The job of a car agent, often referred to as a car broker or mandataire auto, involves acting as an intermediary between vehicle buyers and sellers, should they be private, dealers or manufacturers. The automobile agent has in-depth expertise of the new and used vehicle market, and uses this knowledge to help his or her customer find the car that best suits their needs and budget.

Automotive agents don't hold a stock of vehicles themselves. Instead, they establish relationships with different suppliers and negotiate prices on behalf of their customers. They can offer advice on model choice, financing options, warranties and after-sales services. In addition, they often take care of the administrative formalities involved in buying a vehicle, such as registration and transfer of ownership, which can considerably simplify the process for the buyer.

In short, the automotive agent is an advisor and negotiator who works on behalf of the buyer, with the aim of finding the best vehicle at the best price, while offering a stress-free, personalized buying experience.

There are several important differences between taking your car back through a dealership or garage and selling it through a service like Garage Privé:

1. Valuation and price: Dealerships and garages may often offer lower valuations for your vehicle, as their aim is to make a profit on resale. Garage Privé, on the other hand, strives to get you the best possible market price, reflecting the true value of your vehicle.​
2. Sales process: When you take your car back from a dealer or garage, the process is usually quick and straightforward, but you may not get the best price. With Garage Privé, the process may take a little longer, but it's designed to maximize your financial return.
3. Flexibility and negotiation: In a trade-in, there's little room for negotiation, and the trade-in value may be conditional on the purchase of another vehicle. With Garage Privé, you have more flexibility to negotiate and sell without being obliged to buy a new vehicle.​
4. Services and support: Garage Privé offers personalized services and support throughout the sales process, including advice on how to present your car and handling administrative formalities. Dealerships and garages generally offer less personalized services for trade-ins.
5. Target audience: Dealerships and garages aim to resell your car quickly, often to other dealers or directly into their network. Garage Privé, on the other hand, targets end-buyers directly, which can help you get a better price.
6. Transparency and trust: Garage Privé focuses on total transparency and trust in the sales process, providing detailed information and answering all your questions. Dealerships and garages can sometimes be less transparent about how they assess your car.

In short, while taking your car back through a dealership or garage may seem more convenient and quicker, selling your vehicle via Garage Privé can offer a better financial return, greater flexibility and a more personalized service.

Garage Privé's evaluation of your car's price follows a meticulous process to ensure that you receive a fair and competitive offer.

Here's how it works  :

1. Detailed vehicle analysis: We start by gathering detailed information about your car, including make, model, year, mileage, options and general condition. This information helps us to understand the basic value of your vehicle.​
2. History and condition review: We examine the car's history, including service history, previous repairs and any accident history. The car's current condition is also assessed, considering both the interior and exterior, as well as mechanical functioning.
3. Market comparison: We use industry databases and evaluation tools to compare your car with similar vehicles on the market. This includes reviewing recent sales prices and market trends for similar models in similar conditions.​
4. Adjustments for unique features: If your car has special features or upgrades, such as high-tech equipment, custom finishes or low mileage, we adjust the valuation to reflect these unique attributes.
5. Local market demand: Demand for certain vehicle types can vary by region. We take local market demand into account to ensure that the price reflects what buyers in your area are willing to pay.
6. Expert consultation: Our team of valuation experts reviews all the information gathered to determine the fairest and most competitive price for your car.
7. Presentation of the offer: Once the evaluation is complete, we present you with a detailed offer. This offer will include an explanation of the factors that influenced the valuation of your vehicle, ensuring total transparency.

By following these steps, Garage Privé ensures that your car's valuation is both fair and in line with the current market, allowing you to make an informed decision about selling your vehicle.

It's an excellent strategy that adds an extra layer of security for both parties, sellers and buyers. Here's how it works at Garage Privé:

1. Third-party account: We use a third-party account, similar to those used by estate agents and notaries, to manage financial transactions. This account acts as a safe haven, where the buyer's money is deposited before the sale is finalized.
2. Vehicle verification: Before funds are released, we ensure that the vehicle is in order and corresponds to the description provided at the time of sale. This may include a check of vehicle documents, a mechanical and physical inspection, and confirmation that the vehicle is free of any financing or other encumbrances.
3. Confirmation of full payment: Funds are held in the third party account until all conditions of the sale have been met, including confirmation that full payment has been received and that all parties are satisfied with the terms of the transaction.
4. Release of funds: Once all checks have been completed and both parties have confirmed their satisfaction, the funds are released from the third-party account. The seller receives payment, and the buyer obtains official ownership and documentation of the vehicle.
5. Legal certainty and transparency: the entire process is governed by legal agreements that ensure transparency and security for all parties involved. The terms of the transaction are clearly defined, and all parties must approve them before proceeding.

By using this type of system, Garage Privé guarantees that the sales process is secure, transparent and fair for both sellers and buyers, minimizing the risk of fraud or misunderstanding and ensuring that all conditions are met before funds are released.

Garage Privé offers a very advantageous warranty policy for buyers. Here's how it works:

1. One-year extended warranty: Every vehicle sold by Garage Privé automatically comes with a one-year extended warranty. This warranty typically covers major parts and critical vehicle systems, giving buyers extra peace of mind after purchase.
2. 60-month warranty option: In addition to the standard one-year warranty, purchasers have the option of extending this warranty for up to 60 months. This extension is structured as monthly payments, making it affordable and convenient for many customers. This extended warranty can offer more comprehensive coverage, extending protection against mechanical defects and breakdowns.
3. Flexibility and choice for the buyer: By offering these options, Garage Privé gives buyers the flexibility to choose the level of warranty that suits them best. This can be particularly attractive to customers who want long-term protection for their investment.
4. Security and confidence: By offering a warranty, Garage Privé reinforces buyers' confidence in the quality of the vehicles sold. It can also enhance the company's reputation and customer satisfaction by reducing the risks and worries associated with buying a used car.
5. Clear claims process: In the event of a problem covered by the warranty, customers can generally benefit from a clear, structured claims process, ensuring that the necessary repairs are carried out quickly and efficiently.

In short, Garage Privé's warranty policy offers significant added value for purchasers, allowing them to customize their level of protection and providing added security after the purchase of their vehicle.

In Belgium, obtaining a roadworthiness certificate is mandatory when selling a car, except for vehicles destined for export. With Garage Privé, you have two options for obtaining this certificate:

2. Doing the technical inspection yourself: You can also choose to do the inspection by yourself before the sale. In this case, you'll have to go to an approved center.

If your car is still on credit, here are the general steps you should follow to sell it, bearing in mind that specific procedures may vary by country and financial institution:

1. Check the remaining amount: Contact the financial institution or bank that holds your loan to find out the exact amount still to be repaid. This is called the closing balance.​
2. Paying off the balance: Ideally, you should pay off the remainder of the credit before selling the car. This can be done with your own funds or by using part of the buyer's payment. Be sure to obtain written confirmation of credit closure from the financial institution.
3. Transfer of ownership: If the buyer pays enough to cover the remaining loan balance, you can use this money to close the loan. The bank or financial institution will then need to provide you with the necessary documents to transfer ownership of the car to the buyer.
4. Intermediary services: In some cases, it may be simpler to use a service such as Garage Privé, which can manage the loan payment and ownership transfer process. This can include managing the funds between the parties until the loan is fully repaid and the car can be legally sold.
5. Inform the buyer: Be transparent with the buyer about the credit situation. Some buyers may be reluctant to buy a car on credit, so providing all the necessary information and insurance can help facilitate the sale.
6. Legal consultation: Consider consulting a lawyer or financial expert to ensure that all steps are taken legally and correctly, especially if the situation is complex..

By following these steps, you can sell your car even if it's still on credit. Make sure you understand your lender's specific requirements and local laws to avoid any complications.
