FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the vehicle exchange
Which vehicles can I list?
Cars, trucks and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, motorhomes and trailers — especially with accident, hail, fire or engine damage, as well as economic total losses. Roadworthy used vehicles for salvage-value determination are welcome too.
How binding are the bids?
Every bid is binding for 4 weeks (28 calendar days) from the deadline. The award obliges the bidder to collect and pay at the bid price — bidders who fail to do so are suspended.
Who can see my vehicle and the bids?
Only registered, manually verified commercial participants can see the objects. Bids are sealed: no bidder sees the bids of others — the highest bid is only revealed after the deadline.
Is the certificate suitable for my appraisal?
Yes. The PDF salvage-value certificate documents all bids with timestamps and bidder data and is designed as evidence for insurers and courts.
What does the salvage-value determination cost?
For listers, the salvage-value determination costs €15 net per object; registration is free. No fees are charged during the current pilot phase.
