Manheim España

Manheim's Spanish arm runs three sale channels rather than one, and it makes the distinction the centrepiece of its offer: physical auctions in the room, online auctions, and a Real Time Market Place — simultaneous online sales running across several platforms at once, so the same vehicle is exposed to more than one buyer pool at the same moment.

What you can buy

• Used cars from fleets, leasing companies and dealers.
• Vans and light commercials.
• Electric and hybrid vehicles.

How the bidding works

A published auction calendar sets out what is running where, and the vehicle search filters by country, sale type, make, model, mileage and age. The site also offers Market Lens, the group's valuation data product, alongside the sales.

What to check before you bid

Access is for professionals — the site states it plainly and requires a login before you can take part in a sale. Note the country filter in the search: Manheim's Spanish platform carries stock located outside Spain as well, and that changes both the transport cost and the VAT position. Read the buying costs before your first sale.
