Tips and tricks
What are the tricks to making a successful purchase?
Before the sale
-
1
Check the location of the vehicle for sale
Localisation allows you to anticipate the cost of transportation.
-
2
Select vehicles upstream of the sale to anticipate and facilitate tracking of the bids
The electronic sales platform allows you to add vehicles to your selection, place them all in "my bids" in your customer account.
-
3
Carefully consult all the vehicle description and documents
VPauto PRO is committed to being 100% transparent. You have everything you need to choose and compare vehicles.
-
4
Check the type of sales according to your preferences
We have 2 types of electronic sales:
- Exclusive sales: VPauto PRO is the only one with the listing of vehicles on offer.
- Non-exclusive sales: Some non-exclusive sales are by submission. In other words you can only make a maximum offer, there is no bidding. Your offer will be submitted to the seller, if it is the best you will win the auction. You do not see the competing offers, so make your best offer so you will have no regrets later! -
5
Prepare your purchases ahead of the sale
Vehicles sold exclusively are displayed prior to the sale. You can therefore choose, compare and study the vehicle calmly.
-
6
Estimate your anticipated margin
Anticipating the final price of the vehicle will allow you to make an informed purchase and optimise your anticipated margin.
During the sale
-
1
Check your watch so you don't miss the end of the sale
Everything accelerates towards the end of the sale, a car can be lost in the last minute of an auction.
-
2
Get support from your dedicated adviser before and during the sale
Enjoy the personalised assistance of your sales adviser. Trust a vehicle market expert to guide you in your choice.
-
3
Don't wait until the end of the sale to make your offers
Use the maximum bid function so you don't have to return to the lot several times.
After the sale
Once you have won the vehicle, to save time we recommend you follow these steps:
