How do I place a bid in the live auction?

To place bids for vehicles in Motorway’s live auction go to the full vehicle profile, enter your maximum bid in the window on the right-hand side of the screen, and click Submit bid.

Your bid should be your best and final bid as our proxy bidding system ensures you pay just £1 more than the second-highest bid. This ensures that dealers don’t overpay, and sellers still get a competitive price.

If your bid is too far below the guide price, you will see an error message giving you the minimum possible amount to bid. Once you’ve made your offer, you’ll see it displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

You’ll see bids categorised within the Active section until the sale is over after which it will either move to Under Offer, Purchased or Didn't Win depending on the outcome of the sale.
