The world’s leading classic Mercedes-Benz specialist has launched a new online sales platform, focused on improving the buying and selling experience.
Following almost two decades of market expertise (over 2000 classic Mercedes-Benz sold), the company is offering its unrivalled support to buyers and sellers of classic Mercedes-Benz cars.
SLSHOP Assured MarketPlace forms part of the company’s strategy to remove the uncertainties associated with buying through traditional and digital auctions, classifieds, trade and private sale avenues, while also improving returns for sellers. Featuring a range of industry-first benefits for buyers, including a 12-month warranty on all classic Mercedes-Benz models. Alongside this, the company will provide a downloadable 300-point mechanical and cosmetic inspection of every vehicle for sale on its platform. This inspection is also part of a new ‘On the Road’ service which includes photography and is carried out at the seller’s premises, offering a seamless, unintrusive journey for classic Mercedes-Benz owners selling their vehicle.
Enthusiasts purchasing vehicles through SLSHOP Assured MarketPlace also benefit from zero purchase fees when using the platform unlike alternative digital purchasing platforms.
SLSHOP’s Assured MarketPlace provides a 360-degree sales function for classic Mercedes-Benz owners wherever they are, offering a carefully curated digital advert and tailored marketing to a global audience of highly engaged classic car enthusiasts. With the company’s ‘On the Road’ inspection and photography service, SLSHOP expects a number of classic Mercedes-Benz owners to sell their vehicle through their website each month with 80+ cars waiting to be added to the 60 online today.
SLSHOP Founder, Sam Bailey commented: ‘’Let’s be clear, this is not just another digital auction or classifieds channel. We are thrilled to be able to deploy years’ worth of market and vehicle knowledge to provide classic Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts a safe, smooth and swift way to transact online, applying the same principles expected of buying a new or used car, to the classic car market. Our Assured MarketPlace removes geographical barriers, allowing us to inspect, capture and bring to market, classic Mercedes-Benz models from around the UK, offering complete transparency for buyers underwritten by our renowned 12-month warranty.’’
SLSHOP Assured MarketPlace goes live on the 18th October, 2023. Sellers are invited to take advantage of the company’s expertise with immediate effect. Cars inspected as part of Assured MarketPlace are identifiable by their distinct ‘Assured Check’ which is presented online in a traffic light system, and with feedback from the company’s expert classic car craftsmen.
