This SOP exists so every off-market exotic / high-value vehicle we source is:
Safe
Profitable
Properly documented
Compliant for our companies and funding partners
It protects:
Our funding partners and corporations
Our buyers / facilitators

Use this SOP when any of the below apply:
Supercars and exotics: Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.
High-end SUVs & sedans: G-Wagon, Maybach, S/7-Series, RS/AMG/M cars, etc.
Limited / special-edition / low-production units
Any unit $100,000+ CAD or any deal where a loss would hurt
If you’re not sure, treat it as an exotic and follow this SOP.

Seller’s ID
Private sale: name on ID must match registration
“Selling for a friend”: also get the actual owner’s details
Confirm in writing:
“Is there any lien or financing on this vehicle? If yes, with which bank and approximately what balance?”
Run the proper lien / encumbrance search in the jurisdiction where the vehicle is registered.
Order a Carfax or local equivalent for every exotic / high-value vehicle, unless Manager confirms we already have a recent one.
Watch for:
Salvage / rebuilt / lemon / flood titles
“Just imported – not fully registered yet” with weak documentation
Unrealistic story vs price / spec
Any concern: escalate to Manager.
No clean history + no clear ownership + very low price = walk away unless Manager explicitly approves.
You do not quote firm numbers to the seller until Manager reviews the deal.
When a deal looks good, send a Deal Snapshot:

Short note on why this deal is strong (market, spec, scarcity, off-market angle)
Key photos and reports attached
Manager will respond with:
Approved (with target numbers)
Approved with changes
Declined – move on
Do not skip this.
You can say:
“Based on condition and current market, we can move at around $____, subject to inspection and final approval.”
Any agreement must clearly show:
Full vehicle details and VIN
Agreed price and currency
Conditions (subject to inspection / verification)
Validity / closing deadline
Use only approved templates (Buyer Agreement, Assignment of Rights, etc.).
Do not sign external contracts without Manager review.
For true off-market units, try to secure 48–72 hours exclusivity while we complete due diligence.
For exotics, inspection is standard. Exceptions require Manager approval.

Pause the deal and contact Manager if:
Seller will not provide the VIN or clear photos
Name on registration does not match seller with a weak story
Price is far below market with no clear reason
Seller insists on cash only or refuses ID
Vehicle recently imported with incomplete documents
Multiple brokers are claiming control of the same car

Flow:
CA→CA (Canada-sourced and sold within Canada)
CA→Global (Canada-sourced for export)
EU→EU (Europe-sourced and sold within Europe)

Accounting and Management handle tax. Your job = clean paper trail.
Use this when the vehicle is physically in Europe.
Seller Types:

Extra Checks in Europe:
Confirm if the vehicle is in the EU or UK / non-EU

If there is ever an audit or investigation, we should be able to open the VIN folder and clearly see:
Who owned it, who funded it, who we sold it to, and how it moved from Canada or Europe to the global buyer.
If anything is missing, treat the file as incomplete and fix it.
