How to auction your car via Automotive Auctions?

Do you have a car you want to sell but have no idea where to start? The process of selling a car can be complicated and time-consuming. Luckily, there's a simple and efficient way to sell your car, though it might not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, there's a simple and efficient way to sell your car: auction it through Automotive Auctions.

 

Why choose to auction your car?

An auto auction offers several advantages over traditional selling methods. Here are a few reasons why you should consider auctioning your car:

  1. Potential for higher proceeds: At a car auction, multiple interested buyers can bid against each other, driving up the price. An auto auction can result in higher proceeds than selling the car to one person.
  2. Speed and convenience: Don't feel like hosting potential buyers at home to view the car? Our car auction makes the selling process quick and easy. You no longer have to find potential buyers yourself or negotiate. Everything is taken care of for you at a car auction.
  3. Transparency: Car auctions are transparent. You can follow the bidding process and see how much interest there is in your car. This gives you a good idea of the market value of your vehicle!
  4. Reach: With a reach of buyers from 52+ countries, we, in collaboration with the auction house Troostwijk, have a massive reach! This increases the chance of finding the buyer willing to pay a good price for your car.
  5. Excitement and fun: For some people, participating in a car auction can be an exciting experience, with the thrill of bidding and the opportunity to strike a good deal.

 

How does auctioning your car via Automotive Auctions work?

Apart from cars, we are also ready for the sale of your two-wheeled motor vehicle, camper, boat, caravan, and more. If you are considering auctioning any of these mentioned vehicles through us, we kindly request you to contact us personally via the phone number 0485 - 57 57 57 or via info@automotive-auctions.nl.

If you decide to auction your car through Automotive Auctions, here are the steps to follow:

  1. Registration: Register your car for the auction via https://www.automotive-auctions.nl/nl/auto-laten-veilen/. Make sure to provide all relevant details, such as make, model, year, mileage, and any damage.

  2. Intake: We schedule a prior consultation over the transfer of the car. Upon intake, we inspect for any damage or other issues. Then our auctioneers conduct a detailed photo session and provide an extensive description for the presentation of the car auction.

  3. Online auction: Once all cars are received, we can proceed with the live car auction. We aim for an online car auction between 50 and 150 lots. After a few days, the auction is 'opened,' and bids can be placed on the cars. For each auction, we organize at least one viewing day at our locations. Here, potential buyers have the opportunity to extensively view the car, inspect it, and start the engine. Test drives are not possible.

  4. Closing the auction: After the viewing day(s), the auction remains open for bidding for a few more days. Once the car auction is closed, we review the highest bids on the participating lots. Together with you, we make the decision the next morning whether the car can be assigned to the highest bidder. So, you always retain control over your own car!

  5. Auction handling: If your car is awarded to the highest bidder, the vehicle will be delivered to the new owner on the pickup day a few days later. Prior to the pickup day, we will discuss with you what is needed to properly transfer the car to the new owner. After payment of the invoice and transfer of the car, the buyer, upon submission of the deregistration certificate, may take the car.

 

Conclusion

Auctioning your car through Automotive Auctions is a simple, fast, and efficient way to sell your car. With potential for higher proceeds, reliable buyers, and transparency in the bidding process, auctioning your car offers many advantages over traditional selling methods. Follow the steps we have discussed and use the tips for a successful auction. Before you know it, you'll have sold your car with ease!
