How it works

Find your dream car. Or sell your car to a dreamer.

Tim is a matchmaker for classic-car enthusiasts. Mostly people who've been chasing a specific car for years. Sometimes people ready to find the right next driver for the one already in their garage.

Buying

From the first conversation to the first drive.

End-to-end, hand-paired, white-glove. One concierge, one car, one accountable hand.

  1. Intake

    Week 1

    We talk — 30 minutes, phone or video. What you're after, what you'll spend, what matters and what doesn't. I ask the questions most buyers don't know to ask and most sellers don't volunteer answers to. By the end, I know exactly what I'm looking for — and so do you.

  2. Search

    Weeks 2 to 6

    I work the sources you don't have: private networks, regional dealers, enthusiast forums, barn-find leads. Not just BaT and Craigslist — real sourcing. When candidates surface, I filter hard. You only hear about the ones worth your time. Most clients see three to five options. Some see one perfect one.

  3. Vet

    Before any offer

    I see it in person. Walk around it, look underneath it, talk to the seller. I order the pre-purchase inspection and read every line of it. Then I tell you what I actually think — not just what the report says. If something's off, I say so. If it's the one, you'll know why. Vetted in person, delivered with care — the standard doesn't bend.

  4. Negotiate

    Days 1 to 3 after vetting

    I negotiate on your behalf, with your budget and my read on the market. Flat fee means my incentives are yours: you should pay less, not more. Thirteen years of reading people and finding the number — that's what this is. The deal closes when it's right.

  5. Transport

    Weeks 7 to 9

    Enclosed transport, vetted carriers. The car you just bought deserves the ride. I manage the logistics, the pickup window, the in-transit communication. You'll know where it is. No surprises, no white-knuckling the tracking link.

  6. Handoff

    Weeks 8 to 12

    The moment the whole thing is for. The car arrives — I'm on the phone. We walk through the paperwork, the condition, anything to watch in the first few weeks. Then you drive it. For the drive, not the destination — that's the point of all of it.

Selling

Or you're selling. Find it a dreamer.

Sometimes you're not chasing a car. You've had one for years, and it's time to find someone who'll cherish it the way you have.

Tim does that too. Same network, same eye. The arc is shorter — the car's already in your garage — but the care is the same.

Intake

Day 1.

We talk about the car. History, quirks, paperwork, what you want for it, what kind of driver you'd want it to go to. I want to know the car as well as you do.

Present

Weeks 1 to 2.

Photography. A real description, written by someone who understands what a 1972 BMW 2002 actually is — not a generic listing on Craigslist. Done well, the right buyer finds it.

Find the right driver

Weeks 2 to 8.

I work the network: enthusiast forums, my active buyer list, dealer contacts. Real candidates only. Not flippers. People who'll drive it. We negotiate, transport, and hand off the keys.

Pricing

Flat fees. On success.

Flat tiers, $2,500 to $7,500+ depending on scope — clearly defined search at the low end, rare or cross-country work at the high end. Your tier is quoted on the intake call, never after. No scope creep, no surprises at the end.

The fee is on success — match found, deal done, car delivered. If I can't find it, you don't pay. Most engagements run 6 to 12 weeks from intake to first drive. Some take a day. Some take a year. The dream cars don't always show up on schedule.

Selling? Different model — a percentage of the final sale, quoted at intake. The work scales with the car.
