About Us
From a 16-year-old selling a family friend's car in 12 hours, to a registered motor vehicle dealer — this is the story of how MV Consignment came to be.
Quality
Every vehicle is presented at its best — from detailing to photography to listing. We don't cut corners because our name is on it.
Care
Clients are kept informed and supported through the entire process. You're not left wondering what's happening with your vehicle.
Commitment
Fees are tied to results. Commission is only earned at settlement — so our incentive is always aligned with getting the best outcome for you.
From The Driveway Up
12 hrsTo sell his first car
12 Hours. One Car. Everything Clicked.
At 16, a family friend asked him to sell their 1991 Audi 90. He detailed it, photographed it, and listed it himself. It sold in 12 hours.

No Licence. Parents' Driveway. One Client At A Time.
The early operation was as grassroots as it gets — his dad drove the cars home because Matthew didn't have his licence yet.
A client base built entirely on word of mouth, with zero paid advertising. The first client: a 2006 Holden Caprice.

Every Key Partnership Started Over A Single Car.
Pure Finance came through a Nissan Juke on consignment. Skylines Downunder — MV Consignment's export and import partner — came through the same E36.
Workshop Partner — Spargs Auto Tune
Spargs is our go-to workshop — any mechanical work a vehicle needs, these guys handle it. Pre-purchase inspections are carried out here too, and they deal directly with our buyers for full transparency. They're also great customers of ours, consigning a few race cars through MV Consignment.
18Registered dealer
Registered Dealer. Paperwork. By Himself.
Becoming a registered motor vehicle dealer brought a new level of compliance — something Matthew worked through largely on his own at just 18.
100%Word of mouth
It Was Never Really About The Car.
Cars have been part of Matthew's life since before he could walk — Beach Hop from six months old, with both his dad and grandfather into cars.

150+ Vehicles. 5 Stars. 100% Kiwi Owned.

Some Sales Stay With You
1991 Toyota Townace
Fully restored. Sold at a car show in Hamilton — the buyer drove it back to Auckland.
2020 BMW M340i
One of Matthew's personal favourites — it showed in how it was presented. Also the first car to go to the South Island.
1974 Mercedes 280SE
Classic. A rare find that stood out from the moment it arrived.
1996 BMW 328i Track Car
RHD Engineering ITBs, a fitted LSD, and still road legal — WOF and rego current. A track car you can drive to the track.
