A quick guide to selling your car at auction


If you are thinking of selling your car, putting it through a trusted and experienced car auction such as Aston Barclay can be a great way having a captivated audience looking for immediate purchases and results.

We have compiled a Quick Guide to selling your car at auction so that you can familiarise yourself with the process...

You can also visit our Auction Dictionary for explanations on the most frequent terms used in car and vehicle auctions.

  • Make sure your vehicle is clean and tidy.
  • Make sure you have all of the available documentation and items that came with the car. This can include: V5c Registration Document, Road Tax Certificate, MOT Certificate, spare keys, SatNav disk, historic garage receipts.
  • Your car is then lotted into the next available auction.
  • There is a fee of £25 for each sale your vehicle is entered into.
  • You should consider the ‘reserve price’ for your vehicle. Our team can assist you in deciding a reasonable reserve for your vehicle based on current market trends and valuations.
  • ‘Reserve price’ is the minimum sale price for your vehicle. Your vehicle will not be sold for less than this without your prior consent.
  • We will strive to deliver the best result for your vehicle at our auctions.
  • If your vehicle fails to meet your reserve price, we may take a ‘provisional bid’ if the highest bid is close to the reserve.
  • In the event of a provisional bid, we will contact you and attempt to reach agreement between you and the bidder on the sale price.
  • You are entitled to stick to your reserve.
  • You can enter your car into as many separate sales as you feel necessary.
  • If your vehicle is unsold, we will speak to you about the possible reasons for this.
  • When your vehicle has been sold we will send payment to you.
  • A sellers fee is payable on top of the entry fee on all vehicles sold. This is an increasing scale dependant on the final sale price of your vehicle. Please ask a member of our team for our latest commission rates.
  • We will liaise with DVLA Swansea regarding the change of keeper and sale of the vehicle.

 

If you feel that you still need some guidance, please contact us and a member of our team will be happy to help you.
