Consignment and Storage

Storage: Cars cost $85.00 per month to store while in consignment. Non-consigned cars are stored on a pre-arranged basis for $165.00 per month. “Left” or abandoned vehicles which haven’t contracted for monthly parking or non-renewed consignments which are kept on any Cosmopolitan Motors, LLC premise will incur the daily rate of $15.00 per day.

Boats or other specialty vehicles will incur their standard moorage or storage fee, along with any management fee, if applicable. Storage is all in all a “loss leader” for Cosmopolitan Motors, LLC and does not offset the cost of space.

Labor: The internal labor rate for pre-existing customers is $75.00 per hour. All consignors are considered “pre-existing.” The non-internal rate is $85.00 per hour.

Insurance: To help offset the cost of insurance on the inventory, consignors are asked to reimburse Cosmopolitan Motors, LLC for its cost in insurance coverages. The price is $25.00 per month per vehicle. It is not inclusive of individual coverage on the consigned vehicle and in fact the consignment agreement requires that all consigned vehicles be separately insured. Please contact us directly if you need assistance securing coverage on your vehicle itself. Payment of $25.00 to contribute to the umbrella policy is in no way meant to be construed so as to provide coverage for your individual vehicle. Consignor’s vehicle and its contents kept in any and all of our premises at consignor’s sole risk and expense.

Consignors are encouraged to express their preferences and all efforts will be made to show deference to them where possible. Consignee is too busy to be able to continually contact consignor with routine decision making.

Trades:   Consignee will always endeavor to produce the best results for consignor. Occasionally a trade may become a part of a transaction.
