Automotive Trade Center

Automotive Trade Center works from Heerhugowaard in North Holland and describes its job as connecting supply and demand for used cars. Its own figures: around six thousand inspected quality vehicles on the platform at a time, and more than thirty years of experience supporting the used car trade.

What you can buy

• Inspected used cars, the bulk of the platform.
• Vans and light commercials.
• Electric and hybrid vehicles.

How the bidding works

The platform combines an online auction with straightforward trading, and registration is free. Its stated promise is risk-free trading with no hidden costs, worldwide — a claim worth testing against the fee schedule for the specific sale you enter. The interface runs in thirteen languages, which indicates where its buyers are.

What to check before you bid

"Inspected" is the platform's central claim and the inspection report is what you are relying on if you bid from another country — read it in full rather than the summary grade. Establish the total landed cost before bidding: transport out of the Netherlands and the VAT position on a cross-border wholesale purchase are where these deals succeed or fail.
