Sell a commercial vehicle

For sellers, truckoo is free of charge. There are no listing fees and no sales fees; valuation, marketing and processing are included – even when you accept a bid and sell.

No. You see all the bids side by side and decide freely. The sale only comes about once you accept a bid – and then it is binding, with no renegotiation at the handover.

Trucks, tractor units, vans, semi-trailers, trailers, buses, construction and agricultural machines – from the panel van to the four-axle tipper. Age, mileage and condition rule out no vehicle; they only determine which dealer bids.

Yes. An expired roadworthiness test is no obstacle. You do not have to present the vehicle for testing or repair it; dealers factor the test into their bid and arrange the collection. More on selling without a roadworthiness test.

On the day of handover, by instant bank transfer from truckoo. As soon as the vehicle, keys and documents have been handed over in full, the payment is made. You pay nothing in advance and do not have to chase your money – your contractual partner is truckoo, not the dealer.

Yes. Every bid is binding on the dealer for as long as it is valid. If you accept it, the sale comes about – with no renegotiation, no inspection proviso and no backing out. Until you accept, you yourself are bound by nothing.

Yes. Individual vehicles are listed one after the other. For larger holdings and fleets that are retired on a regular basis there is a dedicated process in which all buyer channels and vehicles are managed centrally – you can find out more under fleet sales.

With a listing, you put the vehicle online and wait for enquiries. You then negotiate price, inspection and processing individually with every interested party, and you never know whether the next caller would have offered more. Via truckoo, verified dealers submit binding bids that you see side by side and choose from. The contractual partner for payment and handover is truckoo, not the buyer.

Yes. Accident damage, engine damage or an expired roadworthiness test are no bar – what matters is that the condition is stated in full in the vehicle details. Dealers and exporters factor the repair or the recovery of parts into their bid; you do not have to repair anything beforehand.

A dealer buys on their own account and resells. You get a price from someone who is at the same time your negotiating partner and who factors in their own margin — and you never find out what someone else would have paid. truckoo does not buy any vehicles itself. Instead, 1,500+ verified dealers from 35+ countries bid at the same time, including those outside your region for whom your vehicle is more interesting because of its body, axle configuration or emissions standard. You see the bids side by side and decide.

The difference lies in the outcome. In a classic auction there is a scheduled event, and at the end the price stands that the bidding produced — even if it is below your expectation. With truckoo there is no obligation to sell to the highest bid: you see the binding bids and decide at your leisure whether to accept one. If you accept none, you incur no costs.

A direct sale can achieve the highest price, but it takes time and carries risks: you conduct the viewings, check the buyer's ability to pay, and in the event of defects you are liable within the scope of what was agreed. Via truckoo you sell to commercial buyers who price in condition and retrofitting requirements. Payment and handover run through truckoo.

A trader quotes you a figure, not the calculation behind it. Whether transport, days in stock, reconditioning and margin are realistically factored into it cannot be verified from the outside — and you only have this one calculation to compare against. Then there is the contract: you conclude it directly with the buyer and bear the payment and processing risk yourself.

Via truckoo, dealers and exporters from 35+ countries bid in parallel, so it becomes visible which market values your vehicle highest. The contractual partner for payment and handover is truckoo — not the dealer who collects the vehicle.

Yes. From three units to be sold onwards we work as a remarketing solution: your own dealer contacts, selected buyers and the truckoo buyer network run in one system, and the appropriate strategy can be chosen for each vehicle. Vehicle listing, marketing, contract and payout stay bundled in one place.

Yes. Returned vehicles can be listed individually or in tranches, with your own dealer contacts or via the truckoo buyer network. Since truckoo is the contractual partner for payment and processing, you do not need individual contracts with the buyers.
