03 — Cars
Retail price,
not a dealer’s trade-in offer.
Twenty years of selling exotic cars in the Research Triangle, a service department that specialises in McLaren, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, and pre-purchase inspections that stop expensive mistakes before they happen.
Consignment
Retail price,
not wholesale.
Consigning eliminates the phone calls, emails, inspections, shipping and paperwork that come with a private sale — and it usually nets more than trading in or selling wholesale. This is what we do for a living.
Owners Club members have consignment fees waived for their first two months. Call (919) 787-1355 or email sales@carolinaexoticcars.com if you'd like a market assessment first.
Submit online
Send us the car's details and we check eligibility for consignment.
Bring it in
Once approved, we schedule a time for the vehicle to arrive at the consignment center.
Agree a value
We show you what comparable cars — same year, similar mileage — are actually achieving, so you price it with clear eyes.
List it
Detailing if needed, around 50 photographs, a thorough written description, then live on our site, CarGurus, Autotrader, Carsforsale and the rest.
Get paid
You get your money on sale. We handle the calls, the tyre-kickers, the shipping and the paperwork.
Not sure it's the right route?
Ask us for a valuation. If an auction would serve the car better, we'll say so — see auction services below.

Tell us about it and we’ll come back with a realistic number, the route we’d recommend, and what it would take to get there.

Cars & Bids.
Some cars belong in front of an auction audience rather than a showroom. We run the whole listing for you — including the part most sellers hate, which is answering technical questions in the comments at eleven at night.
- Professional detailed photography, interior and exterior
- Underneath pictures and video with the car on a lift
- High-quality drive-by and driving videos
- Cold start video (classic cars)
- Technical and mechanical interaction with bidders throughout the auction

Inspections
Know before you buy.
A high-end car is a big investment. Our certified mechanics do three kinds of inspection — and we'd rather tell you the truth about a car than sell you one.
Pre-purchase (PPI)
A detailed assessment of cosmetic, mechanical and safety condition before you complete the purchase. Call for details and scheduling.
Track inspection
For high-performance cars headed to the track — making sure the car is in condition for high-speed driving.
NC State inspection
Annual safety inspection, required before registration renewal, and conducted no more than 90 days before the plate expires.
A licensed mechanic examines headlights, accessory lights, directional signals, foot brake, parking brake, steering, tires, horn, rearview mirror, windshield wipers, exhaust system, emission control components, and tinted windows where applicable.
Vehicles registered in 22 North Carolina counties must also pass an emissions inspection, conducted at the same time as the safety inspection. A vehicle registered in NC must pass its annual safety inspection before the owner can renew registration, and failure to inspect by the due date affects the vehicle's registration.
