Vehicles as an inspection bay
The lot has to pass papers, condition, mileage, site and pickup before the price means anything.

Which sources to check first
Zoll-Auktion is broad and fast. VEBEG matters for public-sector fleets, municipal equipment and larger vehicle packages. Justiz-Auktion adds movable judiciary and administration goods.
Search current lotsVehicle source switch
Vehicles do not run through one official rail.
- Zoll-Auktion: many individual items, fast online checks, strong pickup focus.
- VEBEG: fleets, special vehicles, federal and municipal equipment, often tender logic.
- Justiz-Auktion: movable vehicles from judiciary, administration, seizure or disposal.
- In-person dates: local lists, short inspection and separate payment/pickup rules.
Five gates before bidding
A vehicle hit becomes interesting only when these points are clear enough.
- Papers: registration documents, inspection, report or missing documents.
- Keys: present, number, remote/code, specialist equipment.
- Roadworthy: battery, storage time, defects, plates, transport route.
- Pickup: deadline, trailer, tow truck, loading help, site hours.
- Payment: source terms, buyer premium or tax note, release after payment.
Translate official wording
The best hits often use words the buyer did not search first.
- ausgesondert: former public-sector use; condition still needs checking.
- sichergestellt or beschlagnahmt: legal origin; papers may be incomplete.
- nicht fahrbereit: do not assume drive-away pickup.
- Ausfuhrgenehmigungspflichtig: treat export permission as a pre-bid blocker.
Vehicle checks
- Check papers, keys, inspection status, mileage and known defects.
- Calculate pickup deadline and transport cost realistically.
- For specialist vehicles, check equipment and registration feasibility.
- Do not anchor only on the opening bid.
