How it works

From first request to keys in hand.

Eight steps, always in the same order. At every stage you know what you’re doing, what we’re doing and how long it takes.

  1. Step 1: Your request

    You
    You fill in the search form: your budget and needs, or the exact model.
    Huntly
    We read through it and prepare for our call.
    Time
    About 5 minutes

  2. Step 2: Our call

    You
    You tell us what you’re after and ask any questions.
    Huntly
    We go over your criteria and give you a first idea of market prices and whether your budget is realistic.
    Time
    About 10 minutes, within 48 working hours

  3. Step 3: Getting started

    You
    You pay a €99 deposit, which comes off the fee.
    Huntly
    The search begins.
    Time
    The same day

  4. Step 4: The search

    You
    Nothing. We’ll keep you posted.
    Huntly
    We search in Belgium, then in Europe if you agree. We check each car and negotiate the price.
    Time
    Less than 10 days

  5. Step 5: Your shortlist

    You
    You receive up to 5 checked cars, with photos, Car-Pass, history and negotiated price.
    Huntly
    We answer your questions and help you compare.
    Time
    Within 10 days

  6. Step 6: Your choice

    You
    You choose the car, sign the confirmation of choice and pay the balance of the fee and any bonus.
    Huntly
    We then give you the seller’s details and arrange the viewing.
    Time
    As soon as you’ve chosen

  7. Step 7: The viewing and the order form

    You
    You go and see the car (we recommend it) or accept it from photos and video, then sign the order form. Nothing is bought without your written agreement.
    Huntly
    We go with you whenever possible and prepare the documents with the seller.
    Time
    Whenever suits you

  8. Step 8: Paying and picking up the keys

    You
    You pay the seller directly and drive away.
    Huntly
    We check the paperwork is in order and coordinate any extras (inspection, delivery, import).
    Time
    Depends on the seller and any extras

What we check

If we haven’t checked it, you won’t see it.

  • The Car-Pass. For Belgian cars: the recorded mileage, with nothing that doesn’t add up.
  • The service history. Service book, invoices, manufacturer recalls.
  • Detailed photos. Bodywork, interior, tyres, engine bay. We ask for whatever is missing.
  • Whether the price is fair. Compared with equivalent cars on the market.
  • The Euro standard and the LEZ. To know whether the car can drive in Brussels, and until when.
  • The documents. Registration certificate, certificate of conformity, roadworthiness test.
  • The seller. Garage or private seller: identity, reliability, no signs of a scam.
  • The car itself. If it’s in Belgium and we can, we go and see it in person.

Brussels LEZ check

Will your next car be allowed in Brussels?

Brussels’ low emission zone is gradually banning older cars. We factor this into every search. Try it now:

Our full guide to the LEZ

Allowed in the Brussels LEZ until 2029 at the latest.

For guidance only — the exact Euro standard is on the registration certificate. Official rules on lez.brussels. Rules checked on 30 October 2026.
