Over the years, the number of auctions of cars is growing worldwide. Classically, auctions of cars were held with physical presence of buyers. Hours before an auction, interested buyers themselves could examine the cars and make a purchase decision. However, car auctions have changed significantly in recent years. Especially due to the advancing digitalization, there is a large selection of different online auction platforms. The online auctions of cars have both advantages and disadvantages. Whereas before you could check the condition of the vehicle yourself, at an online auction you have to trust the seller and the information provided. CarOnSale offers complete transparency of the condition with its in-house professional evaluators. The advantages of online auctions of cars are many. The first advantage is the extended offer, which for some platforms covers the whole of Europe. Another advantage is the simple search functions, through which you can always find the right vehicles. It is only important to choose the right platform. It is distinguished between   B2B platforms, on which only dealers act, and platforms that are open to private buyers.
