Understanding the Concept of Used Commercial Vehicle Auctions
Utility vehicle auctions consist of putting vehicles for sale, often for professional use, at a set starting price. Interested parties make competitive bids until the highest bidder wins the lot. These auctions can involve different types of vehicles and come from different sources such as manufacturers, local authorities or public administrations. These are voluntary sales. More rarely, vehicles are offered for judicial sale, associated with a company liquidation. The sale can take place online or in a room and is led by an auctioneer.
To participate in a utility vehicle auction, you have two options:
Move into the room and bring your bids to the auctioneer.
Log in at the time of the sale to participate online
In both cases you will need to have created an account to participate in the auction.

The advantages of buying a utility vehicle at auction
Get a vehicle at a reduced price
The major advantage of purchasing a utility vehicle at auction is that you can often obtain a vehicle at a price that is much lower than that of the traditional market.
At VPauto we give you the maximum amount of information about the vehicle so that you can best prepare your purchase! Full description, bodywork condition, interior condition, technical inspection or expert report, road test: we guarantee you total transparency.
It is important to note that the starting price of the auction, also called the ” reserve price “, is usually low enough to attract as many buyers as possible. This means that even after several rounds of bidding, the final price can remain below the market price, allowing the buyer to get a good deal.
Diversity of vehicle choices
One of the great advantages of auctions is the diversity of commercial vehicles on offer.
Whether you are looking for a light vehicle for urban use, a van for transporting goods or a pick-up for heavier work, you will find a variety of models adapted to your needs. In addition, these vehicles can come from different brands, giving you a wide choice.
