# Motolist

> Motolist is a marketing and advertising service for mid to high end enthusiast cars in New Zealand, plus a marketplace where buyers browse the listings. Owners sell direct to buyers. Motolist is not a dealership: it never owns cars, holds deposits, brokers sales or takes a margin on the sale.

## What Motolist does

- Sellers pay a fixed fee, agreed in writing before the shoot, for a photo shoot, a film, a written listing built from the car's history file, publication on motolist.co.nz and a campaign aimed at buyers who follow that kind of car.
- Packages: Basic $790, Plus $1,490, Pro $2,490 NZD, plus optional add ons. There is no commission, success fee or percentage of the sale.
- Buyers pay nothing. Browsing, saving and enquiring is free. Enquiries go straight to the owner, who replies directly.
- Inspection, price, payment and handover happen between owner and buyer. Motolist never holds money.
- Cars covered: JDM imports, European performance cars, exotics and modern classics, across New Zealand.
- Sold cars stay published with their final price and days to sell, as a public record of the New Zealand enthusiast car market.
- Contact: motolistnz@gmail.com. Replies within one working day.
