A managed sale

Professional
representation.

Submit your vehicle for review. Once approved, we securely store it at our private, unmarked facility in New Milford, Connecticut. We digitize its documentation, detail it inside and out, and professionally photograph it for auction.

We actively manage the auction, post comments and updates, respond to emails and phone calls, and arrange private showings.

After a successful sale, we assist with paperwork and the transfer of funds, and coordinate vehicle pickup or transport.

A personal approach

Who we work with.

We work with first-time auction sellers, busy professionals, experienced collectors, and owners who prefer a private, managed sale.

From attainable enthusiast cars to established collections, we consider each vehicle’s condition, history, and market appeal—not price alone.

Based in New Milford, we serve owners throughout Litchfield and Fairfield counties. Whether you are selling one car or reviewing several, the first step is a conversation. Explore consignment in your area.

Fees

No upfront listing fees.
Clear terms.

We cover the auction listing fee and handle detailing, professional photography and video, document digitization, storage, and auction management. Our commission is an agreed percentage of the sale price. You receive payment directly from the buyer, and we are paid only after you are fully funded.

Mechanical repairs are not included. We prefer to represent vehicles in solid mechanical condition.

If your car remains unsold and we cannot find a buyer within a reasonable time after the auction, a $599 fee applies. We return your car fully detailed and send you the professional photo folder to keep and use.

Before we get started

Questions, answered.

Who is Drivers Select for?

We work with owners of collector, classic, performance, and enthusiast vehicles, from first-time sellers to experienced collectors. We review condition, history, and market appeal to decide whether a car is a good fit.

What types of vehicles do you accept?

We consider collector, classic, performance, specialty, and enthusiast vehicles. Submit the year, make, model, mileage, location, and a brief description so we can review your car.

Why use an auction management company?

Experienced auction management brings together vehicle preparation, professional presentation, and active buyer communication. Accurate information, clear photographs, and knowledgeable responses give buyers confidence and help your car achieve a strong result.

Why use Drivers Select instead of selling the car myself?

Our small team brings over a decade of industry experience and a proven record of completed private and auction sales. We handle the work from preparation to pickup, giving you a hands-free process and buyers a knowledgeable point of contact. You stay informed and make the key decisions.

What does your auction management service include?

We store your car at our private New Milford facility, digitize its records, detail it, and create professional photographs and video. We prepare the listing, manage comments and buyer inquiries, and arrange private showings. After the sale, we assist with paperwork, payment coordination, and pickup or transport.

How much does it cost?

Our fee is an agreed percentage of the sale price, payable only after you have received the full sale proceeds. If the vehicle remains unsold and we cannot find a buyer within a reasonable time after the auction, a $599 fee is due.

What does the commission cover?

For qualifying consignments, the commission covers the listing fee, detailing, photography and videography, document digitization, auction preparation and submission, and storage during preparation and auction. It also covers private showings, phone calls, active comment and email replies, plus paperwork, key transfer, and pickup coordination after the sale.

Do you have a contract?

Yes. We use a standard consignment agreement that sets out the services, commission, and terms before we begin.

Do I pay anything upfront?

There are no upfront listing or standard photography fees for qualifying auction consignments. Any separately priced work is agreed with you before it begins.

Do I receive payment directly from the buyer?

The buyer pays you directly. Drivers Select is paid only after you have received the full sale proceeds. We assist with the paperwork and coordinate pickup or transport.

Which auction platforms do you work with?

Bring a Trailer is the first choice for many of our sellers. We also work with Cars & Bids and PCarMarket, recommending a platform based on your vehicle, its likely buyers, and your priorities.

Can you sell my car through Bring a Trailer?

Yes. We prepare the vehicle and its submission, then manage the listing once Bring a Trailer accepts it. We handle auction comments, buyer questions, private showings, and coordination after the sale. View DriversSelect on Bring a Trailer.

Does my car need to be perfect?

No. We consider a car’s condition, history, originality, modifications, and market appeal. Tell us about known issues so we can recommend appropriate preparation and represent the car accurately.

Can I use your services if I live outside Connecticut?

Yes. Send us the vehicle’s location and details. We review the car and discuss transport to our New Milford, Connecticut facility before you make arrangements.

Can you arrange vehicle transportation?

We help coordinate transport to our facility and pickup or delivery after the sale. Timing and transport costs are discussed with you in advance.

How long does the process take?

From drop-off to payment, the process can take as little as two weeks and averages four to six weeks. Timing depends on preparation and auction scheduling.

What happens if the vehicle doesn’t sell?

If your car does not sell at auction, we continue working to find a buyer. If it remains unsold after a reasonable time, a $599 fee is due. Your car is returned fully detailed, and we email you a folder of professional photographs.

Why is there a fee if my car doesn’t sell?

Much of the work is completed before the auction begins. The $599 fee helps cover listing, preparation, detailing, photography and video, document digitization, storage, and buyer communication. We can also explore another auction platform or a private sale. If we cannot find a buyer within a reasonable time after the auction, the fee is due. Your car is returned fully detailed, and the professional photo folder is yours to use.

Can you sell my vehicle privately?

Yes. We offer private sales and sourcing for select vehicles. We recommend a private sale or auction based on the car, your priorities, and the current market.

Do you offer photography without auction management?

Yes. Our media service provides professional photography for owners managing their own listings. Completed photo sets are delivered within 48 hours. Contact us for scheduling and pricing.
