Audio Transcript - The Ultimate Sales Platform for Buying & Selling a McLaren

We've intentionally a bold heading to this topic, the ultimate sales platform for buying and selling a McLaren. Of course, if you happen to be the seller, you're looking for the best possible buyer at the fairest possible price. You want to avoid the hassle and the pitfalls that are common knowledge with car sales. You don't want people wasting time. You don't want your car mistreated as it's perhaps test-driven. And most importantly, you want a hassle-free transaction.

If you're the buyer, you are very much thinking of the buyer beware slogan that turns up on some auction platforms. You're nervous you're going to buy something that's going to fall short of expectation. You're nervous you're going to buy something that requires extensive service work. And perhaps more worryingly, you might be nervous that you're going to buy something that's not quite as described. The car's described as having 30,000 kilometers. The reality is it has nearer 350,000 kilometers in a worst-case scenario. You don't want to buy a car that has one careful owner that actually has a record of being used as a taxi. And the stories on the internet abound.

At Thorney, we take all of that negative away, completely away, and we replace it with some very positive things indeed. From the selling point of view, there is a premium to be enjoyed for cars that have been through our workshops. People understand that they've had a full inspection, the service work has been carried out in a particularly thorough and professional manner. They know that timed out items have been changed as they should be, as recommended by McLaren, and importantly, they know that all the little tweaks and benefits that can be applied to the vehicle almost certainly have, and they're properly detailed.

Furthermore, there's a full record, photographically, not only of the car in the state that it's for sale, but probably of its history up to that point, because that's all intrinsic value that comes as part and parcel of being a Thorney customer, when you have your car maintained and looked after by us. McLaren Cars the car that is for sale via this platform, very, very attractive indeed. It's a standout car from those cars offered for sale with various secondhand car dealers around the world, and even main dealers. Sadly, it's all too common to go and see a car, whether it's a McLaren or any other car, and start to have dialogue with the salesperson, only to learn that there's an engine check light on, or worse, only to learn that perhaps the tyres would be benefiting from being replaced, only to learn that there's some wheel rim damage, all the little things, and when you ask about this, the salesman, just like a stuck record, says, well sir, that'll be fixed if you buy the car.

That's not how Thorney operate. The car that is for sale is the car that is for sale and all those very annoying and often very necessary little service items and sometimes not so little that were required to be done have been done. That peace of mind is indeed part and parcel of why people are so pleased to buy a motor car through the Thorney sales platform. It's also why those cars could be argued as enjoying a small premium but of course in reality it's not a premium at all it's just very good value because their costs that the buyer does not have going forward.

The seller of course is particularly pleased because it means he's optimized the value and the price that he's got for the car that at the time it's sold. If you are the seller we offer a fixed price sales plan so we sit down with you and we agree what it is that we're going to charge you for selling the car at the front end. We also make allowances for work that we might need to do to bring it into full selling condition and if you're a buyer for the car you're going to be able to see the car photographed correctly optimized on the internet and platforms that it might best be seen clearly visible on our website with a clear audit trail of exactly what it is you're coming to look at and you're going to have one-on-one attention when you come and view the car. You're going to have the opportunity to drive it. This all makes our platform unique and it makes it really add value to the complete buying and selling of a McLaren proposition. Come and see for me we'd love to talk to you.
