Who this page is for

You found the right vehicle, but it is sold privately, not by a dealership. Or you are selling your own and your buyer needs financing to close. The private-sale gap is exactly where Alpina works best.

Buyers: finance the car you actually found

The best vehicle for your budget is often a private listing, not a dealership unit. Alpina lets you finance that private-sale purchase properly, with a full inspection before you commit, so you are not paying cash blind or walking away from the right car.

Sellers: close faster, at the right price

Selling privately is slow when every buyer needs to arrange their own money. Offer financing to your buyers through Alpina and you widen your pool, sell faster and at a fairer price, whether or not you already have someone interested.

Trade-ins and negative equity

Your buyer has a vehicle to trade? Not a problem, it can be part of the deal. Owe more than your current vehicle is worth? That is negative equity, and where the file allows, the remaining balance can be structured into the new financing.

Key terms

Private sale: a transaction between two individuals, not through a dealership. Negative equity: when you owe more on your current vehicle than it is worth. Trade-in: applying the value of your old vehicle toward the new one.
