Can I still buy a Buy-Now vehicle directly after placing a bid?

Yes. With a Buy-Now vehicle, you can still buy the vehicle directly at the Buy-Now price after placing a bid, as long as the vehicle is still available.

With a Buy-Now vehicle, you therefore have two options:

  • Place a bid and wait for the seller's decision.

  • Buy the vehicle directly at the set Buy-Now price.

How does buying directly after placing a bid work?

Have you already placed a bid but would prefer to buy the vehicle directly? You can do so as long as the Buy-Now option is still available.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the relevant vehicle file.

  2. Check whether the Buy-Now option is still available.

  3. Select Buy now.

  4. Check the purchase details.

  5. Confirm the purchase.

After confirmation, the vehicle will be assigned to you and the next steps in the purchase process will begin.

When can I no longer buy the vehicle directly?

The Buy-Now option is no longer available when the vehicle, for example:

  • Has already been purchased directly by another buyer.

  • Is no longer available for sale.

  • Has been removed by the seller.

If the Buy-Now option is no longer available, your existing bid may still be considered by the seller.

What should I pay attention to?

Before purchasing the vehicle, always check:

  • The vehicle details.

  • The photos and any damage.

  • The available documents.

  • Any transport costs.

  • The other information in the vehicle file.

Even when buying a vehicle directly, it is important to review the vehicle carefully beforehand.

Tip

Would you like to purchase a vehicle directly? Check whether the Buy-Now option is still available. This allows you to purchase the vehicle directly at the set price without waiting for the seller to make a decision on your bid.
