How our used car sales in Chelmsford work
Our Chelmsford car auctions offer remarketing opportunities for sellers and a diverse selection of quality-assured vehicles for buyers. Vehicles are sourced from leading leasing and finance companies, franchised dealerships and car supermarkets, ensuring a consistent flow of stock.
For sellers looking to maximise returns, we offer independent vehicle inspection services at our Chelmsford location. Furthermore, our on-site upgrade service can enhance NAMA gradings, ultimately increasing the value of your vehicles.
Buyers attending our Chelmsford car auctions or participating online via Aston Barclay LIVE! will find a user-friendly experience. Our sales are open to both trade and private buyers, offering flexible fees that can be reduced with increased auction activity.
