Car Manufacturer Sales Car manufacturers place vehicles into auction to feed stock to their dealer network and to release funds on ex-demo and management vehicles. The stock on offer is usually three years old and comes with good mileage. Some manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz have their own Approved Used Car and Wholesale Verified standards, meaning that vehicles are ready to be retailed, or have been reconditioned to a minimum standard. These programmes also include items such as the number of keys and the vehicle documentation being available to the buyer. We hold Manufacturer Sales are held across our group all week, for the full schedule, visit our auction schedules page here. Centre For A Day Sales Sometimes, some of our vendors will want to increase their sales programme with us and benefit from having the auction centre to themselves for an entire day. These days are referred to as Centre For A Day Sales and they usually see over 120 vehicles being offered from one vendor with the possibility of selected products from one or two others with whom the primary vendor has a relationship. These sales attract a dedicated buyer following for the particular vendor either due to the stock on offer matching their own stock profile, or because, in the case of a Manufacturer Centre For A Day, they are members of the Franchised Network looking to source stock from the vehicle manufacturer. Our Centre for a Day Sales are held across our group, for the full schedule, visit our auction schedules page here.
