How it works

The process

1. 1

   Request and quotation

   The client tells us the vehicle, or the lot, they want. We confirm availability and quote the total cost: the purchase price, auction fees, our fee, inland transport, and ocean freight.

2. 2

   Agreement and payment

   The client receives a purchase agreement and an invoice identifying the vehicle. Funds are transferred to the company account named on that invoice, and nowhere else.

3. 3

   Purchase at auction

   We buy the vehicle and settle with the auction house within its payment deadline. Auctions charge storage and can cancel a sale if payment is late, so this step is time-critical and we handle it directly.

4. 4

   Title and export documentation

   We collect the title from the auction and prepare the documents required to export the vehicle and to clear it at destination.

5. 5

   Inland transport and loading

   The vehicle is transported by road to the port of departure and loaded, in a container or roll-on/roll-off, according to what the client has chosen.

6. 6

   Ocean freight and delivery

   The vehicle sails to the destination port. We pass the bill of lading and the title to the client, who clears the vehicle at their end.

What appears on every invoice

Each invoice we issue identifies one specific vehicle. It states:

• VIN
• Year, make, and model
• Auction lot or stock number
• Odometer reading, and whether that reading is actual, exceeds mechanical limits, or is not actual
• Title status — whether the vehicle carries a clean or a salvage title
• Purchase amount
• Departure date
• The buyer's name, address, and country
