Sale or return, explained

Sale or return is a long-standing way of selling through a dealer, without selling to one. They professionally advertise your car, handle enquiries and test drives, then sell it on your behalf at a price you’ve agreed.

You stay the owner until it sells. Because the dealer isn’t buying it outright, there’s no trade margin squeezed out of your price.

Leaving you with more money for the same outcome.
