What does the type of damage mean?

You can find descriptions of the types of damage here.

How do I know if a vehicle has already been auctioned?

Vehicles marked with the symbol are re-entries in the auction.

We do not recommend taking part in such auctions, or you need to take a very good look at the past and present damage. There is a high probability that the aftermath of a previous event has been poorly handled. We recommend checking the history of the car through carfax.

Is it reliable to buy a car sold by a private individual at auction?

We do not recommend participating in auctions where vehicles are not sold by insurance companies. There is a high chance of buying a "doll". You can read what a "doll" is here.

I noticed damage to my car on arrival that I didn’t see in the photos, who will cover the repairs?

We are not responsible for the condition of the delivered car or any hidden defects, so we recommend that you carefully assess the condition of the car from the auction photos.

For an additional fee, we can offer insurance against damage during transport.

In your user profile, under "Winning auctions", you can find information about the transport of the vehicle from the auction to the port.

Will I get photos from the port?

How do I find out the container number and the name of the ship?

You can find all the information in your user profile, under "Winning auctions".

How long does the boat sail for?

The duration of the sailing depends on the location of the port, with a typical duration of 30-45 k.d. More information can be found here.

How do I find out the date when my car will arrive at the port?

For full details, see your user profile.
