The times when foreign cars were considered a luxury item have long passed. And now, many motorists can afford to buy a European car, even if it’s a used one. And especially in this market segment, cars from Germany are valued. After all, everyone knows about the pedantry of the Germans, which applies to their cars. Therefore, you can buy from them, albeit an old, but solid foreign car at an affordable price. And this can be done through car auctions in Germany. Many motorists have already appreciated the merits of these trading platforms. And the Germans themselves, in order to attract customers and justify the durability and reliability of their cars, give them a guarantee for a period of one year, and sometimes two.
Also, German car auctions, in addition to good prices for their cars, provide a fairly wide selection of lots with a full description of their characteristics. But buying a car at such an auction differs from acquiring it at a regular car dealership. Here, in some cases, the cost of the car may be hidden, that is, it can be found out only after you make a bet. And the seller in this case sets the minimum price at which the car can be sold. And until it is reached, the lot will not go under the hammer. But if, nevertheless, at the end of the bidders, the buyers did not offer the minimum price, then it goes to the one who made the highest bid. Here, usually the seller and the client agree among themselves, stopping at the "golden mean".
Some other German car auctions operate according to the scheme when the price of a car does not increase, but decreases. But most of them are classical, that is, the client who offered the maximum price for the lot wins. In addition, there are closed auctions where only experts with special documents can sell cars. And at such auctions, a low cost is not provided, and the price of the model is formed during the auction.
Germany's car auctions are the most sought after in Europe. The largest number of transactions take place on them, and the choice of car here is quite large. And an example of such an auction is the Autobid.de platform, which for many years has been a leader among similar sites both in Germany itself and in Europe. Here, the buyer is offered three options for bidding. These are remote online trading, live - live presence and netlive - combining the first two options. This car auction in Germany sells over three thousand cars in a week. Here, potential buyers with the exposed lots are introduced a week before the start of trading. At the same time they get inf
Information about the technical characteristics of the vehicle and about 40 photographs of it. And the winner is the customer who offers the maximum price. Confirmation of the transaction is the email that the client receives.
And the oldest car auction in Germany is the Manheim site. This is a whole company that was organized about 60 years ago. Its 20 offices, scattered all over the world, employ over 34 thousand employees. And 145 auction sites of this company are located not only in Germany, but also in Belgium, Spain, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and China. They sell not only cars, but also trucks, motor vehicles and water transport. Over 10 million pieces of equipment pass through this auction network every year. And the annual turnover of this company is 60 billion dollars.
