When you sell stock with us, you’ll receive a dedicated account manager who will work with you to match your inventory with the appropriate buyer. Through developing excellent relationships with every client, our account managers know exactly what stock each buyer is looking for and will let them know if your stock is a match.
Want to see how your stock is performing? You’ll be able to access sell reports through the ‘My account’ feature to see how each of your vehicles is progressing.
To help promote your stock to our vast range of customers, we use data to drive our marketing activity and ensure that your stock is getting in front of the right audience. And, across each of our sites, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art automated vehicle inspection technology, which ensures each vehicle listing has 20 auto-generated high-quality images.
We’ll make it as easy as possible for you to sell your stock with Central Car Auctions, providing UK-wide transportation so we can collect your vehicles from you and deliver them straight to your buyer. Plus, we’re consistently investing in our transport fleet as we grow, so you and your buyer can enjoy a reliable service at every step of the auction journey.

Once your vehicle has sold, we’ll send your payment out by cheque promptly to ensure you receive your earnings as soon as possible.
The reserve price is the minimum amount that you will accept for the vehicle you’re selling. You’ll choose a reserve price when listing your vehicle with us.
If the vehicle does not meet the reserve price, it can be relisted in a future auction at either the same price or a lower reserve price if you prefer. If a bidder comes very close to the reserve price, we may accept a provisional bid and discuss a price that both parties agree on.
We recommend choosing a reserve price based on the current market value of the vehicle and sale prices for recently sold vehicles that are similar in make, model, year, grade and mileage.
Once your vehicle has been sold, we will liaise with the buyer to organise payment and transportation where applicable, and you will receive a cheque with your payment.
To help your car sell, our account managers will ensure that buyers who may be interested are aware that the stock will be on sale. We also use data-driven marketing to ensure that the right stock gets in front of the right buyers.
