Classic, Award Winning VW Dune Buggy - Sold

First time I’ve sold a car with C&C. My 1969 VW Dune Beach Buggy is very special and unique, hence C&C seemed to be the most appropriate place to sell.

The listing process was straight forward and once the listing was live it was easy to make changes, monitor viewings, message and so on.

Expect the usual wishful thinkers and chancers, but once you weed them out and focus on the genuine buyers, it’s a good experience.

Sold my buggy in 2 weeks.

This is not the first time I have sold a car through C and C and certainly will not be the last.
What remains a constant is the quality of the buyers and there shared enthusiasm for the cars on offer, I can honestly say that the folk who have bought from me have remained friends to this day!
Keep up the good work guys you have a unique site that's not challenged by anybody else.

I put my Audi RS4 B7 up for sale on a Tuesday, it had about 100 views over night, then the next day I noticed that Chris "Monkey" Harris, famous TV car personality, had linked my car to his Instagram account, and over the next few days i was getting over 1000 views daily, i had so many enquiries, agreed persons to visit and view the car and the car was sold by Saturday morning. Im sure that Chris Harris sold it for me by using it in his link. Thanks Chris.

Car sold after a couple of weeks to first person to view. The great thing is there were no spam emails trying to get me to buy and pay for a car history check, no messages saying “is this still available”, and no auctions being won and nobody turning up to pay and collect. Thanks!

I like the money escrow feature - saves tyre kickers and lowball offers at the door

I dislike the fee structure. When my car sold for £2600, (£250 enhanced auction fee plus minimum sale fee of £600+ VAT I ended up with £1630. Ie the effective cost of sticking in the auction was 37% of the sale cost. I would probably have done better on Ebay given these costs.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and share the breakdown - we appreciate the honest feedback. It’s good to hear the escrow process worked well for you in helping keep the sale focused and serious.

We’re sorry to hear you felt the overall cost was higher than expected in relation to the final sale price. Our fees are set out upfront before listing so sellers can make an informed decision on whether the auction route is the right fit for their vehicle, and we’ll always encourage anyone to reach out if they’d like help understanding how the structure applies to their specific sale.

All the best,

Simple and Easy

A really easy experience putting the car into the auction, great photographer and great support from the team at C&C. Transferring the car to a wonderful new owner was simple and before he had driven out of the village the money was in my bank. Perfect auction experience

Car and Classic are a very professional outfit and my dealings with James Kijowski and Ian Macrae have been very satisfactory. However, the winning bidder for my vehicle was very difficult to contact and delayed his pick up of my car until the last possible moment which caused me various issues which I am only now getting resolved.

Hi David,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and it’s good to hear your experience with James and Ian was positive throughout the process.

We’re sorry to hear the handover with the winning bidder proved frustrating and created knock-on issues at your end - that’s never ideal, especially when everything else has gone smoothly.

All the best,

A great website

A great website, easy to list your vehicle. Mine sold effectively in 24 hours { guy took 3 days to come to inspect } and sold for full asking price with no discussion on price. Very happy and would recommend to anyone. Had a least 6 other enquiries so site obviously works.

First time auction seller experience, couldn’t be happier!

First time selling a vehicle by auction and would happily do so again. James had everything covered from start to finish, was particularly efficient with communication, explained the process thoroughly, and quick to ensure I was happy with the listing. The photographer, Dom, was brilliant. Was quick and simple to arrange for photographs to be taken of my vehicle and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The listing covered everything I asked and the whole team ensured I had the best possible chance of selling, and we did! Thank you James & the team, would recommend Car & Classic to anyone looking to sell or buy.

Hi Em,

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this - especially on your first auction experience with us. It’s great to hear James kept everything clear and well managed, and I’ll make sure Dom sees your comments as well.

Glad it all came together with a successful sale in the end.

Simple to use website, quick sale.

My first time using Car & Classic as a private seller. Simple to use website providing free valuations and free adverts to sell your car, with options to pay for enhanced promotions. I went with the free option to start with.

Had people expressing interest on the first evening and it sold to a private buyer within 24-hours. Plus a garage offering a decent price if the first buyer didn't finalise - thankfully he did. So it couldn't have been a better selling experience really.

Both said they were impressed with the amount of detail I included in the advert rather than just brief highlights and the fact that any known faults / issues were highlighted - so I would recommend doing that.

Best Way to Sell Classics Privately

Being a petrol head and classic car enthusiast I have used C&C several times.
Its a great platform for putting a car in front of the correct people.
Very easy to use although one has to be wary of scammers as they are usually the first to approach and come in different guises.
