What the sourcing mandate does

The best 911s often change hands away from the public portals. With a sourcing mandate you put the entire buying side in our hands: the search, the assessment, arranging viewings, the negotiation and the purchase process from a single source. You make the decisions, we give you the solid basis for them.

Have you already found a specific car? Then you do not need a full sourcing mandate. The Porsche 911 Purchase Advisory takes you through the assessment, the follow-up questions and the buying decision for one candidate.

The search

A systematic market scan across every relevant platform and the 911Finder network: dealers, collectors and off-market contacts.

The assessment

A Digital Audit and Purchase Advisory for every serious candidate: price, specification, history, the seller's statements and how the car sits against the market. Condensed into a shortlist with a clear recommendation.

Arranging viewings

We arrange appointments where the car is. If you wish, we assess it on site, from the paint and the control units to the paperwork (Technical Due Diligence, instructed separately).

The negotiation

A professional price negotiation built on the assessment dossier and current market data. Your budget stays confidential throughout.

The purchase process

Support through the vehicle side of the purchase and the handover. We check the car, the specification, the accessories and the inspections promised against what was agreed. A legal review of the contract is not part of the service. On request we arrange registration and transport at cost.

How it runs

Seven steps to the right 911

From the mandate to the handover: clearly structured, documented and easy for you to follow at any point.

The mandate

We talk through what you have in mind. You then receive a transparent mandate agreement setting out the scope, the fee and an exclusive term of 6 months.

The search brief

Together we define your search brief: model series, body style, transmission, specification, colours, budget and what you want the car for. Adjustments are possible at any time during the term.

The market scan

A systematic search across every relevant platform and our network of dealers, collectors and off-market contacts. Cars you already know about are recorded at the outset, so the search is transparent from the start.

An audit and advisory for every candidate

Every serious candidate is assessed remotely. We evaluate the listing, the history, the specification, the price and how the car sits against the market, bundle the questions to the seller and make sense of the answers. You receive a shortlist with a clear recommendation.

The viewing & optional due diligence

We arrange the viewing. At your request we also assess the car on site with Technical Due Diligence: paint thickness measurement, control unit analysis, technical check and document review, resulting in an assessment and negotiation dossier. This on-site assessment is not covered by the mandate fee and is charged separately (from €790 incl. VAT plus travel at €0.59/km), and of course only once you have approved it.

The negotiation

A professional price negotiation built on the assessment dossier and current market data. Your budget is never disclosed to sellers.

The transaction

We support the vehicle side of the purchase and the handover, check the car and the services promised against what was agreed, and advise on timing and how well the car should hold its value. A legal review of the contract is not included. On request we arrange registration and transport at cost.

Transparent & success-based

The fee: you do not pay twice

The sourcing mandate starts with a retainer of €1,500. It covers the market analysis, building the shortlist, ongoing market observation and the remote assessment of listings. On a successful purchase the retainer is credited in full against the success fee of 3.5 % plus VAT (effectively 4.17 % incl. VAT).

Worked exampleAmount
Purchase price€120,000
Success fee, 3.5 % net€4,200.00
plus 19 % VAT€798.00
Success fee, gross€4,998.00
less the retainer (already paid)- €1,500.00
Balance due on purchase€3,498.00

A worked example for illustration. Retainer incl. VAT, success fee 3.5 % of the purchase price plus VAT.

On-site Technical Due Diligence is not covered by the mandate fee: if you want an assessment on site, it is charged as a separate service (from €790 incl. VAT plus travel at €0.59/km), always after we have told you and you have approved it. If no purchase comes about during the term, the retainer remains as a flat fee for the work carried out.
