    Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to sell if the offer is low?

    No, if the final price is below your reserve. If the reserve is met, the sale is certain.

    What does the reserve price mean?

    If the reserve is met, the highest bidder gets the vehicle. If not, the seller decides within 48 hours.

    Can I sell a car the insurer has paid out for?

    Yes, if the vehicle is registered in your name. If the insurer has taken over the vehicle, the insurer sells it.

    Where is the vehicle during the auction?

    With you. Buyers book a viewing through us; we do not put your phone number in the listing.

    How does the payment work?

    The buyer pays before collecting the vehicle. We agree the exact steps with you before the auction starts.

    How is ownership transferred?

    Seller and buyer register the change of owner in the Transport Administration e-service. The buyer pays the €71 state fee. We can help if needed.

    Is there a registration fee or car tax?

    The buyer pays the registration fee at the change of owner if it has not been paid for this vehicle before. The amount depends on CO₂ and mass; the vehicle page shows whether it has been paid. The annual tax is paid by whoever owned the vehicle on 1 January; the buyer pays it from the following year.

    Can private persons buy?

    Yes. Private persons and companies can take part, also from abroad.

    Damaged car auctions in Estonia

    Avariilised Sõidukid is where you sell and buy damaged, repairable and non-running cars across Estonia. Every vehicle has photos, a damage diagram and details, so buyers know what they are bidding on.

    Sell a damaged car

    If repairing the car does not pay off, you can sell it at auction. You add the vehicle yourself, set a starting price and a minimum price and choose an auction length of 3–14 days. If the bid stays below your minimum, you do not have to sell. The car stays with you during the auction.

    Buy a car that needs repair

    A damaged car is an affordable way to get a vehicle to repair, use for parts or resell. Check the photos and damage and place a bid. If you set a maximum, the system bids for you up to that limit. The buyer fee is 6% of the final price, at least €100.

    If the vehicle does not move

    Non-running and long-parked cars and vehicles with engine or gearbox faults are welcome too. If the vehicle does not move, we arrange transport and tell you the price first.

    Avariilised Sõidukid is an independent platform of SOBO OPERATIONS OÜ.
