RAW2K

RAW2K runs online vehicle auctions across the UK with a rolling calendar — the site is organised around auctions ending today, tomorrow and on each named weekday, so there is always something closing. A large share of the stock is salvage and damaged vehicles, which is the trade this platform is best known for, alongside ordinary used cars and vans.

What you can buy

• Cars and vans: the bulk of the catalogue, browsable by manufacturer — Audi, BMW, Ford, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Seat, Nissan and others each have their own auction pages.
• Bikes and quads: motorcycles and ATVs.
• HGVs and caravans: heavy commercials and leisure vehicles.
• Plant and machinery: a smaller stream alongside the vehicles.

How the bidding works

Auctions are timed and end on a published day and time; the navigation is built around those end dates, which makes it easy to see what closes when. Featured auctions are highlighted separately. Register before bidding.

What to check before you bid

Salvage buying has its own rules and they matter more than the price. Listings flag documentation status — a vehicle marked as having no V5 registration document is a different proposition from one with paperwork, and re-registering it is your problem. Check the recorded mileage, the damage category and whether the vehicle is being sold for repair, for parts or as scrap, because those determine what you may legally do with it afterwards. Vehicles are held at yards around the country rather than at one site, so confirm the collection location and deadline before bidding — and budget for transport, since a salvage vehicle frequently cannot be driven away.
