Car Auctions

Auctions can offer choice and speed, but the buyer usually has less time and fewer protections than in a conventional retail purchase.

Before bidding

Read the auction conditions, inspect the vehicle, check identifiers and history, calculate buyer fees and decide a maximum total price including transport and repairs.

Bid with discipline

Do not let competition replace judgement. Understand deposits, payment deadlines, collection windows and whether the vehicle is sold with registration, keys, documentation or any warranty.
