Why Sellers Choose Reserve Lane
No Consignment Cuts
Traditional consignment services take 10% or more of your sale.
Reserve Lane charges a flat fee—so you know exactly what you’re paying, and you keep all of the final sale price.
No risk - You Stay in Control
We never take possession of your vehicle or ask for your title.
You maintain full ownership, transparency, and final say throughout the entire process.
Expert Auction & Listing Strategy
We specialize in enthusiast and collector vehicles.
We know what buyers look for, how to price realistically, and how to tell a story that wins auctions or converts fixed-price inquiries.
White-Glove Presentation
Great listings drive great outcomes.
We guide or coordinate photography, write pro-level listings, and make sure every detail is optimized before your car goes live.

Built by Enthusiasts—for Enthusiasts
This isn’t a dealership, a sales funnel, or a flipper scheme.
Reserve Lane is an advisory-style service created for people who care about the cars—and the outcome.
Transparent Flat-Fee Pricing
No pressure, no surprise fees, no mystery markups.
Just simple, fair pricing that makes sense—whether your car sells for $100K or $500K+.
FAQ
Q: Do you take a percentage of the sale price?
No. Reserve Lane operates on a simple flat-fee model. Whether your vehicle sells for $100K or $500K, your fee remains the same. No percentages, no hidden costs, and no surprises.
Q: Do I need to ship my car to you?
Never. You keep your car at all times. Reserve Lane provides listing, marketing, and negotiation services remotely—you maintain full control and custody throughout the process. It's 100% risk free.
Q: What types of vehicles do you work with?
We specialize in enthusiast, collectible, and exotic vehicles typically valued at $100,000 or more. Examples include Porsche 911s, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, BMW M-cars, rare American classics, and specialty SUVs and trucks.
Q: What platforms do you list cars on?
For auctions: Bring a Trailer, PcarMarket, and Cars & Bids. For fixed-price sales: AutoTrader, Hemmings, DuPont Registry, private buyer networks, and other curated marketplaces.
Q: What if my car doesn’t meet the reserve price at auction?
If an auction closes below your reserve, no problem—you stay in full control of your vehicle. We’ll review the outcome together and, if you choose, re-strategize for a re-listing, a platform switch, or a private sale approach.
Q: Who handles buyer communication and negotiation?
Reserve Lane manages all buyer inquiries during auctions or private listings. We screen buyers, field questions, handle negotiations professionally, and keep you informed at every step. Final approval always rests with you.
Q: How long does it take to get my vehicle listed?
Once you submit your vehicle information and photos, most listings are prepared and submitted to platforms within 5–7 business days. Auction platforms have their own approval timelines, typically adding another 7–14 days depending on demand and listing volume.
Q: What if my car needs professional photos or a pre-purchase inspection?
We can coordinate trusted photographers or PPI providers in your area. These services are billed separately at local market rates, but we’ll handle scheduling and preparation to save you time.
Q: Can you help if I’m unsure where to list my car?
Absolutely. Part of our onboarding consultation includes a full review of your car, goals, and timing. We'll recommend the platform (auction or fixed-price) that gives you the best shot at a successful sale.
Q: Why not just list my car myself?
You absolutely can—but serious sellers know presentation and process matter. Reserve Lane increases your chances of a faster sale, a higher final price, and a much smoother experience, while saving you from countless hours of questions, paperwork, and buyer back-and-forth.
Not sure which route is right for your car?
