How long does it take to sell my car at auction?
Most online auctions run for 7 days, giving buyers time to discover your listing, follow the auction and place bids before it closes.
What types of cars sell best at auction?
Classic cars, modern classics, performance models, limited editions, collector vehicles and enthusiast-owned cars often perform strongly at auction.
Will I get a good price selling my car at auction?
A strong result depends on presentation, demand and buyer confidence. Clear photos, honest descriptions, service history and sensible expectations can help attract competitive bidding.
