Calculator: selling private vs dealer

Selling your prestige car

If you are weighing up what the best way to sell your prestige car might be, this calculator is here to help. Whether you are selling an Audi, a BMW or a Porsche - the discount you pay when selling to a Dealer can be hefty. But of course, it’s also really convenient and you get cash for your car quickly. If you’re not in a hurry, selling your prestige car privately might be the best option, if you’re prepared to put in the time and effort yourself. For everyone else… well that’s why Summon exists.

Use the calculator below to get a guide for how much you could get for your car if you sold it privately, to a dealership, to a dealer on consignment or with Summon.

Start by entering the estimated value of your prestige car. If you need help with working out an estimated value, either contact us or read through our recommendations in our 2020 guide and checklist for selling your prestige car privately.
