We are a licensed, bonded, insured TX Dealer specializing in flat rate consignment sales.

Imagine the price of a private party sale with the benefits of a wide selection of vehicles, clean showroom, and knowledgeable sales staff. Because of our unique consignment model, we can price our vehicles lower than traditional dealerships. Our low-pressure sales environment allows you to make the right decision without the stress associated with a traditional dealership. Each vehicle is test driven to check for issues, and has a current state inspection. We can offer financing and vehicle warranty options through recommended 3rd party providers.

We sell vehicles for our customers. We clean, photograph, and listthe vehicle. We consistently sell below retail value, which is not possible at a traditional dealer! We then collect a flat fee from the seller of the vehicle for our services. You get a better deal than at a normal dealer, and the seller gets a better deal than trade-in. Consignment is a win-win!

Used vehicle warranties are available from a trusted 3rd party provider. Unfortunately, due to the age and nature of our business, we do not accept returns. For greater piece of mind, we recommend having the vehicle inspected at a trusted mechanic. If you do not have a mechanic nearby, there are a number of local and mobile companies that provide comprehensive vehicle inspections in Houston like Lemonsquad.com. If you are mechanically competent, we are happy to lift the car and let you investigate. If we find problems, we’ll work with the seller to fix them ordisclose them beforeputting the vehicle up for sale.

Unlike many Houston dealerships,we do not touch cars with a salvage or rebuilt title.

Texas cars are often desirable for people in other regions because of the better overall condition of the vehicle (less rust, higher % of highway miles). We can meet buyers at either Houston airport (IAH or HOU) or arrange shipment for out of state buyers. We do our best to accurately document the vehicle so you know what you are getting just from looking at each listing on our website. We are more than happy to work with you; contact us!

Absolutely! We welcome 3rd party inspections by a nearby shop, dealer, or mobile inspector.
