No! Submitting a car is absolutely free.

We look for what we call “enthusiast” cars. Our definition of enthusiasts’ cars ranges from the obvious high end performance cars to sports cars such as the Mazda MX5 or Porsche Boxster, classics such as the Jaguar XJS or  Saab 99 Turbo to young-timers such as the Ford Escort RS Turbo or a Lexus LS400 all the way to weird fun cars such as a Suzuki Jimny or a Daihatsu Copen.   All cars are varied, and there is a range of factors we look at from the engine, condition and mileage even to its colour. So to be sure just send it in! We like looking at cars and it’s free. Even if the car does not get accepted, we’ll try to give you some feedback on the best way to sell your pride and joy. 

Yes, we accept modified cars. Just make sure you provide us with an accurate list of modifications and whether the car is road legal or not.

You do not, however, it is highly recommended that you have a professional take photos of your car since quality pictures guarantee a higher sale price. Furthermore if the pictures are below a certain quality we will not be able to list your car on the site. 

Absolutely, we encourage you to do a walkaround video of the car and show the engine running. We will provide you with a specific guide when we reach out to you for more information. 

Getting a promo boost showcases your car on the front page and it will be showcased at the top of the upcoming auctions page. 

If you tick the option, we have the possibility to advertise your car in the top automotive web platform and magazine in Estonia. This will mean writing a story about your car which will get published in these outlets in front of their thousands of subscribers. 

There is also an option for extra social media marketing utilizing Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. If you have us take the photography set for the listing we can also promote your car through the social media of the top Estonian automotive photographers. 

Currently we only focus on cars within Estonia, we may look at cars in the Baltics and Scandinavia in the future so do check back. 

Use the contact form under the Sell a Car tab. This will ask you for your contact information as well as important information about the car such as make, model, year, condition, your license plate (if the car is not registered your VIN number). You should also upload some pictures of the car and you can write a brief description (engine, gearbox etc). If we accept your car we’ll get back to you with a more detailed set of questions so we can create an accurate listing and you’ll pay the listing fee. 

After you have provided us with all the details we need to create a quality listing, our team will write the description based on the information provided. Don’t worry, we work with you throughout the process in order to create the most accurate and transparent listing possible and nothing will get posted without your approval. 

We are flexible, so we work with your schedule to find the best suitable time to start the auction. Before the start of the auction your car will be in the upcoming auctions tab where interested parties can familiarize themselves with the vehicle. 

Our auctions last for 7 days, however the exact length can fluctuate. This is because within the last minute of the auction each bid will reset the clock to one minute remaining. The auction will end after no more bids come through within the one minute window. 

You’ll be in touch with us throughout the duration of the auction. If you want to clarify something or add additional information you can let us know and we can make the change. You can also answer questions and add information on the discussions page yourself. 

A reserve price is the minimum price you are willing to sell the car for. If this price is not met then the car will not be sold. This price is unknown to buyers during the auction. 

A no reserve price auction means that the car will sell for the highest bid.

If you choose a reserve auction we will ask you for a reserve price. We may ask you to lower the price before we are willing to put it up for auction. If you don’t wish to lower it, no bad blood, that’s completely fine and you are welcome to sell the car somewhere else. 

If you choose a no reserve auction our listing fee drops from €35 to €25.

If you want to lower your reserve during the auction please do let us know and we will make the change. The reserve price can only be lowered not raised. 

Always keep your reserve price to yourself. Never disclose your reserve price in any of the forums. Revealing the reserve price will most definitely slow down the auction and result in a lower sale price. 

No – cars listed on auction can only be sold through Autoportree. If a buyer or seller attempts to make a deal to undermine the auction this will result in a permanent ban from the site and a penalty fee for the seller. 

If your reserve isn’t met we’ll first try to work out a deal between you and the highest bidder. If that doesn’t work out your car will be listed on the Drive Away section for direct sales with the reserve price. 

After the auction is over the completion of the transaction is between the buyer and seller. We will give out your contact information to the buyer and vice versa and you can work out the details of the transaction via email or telephone. 

Make sure you gather up all the documentation you have on the car – service history, documents proving legal acquisition of the vehicle, registration certificate and other necessary legal documents. Unless you have a cool off roader and you want a picture of it hooning around in the mud, pictures of dirty cars do not sell. Clean the car both on the inside and out and if possible under the bonnet. A clean car makes for a much nicer listing!  Also, if possible, getting a fresh TÜV (roadworthiness test) will help with the sale. 

There are a couple of reasonable rules when it comes to listing your car on other platforms.

• If you list your car on the Drive Away section you may list the car on other platforms, however you shouldn’t use our listing format or text. You may of course use the pictures you have provided or purchased from us.
• If your car is on auction you may only list the car on other platforms in order to promote the auction on Autoportree. No outside deals should be done and doing so will result in a penalty fee as well as getting banned from using our services. We do this to provide a fair and safe auction environment for our bidders.
