Rolls-Royce Customers Who Make Profit Selling Their Spectre To Used Car Dealers Will Be Banned For Life
British luxury marque Rolls-Royce to ban customers who make profit selling their electric Spectre to used car dealers.
Talked about proving ‘who you are’, ‘what you want to do with the car’, ‘need to qualify for a car’ and getting ‘a slot for an order’.
Starting at £330k and as much as £450k with added options, the Rolls-Royce Spectre Coupe goes on sale this summer.
Despite Rolls-Royce threats, supercar dealer Tom Hartley said he has already agreed £50,000 premiums for two Spectres.
Hartley, known for selling second hand Rolls-Royce, noted that Rolls-Royce can’t tell customers what they do with their cars.
British luxury marque, Rolls-Royce is set to establish Ferrari-like strict rules of ownership after vowing to ban customers who sell their all-electric Spectre Coupe for a profit to used car dealers for life.
Speaking at the launch of the new car in California, Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös told Car Dealer Magazine that any attempt to cash in on the Rolls-Royce Spectre will result in them being blacklisted.
“I can tell you we are really sanitising the need to prove who you are, what you want to do with the car – you need to qualify for a car and then you might get a slot for an order.
“[If they sell the car on] they’re going immediately on a blacklist and this is it – you will never ever have the chance to acquire again.”
Starting at £330,000 and as much as £450k with added options, the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre Coupe goes on sale this summer with first deliveries of the car in the autumn.
Speaking further, Müller-Ötvös said some 40 per cent of Spectre buyers are expected to be new to the brand.
He added:
“Many buyers see Spectre as the very first proposition in the ultra luxury segment to go electric and that is quite something.
But despite Rolls-Royce threats, supercar dealer Tom Hartley said he has already agreed £50,000 premiums from customers for two Spectres.
Hartley, known for selling second hand Rolls-Royce models his entire career, noted that Rolls-Royce can’t tell customers what they do with their cars.
Hartley said:
“Money talks and manufacturers will never stop successful entrepreneurs, businessmen and aristocrats from selling their cars.
“I have already agreed to buy two Spectres from customers. I do not think it is fair for car makers to tell customers who have spent close to half a million pounds on a car what they can do with it.
“It’s not right. People’s circumstances change, they could have a genuine reason for the sale such as financial problems.”
