You have 3 days to pay for the purchased car. To avoid any kind of late fees and penalties you have to send your money the same day you made a successful purchase.

You have 3 days to pay for the car, if we do not receive the payment from you on the 3d day after the purchase, we will charge you $50 or 0.125% per day as a late fee and you will be asked to send a copy of confirmation of your payment along with the contact information of a sending bank. If we do not receive a payment or a copy of confirmation from you in 5 days, we will relist or relieve the vehicle and you will be charged minimum of $400 or 10% from the price of the car as a relist fee.

What other fees do I need to pay upon the car’s purchase?
The total cost for your vehicle consists of the car’s price or winning bid, fees and shipping charges. Since vehicles posted on the website come from different auctions, dealerships, insurance companies and car yards, the amount of fees you pay for your car is different in each particular case. Every car’s fees breakdown can be found right under BuyNow or Your Bid buttons on the vehicle page. Shipping cost varies and depends on the current location of the vehicle and its condition. You can get an approximate shipping cost to your destination by using the shipping calculator which is provided on every vehicle's page or by sending the email to shipping@auctionexport.com

Do you offer financing?
We offer financing to the following ports: Kotka Finland, Bremerhaven Germany, Klaipeda Lithuania and Tema Ghana. You must be approved for financing before bidding. Please contact us for further information on financing.

Do you provide installment plan for your cars?
Unfortunately, we do not offer installment plan for vehicles. AuctionExport is a brokering company which means we do not own our inventory. So in case you are interested in any deal, we would need to contact the seller, make all the necessary arrangements to have the car reserved while you arrange the full payment.

How would I know if you received my payment?
You will receive an automated email message. You can also check the status of your payment in “Finances” section of your profile.

Unfortunately, due to Canada Trade Restrictions there are a few countries that we are not able to do business with. We will not approve an account if the contact address is in any of these countries. For more information, please visit the Office of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada

Can I pay for the car after delivery?
We require the full payment before delivery because we need to buy the car for the client from the seller and we need to pay for transportation services as well. That is why transportation of the vehicle will be possible once the full payment is done. (But we can offer Financing option to some destination.)

If the car doesn’t have Buy Now Price, how can I get the price to be ready for the purchase?
In this case we advise to check results of previous auctions in Similar Vehicle Price Statistics Results, which are available on each car’s profile, to get an idea about approximate potential price of the car.

Do you accept cryptocurrencies?
We do not accept any other payment means but credit card and bank wire transfer payment options in USD.

What will be the price in my local currency?
Unfortunately, we do not follow up on exchange rates, receiving payments in USD. Kindly consult with your bank or any valid online converter on this matter.
