entrust the sale to another intermediary and do not publish a personal advert. You pass on to us any enquiries you receive directly. A direct sale may incur the fees or commission set out in the contract.
Sale price
Your agreement stays decisive
You set the initial price with our advice. An offer below the agreed minimum requires your written agreement. Any change to the advertised price or the net minimum is also confirmed in writing.
Remuneration
A commission agreed in advance
Its amount or calculation, the VAT and the total including VAT are stated before signing. It is due when the sale obtained by Belgium Motors is concluded and paid. No extra charge is added without written agreement, except in a legally justified emergency.
Before handing over
What to prepare.
A single part of the registration certificate is enough for the handover: you can keep the other. The more documents you give us on the vehicle's history, the more precisely we can inform buyers.
Tell us about any accidents, major repairs, modifications, foreign origin, registration difficulties or outstanding finance you are aware of. Say what you do not know.
One part of the registration certificate
Certificate of conformity, required at handover
Roadworthiness test and Car-Pass: optional at handover, if available
Service book, service and repair invoices and claim documents: every available item helps
At least one key to the vehicle
Accessories, wheels or winter kit, if included in the sale
Your questions
Understanding the terms of the consignment.
You can ask for your vehicle to be withdrawn permanently before the agreed end date. An early withdrawal fee of €250 excl. VAT, i.e. €302.50 incl. VAT (21% VAT) applies under the conditions set out in the contract.
Contact us to arrange the return of the vehicle and the closing of the mandate.
If your vehicle is not sold by the agreed end date, you can take it back with no commission and no end-of-mandate fee.
The mandate ends without automatic renewal. If you want to keep the car on sale, an extension can be agreed together in writing.
While the vehicle is at the showroom, you must keep your personal insurance in place, in particular for theft and fire. Check with your insurer that your cover includes leaving your vehicle with a professional.
When we drive your vehicle, notably on test drives arranged as part of the sale, our professional insurance linked to our trade plates applies, according to the cover, limits, excesses and exclusions of our policy.
An inspection report is drawn up when the vehicle arrives and when it is returned. It records the vehicle's condition, allows the two reports to be compared and avoids misunderstandings.
While the vehicle is physically with us, a temporary release requires written agreement, with the condition, mileage and insurance checked. It does not end the mandate unless notified otherwise. Movements by our team are limited to permitted uses; private use, unauthorised lending and track use are excluded.
You can ask for the vehicle to be returned, saying whether it is a temporary release or a permanent withdrawal. It is arranged without undue delay, subject to legal impediments. A permanent withdrawal before the end date falls under the early termination conditions. Once the sale is concluded and paid, the vehicle is kept reserved for delivery and must no longer be used.
You remain the seller named in the contract and sign the sale, unless a special written power of attorney says otherwise. The price is paid to you directly. Collection of payment by Belgium Motors requires a separate written authorisation stating the account, the release of the funds, the payout deadline and any deduction of commission. A statement of account is given to you.
The car is only delivered once the funds have actually been received and the agreed formalities completed. A proof of transfer alone is not enough.
Yes. We may end the mandate before its end date for a justified reason, in particular if the vehicle's condition, a technical problem or an issue with its history prevents it from being sold, under the conditions set out in the contract.
We inform you of the situation and arrange the return of the vehicle with you.
The vehicle is sold by its private owner. Belgium Motors acts as an agent to support this sale between private individuals. The seller's identity and our role are made clear to the buyer before the sale.
An optional commercial warranty may be offered for an eligible vehicle. Its cost, duration, what it covers and its exclusions are set out before it is taken out. It does not limit the statutory rights that apply to the sale.
Let's talk about your sale.
Tell us the make, model, year and mileage of your car, and your asking price. A few photos will help us assess your request.
