ISSIMI is a full-service marketplace to buy and sell the most extraordinary motor vehicles in the world. We pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional client experience, building trust with our community, and promoting transparency with every transaction. With a team boasting over 100 years of combined experience in the specialty car market, we are uniquely equipped to help collectors navigate the sometimes opaque world of car collecting.

The name ISSIMI, derived from the Italian language's superlative structure, reflects our high standards. This linguistic tribute to the exceptional is a reflection of our steadfast commitment to quality. By embodying the spirit of the 'best of the best', ISSIMI underlines our promise to offer a curated selection of the most remarkable collector cars from around the globe.

We specialize in modern supercars and classic sports cars but we are open to anything interesting - show us what you have.

The more information the better - at a minimum, year, make, model, miles, VIN and recent service records. But if there is more to know about your car’s history, we would love to hear it.

When the vehicle arrives, we wash it, give it a thorough inspection and point out any recommended repairs - most of which we can carry out in house. Some repairs we recommend performing prior to a sale, some we will recommend to leave. We want to make sure your vehicle is presented in the best possible light. Then, it gets photographed and a detailed description is written prior to going live.

Once live on ISSIMI.com, your listing will be presented before serious, qualified enthusiasts and collectors across the globe. These buyers may then offer your full asking price or below, and if you choose to accept an offer, it will then become the starting price for a 72-hour, no-reserve auction. This ensures you get the highest possible outcome with your listing. If additional bids yield a higher final hammer price than the auction starting price, ISSIMI will collect a performance fee of 15% of the difference between those two values.

No. If a car is withdrawn during the auction, you are subject to a $400 cancellation charge per our consignment agreement.

With so many variables at play, it can be hard to set an asking price. We are constantly monitoring the listings as well as watching the current market to gather the most up to date pricing information. We suggest adjusting your asking price to garner more interest and can help you determine where you should adjust to.

Leave the heavy lifting to us. When your car sells, we will reach out to the buyer and get all the necessary details and receive their payment. All you need to do is give us the signed title and your payment will be issued.

We charge a seller’s premium of 5% of the final hammer price of the auction. This fee covers transportation to an ISSIMI facility, all of the vehicle preparation as well as all advertising and sales initiatives. When a sale is handled by ISSIMI, your car receives the same (if not better) treatment than most conventional dealers or auction houses, who routinely command premiums of 10-15% or more from a seller.

Your consignment agreement will specify how long your vehicle is exclusively for sale with us.

You will have the option to receive your vehicle back or continue to advertise the vehicle on our platform.

We charge a buyer’s premium of 2% of the final hammer price of the auction.

Viewings can be arranged at one of our facilities prior to the close of auction. Contact us and we can schedule an appointment.

Never. We find that the secret reserve price found in more traditional auction settings are detrimental to everyone. What is the point of bidding up a vehicle, with no idea when the seller will actually let the car go? Our platform functions more along the lines of how one buys a house - the seller sets an asking price and then potential buyers send offers to determine where the bidding begins. The seller then chooses the offer they are happy with and at this point, those who have previously made offers are alerted to what the current starting price is and the auction begins.

If the party who submitted the starting bid offer is not the final auction winner, they will receive 15% of the difference between the auction starting price and the final auction hammer price.

1% increments rounded to the nearest hundredth. For example, a $100,000 car would mean the minimum bid is $1,000.

We welcome outside inspections. But to put buyers at ease, all of our cars are subject to a thorough inspection including paint meter readings and a road test prior to the auction going live - the results of which are available on the cars listing page. We stand behind every inspection.

No. To keep it fair for both the seller and other bidders, if you choose to withdraw from the auction, you will be charged the buyer’s premium of 2% of your bid.

ISSIMI routinely organizes domestic and international transport for buyers. We have a network of air, marine, and ground transporters that can get your new purchase from our warehouse to your front door safely and quickly. With our international presence, ISSIMI is familiar with overseas transport and are happy to help with all the necessary paperwork to make each transaction seamless.

Buying and selling cars is what we do - and we know that there can be a lot of paperwork associated with a transaction. Leave all of that to us.

ISSIMI does not own any of the vehicles sold on our marketplace. All vehicles for sale are owned by individual collectors and are on consignment at an ISSIMI dealership. As the selling dealer we will fully manage each transaction, from all transfer paperwork, title, registration, payment, and logistics.

All listings on our platform must go through the full auction process to ensure a fair outcome for all parties involved.
