A: Selling your car through consignment allows you to retain possession of your vehicle while a professional consignment agent markets the car and facilitates the sale on your behalf.  

Traditionally, owners who wanted to sell their car only had two options. The first option was to sell / trade-in to a dealership. This was fast, but it guarantees the lowest possible price for your vehicle. Dealerships act as middlemen. To remain profitable, they must buy your car at a drastically reduced wholesale rate to absorb their showroom overheads, holding costs, and refurbishment fees - all while building in their own profit margin. Put simply, their business model inherently incentivizes them to pay you as little as possible.

The second option was to find a direct buyer by themselves. This would allow sellers to get the true market price for their car, by eliminating the middleman, but this methodwas very difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. You will be responsible for staging and photographing the car yourself, paying $72 to $112 in listing fees on platforms like Sgcarmart (verify their prices here), fielding calls at all hours, filtering out lowballers, and managing viewings and test drives. Furthermore, you also have to navigate complex LTA ownership transfer documents and help the buyer secure financing. The entire process would easily consume over 20 hours of the seller's personal time.

 We built Centurion Consignment to eliminate this compromise and offer sellers the best of both worlds. With Centurion, we act as your dedicated marketing agent, connecting you directly to an end-buyer to secure the highest possible market price - without charging you a single cent. You simply reach out to schedule a professional photography session with us, and we handle the rest. We take care of the marketing, viewings, test drives, price negotiations, buyer loan applications, and all LTA paperwork. You receive maximum visibility for your vehicle and a significantly faster sale, completely hassle-free.

The Centurion Advantage

On average, our consignment clients walk away with 15 - 20%, or $8,000 to $30,000 more for their vehicles compared to direct dealer trade-in offers. For example, on a car with a market value of $100,000, a dealership will typically offer you only $78,000 to $85,000. Whereas, by consigning with us, you can unlock, or even exceed, the full $100,000 of market value from a direct buyer. (Read about our success stories here). Our consignment services are provided free of charge. As an added bonus, if you take advantage of our June promotion, you will receive an extra $200 cash reward on top of your selling price, credited directly to your PayNow upon a successful sale. Put simply, the dealership business model incentivizes them to secure the lowest possible price for your car. Centurion was built to do the exact opposite - it is also in our best interests to see you secure the highest possible price for your car, to the extent that we are paying you to consign with us !

A: Selling or trading in your vehicle to a dealership is undoubtedly the fastest way to offload your vehicle, but it comes at a steep financial cost. This is because dealerships act as middlemen - they must offer you a lower wholesale price in order to absorb their own showroom overheads, vehicle holding costs and refurbishment fees before they flip your car to the next buyer. On top of these, they must also include a profit margin.

In contrast, consigning your car with us allows you to bypass the middleman entirely and receive the full market price of your car. We do not buy your car to flip it as a middleman. Instead, we act as your dedicated marketing agent to help you secure the true market value of your vehicle. On average, our consignment clients walk away with 15 - 20%, or $8,000 to $30,000 more for their vehicles compared to direct dealer trade-in offers. For example, on a car with a market value of $100,000, a dealership will typically offer you only $78,000 to $85,000. Whereas, by consigning with us, you can unlock, or even exceed, the full $100,000 of market value from a direct buyer. (Read about our success stories here).

Some dealerships may also offer consignment services. However, they typically charge an admin fee of $300 to $800 just to cover their overheads. Worse, their sales teams are naturally incentivized to push their own depreciating inventory before recommending viewers to your consigned car. There is a underlying conflict of interest. In contrast, Centurion is a specialized consignment agency that charges you zero fees. To guarantee your vehicle gets the dedication it deserves, we strictly cap our intake at just five active listings at any one time. We focus intensely on your listing and only accept the next client once your car is sold.
We pledge to find a direct buyer for your vehicle within three weeks. If we cannot secure a successful sale in that timeframe, you are free to cancel our engagement with absolutely no penalty - this will be documented in black-and-white in the Listing Authorization Form. Furthermore, you will also get to keep the professional photos taken by us, no questions asked.

Additionally, by consigning with us, you can continue driving your car all the way until the final handover while we find your buyer. Whereas, traditional dealerships will require you to leave your vehicle depreciating on their showroom floor.

A: Yes, our consignment services are provided completely free of charge to the seller. We do not charge you for any marketing, administrative, or operational costs incurred during the consignment process, and the entire sale price paid by the buyer is passed on to you. Instead, we make money by offering our financial, insurance, and warranty services to the buyer. It is also in our best interest to help you secure the highest possible sale price for your vehicle.

The current market practice in Singapore is for consignment agents to charge the seller an administrative fee ranging from $300 to $800. We are deliberately bucking this trend and removing this fee entirely to help you maximize your returns, as a token of appreciation for choosing us as your preferred consignment partner. As an added bonus, if you take advantage of our June promotion, you will receive an extra $200 in cash on top of your final selling price, credited directly to your PayNow account upon a successful sale. By taking advantage of this promotion, you are essentially being paid to engage our services.

However, it is important to note that while our services are entirely free, you may still be responsible for certain third-party administrative costs. These are external fees that you would naturally incur regardless of whether you choose to consign with us, sell your vehicle to a dealership, or through a private sale. For example, if your vehicle is currently tied to an outstanding hire-purchase loan, you may be liable for early redemption penalties or bank discharge fees to fully settle the loan before the vehicle ownership can legally be transferred to the buyer.

To understand exactly how much these external fees will cost, we recommend contacting your financing bank directly to request an Early Loan Settlement Quotation. If you prefer, we can also assist you in navigating this process; once you provide us with your financing bank's name and loan account number, we can help you obtain the exact settlement breakdown. These charges do not come from our end, and we hope to maintain absolute transparency by helping you quantify these external charges before selling your vehicle, so that you know exactly how much cash will return to your pocket upon a successful sale.

A: There are absolutely no obligations or hidden penalties for engaging our services. If you change your mind, are not satisfied with the price offered by the buyer, or are not satisfied with our services, you can withdraw our engagement at any time with zero penalties. You only sell when you are 100% happy with the offer on the table.

A: Yes, absolutely ! You can continue to drive your car throughout the consignment process, up until the physical handover. When conducting viewings and test drives, we will coordinate with you well in advance to arrange a convenient time and location. We also provide a complimentary concierge service to pick up and drop off the keys from your doorstep, and handle the viewing and negotiation process on your behalf.

A: To guarantee your vehicle gets the dedication it deserves, we strictly cap our intake at just five active listings at any one time. We focus intensely on your listing and only accept the next client once your car is sold.

A: On average, the entire consignment process takes about 3 weeks from the initial listing until the physical handover. You will receive the sale proceeds (after deducting your outstanding hire-purchase loan, if any) via Paynow on the day that the vehicle ownership is successfully transferred to the buyer. 

A: No. We understand that your vehicle is a high-value asset, and our entire process is built to ensure financial security and transparency. We partner with an established and licensed third-party vehicle financing agent to handle all transaction funds, loan disbursements, and loan discharges. Furthermore, we will only initiate the ownership transfer after our financing agent has received the buyer's cash downpayment and loan disbursement. You will receive your net sale proceeds on the same day that the vehicle ownership is successfully transferred to the buyer.
