If you’re not ready to register immediately, that’s fine – you can always do it later. When you find a car you’re interested in bidding on, simply click “Place Bid” on the car’s listing page. At this point, you’ll be asked to register, which includes providing your credit card information. We temporarily hold the buyer’s fee on each bidder’s credit card until the auction ends.

Yes! You are required to pay the full amount for the vehicle immediately after the auction concludes, just like every other buyer. Additionally, you are solely responsible for all logistics, including import fees, transportation, legal dues, and any other requirements necessary for exporting and importing the vehicle. It’s crucial to be fully informed about all these regulations and have everything arranged before you start bidding. The end of the auction is not the appropriate time to start looking into transportation logistics and import regulations.
How do I contact a seller privately?

How can I tell if a car was inspected?
All vehicles on Prixvo are inspected by BeSoji. On the listing page, you can find a link to access the inspection report.
What is covered in an inspection?
Are inspected cars test driven?
Inspectors will conduct a test drive of the vehicle provided it’s street-legal, safe to drive, and the seller permits the test drive. However, there are situations where an inspector might not be able to test drive a vehicle, possibly due to its size or potential liability concerns. In such cases, the vehicle may be test driven by the seller or a representative of the seller.
Is there proxy bidding?
Proxy bidding is allowed on Prixvo. Simply set your maximum bid value and click ‘Maximum Bid’. Our system will automatically place the next bid for you until we reach your set maximum amount.
Why do you place a hold on my credit card when I bid?
When you place a bid, we temporarily hold an amount on your credit card. This is to account for the potential buyer’s fee you would need to pay if you become the winning bidder. The hold is set at 5% of your initial bid amount (fee percentage decreases with auction price), with a minimum of 1000 AED. If you do not win the auction, this hold will be released from your credit card once the auction concludes.
I didn’t win the auction, why do I still have a hold from Prixvo?
Holds on the credit cards of non-winning bidders are canceled right after the auction ends. However, depending on your bank, it might take a few days, and in rare instances, up to 7 business days, for this cancellation to be reflected in your account. For any queries about the timeline or the process, please reach out directly to your card issuer.
What’s the reserve price of the car I want to buy?
If a listing does not have a reserve, you will see a ‘No Reserve’ tag as well as text near the bidding box. If you don’t see this, there is a reserve price on the auction. These prices are not published, and we ask the seller to not share this price until the auction is complete. As a buyer you will only be made aware of the reserve price once the auction is complete. The seller also has the ability to lower the reserve price and our team will notify bidders in the comments section if this is the case.
What if the reserve isn’t met?
If you are the highest bidder on a car and the reserve price is not met, we will collaborate with both you and the seller to negotiate a mutually agreeable sale price. Should an agreement be reached, we will facilitate contact between you and the seller, and in such cases, our fee is reduced to 2.5% (up to 365,000 AED).
It’s important to note that only the highest bidder is eligible to negotiate a post-auction deal. We recommend bidding as high as you are comfortable with during the auction, this is the best chance at winning.
Once the auction is over, how do I complete the transaction?
At the conclusion of the auction, both the buyer and seller are given each other’s contact information to complete the transaction. Read more about Finalizing the Transaction above.
How do I arrange financing?
At this time Prixvo does not offer financing. We are hoping to bring this feature to the platform soon!
How do I pick up the vehicle?
Transportation expenses are the buyer’s responsibility, we advise estimating personal travel or shipping costs prior to bidding. You have several options for collecting your new vehicle, like flying one-way and driving it back, or using a trailer for pickup. However, shipping is often recommended as a convenient and sometimes the more cost-effective method.
You can work with our team to get shipping quotes on most vehicles and winning bidders frequently have the option to arrange shipping directly through Prixvo’s Shipping service.
If quotes or booking through Prixvo’s Shipping is not an option, you can reach out to our shipping team directly at shipping@prixvo.com or ?+971 50 789 1564? a quote.
Please ensure the seller’s timeline aligns with yours before bidding. Some sellers may agree to temporarily store the vehicle, or even assist in transporting it to a nearby location for shipping. Keep in mind that processes like title transfers and loan payoffs can take some time. When in doubt, communicate with the seller to confirm that the timing is suitable for them.
How do I pay the seller safely?
We suggest using wire transfers or cashier’s checks for payment, though various other options are also available. It’s important to discuss the expected timeline with the seller early on to make sure both parties are comfortable with the process and its timing.
Keep in mind that in some emirates/countries, it can take several weeks to reissue a title after a loan has been paid off. Moreover, certain states require the title to be notarized by the seller before it can be transferred to the new owner, so be mindful of these regulations. You should consult with the RTA website for accurate information regarding these rules before you proceed with sending any important documents.
For more detailed information, you can read about Finalizing the Transaction.
Are there rules to follow in the comments?
Yes! In addition to basic etiquette like refraining from inappropriate language and personal attacks, discussions should primarily focus on the vehicle up for sale. This ensures fairness for both the seller and the bidders. Our goal is to maintain a welcoming and positive environment in the Prixvo community for all enthusiasts. Here are some examples of behaviors that are discouraged and will be moderated:
Using offensive language.
Engaging in personal attacks.

Seller FAQ
How much does it cost to sell a car on Prixvo?
Selling a car is 100% free. The seller receives the complete final sale price.
How do you choose which cars you’re looking for?
Our platform specializes in cool and collector cars, trucks, SUV’s and automobilia. If you have a vehicle that you see as cool, we might be interested in featuring it.
What does “cool” mean? Prixvo’s concept of cool is anything that makes you take a second glance as you drive by it. When parked, you take the extra second to look back and admire. This encompasses a wide range of vehicles. This could include classics such as a ‘97 Land Rover Defender or a ‘60’s Ford Mustang Fastback. This could be a Lamborghini Murcielago or a Ford Raptor R. It could also be a low-mileage, untouched manual Honda Accord. While we don’t accept every vehicle that’s submitted, we’re excited to review your submission to determine if it’s a suitable match for Prixvo.
How do I submit my car for sale?
To submit your car to be featured in a Prixvo Auction, navigate to the “Sell a Car” section in the website header. You will need to provide some key information for us to consider your car to be featured. This includes your: Name, Email, Phone, Car Make & Model, Brief Description, and submitting 6 (minimum) images of your vehicle’s exterior and interior. If it is a match for Prixvo, we will reach out to you, same day. Following that, we’ll request a more comprehensive set of details to ensure that our auction description of your car is precise and thorough.
What information do I need to provide in order to sell my car?
We require only essential information to determine if we’ll accept your car. This includes your: Name, Email, Phone, Car Make & Model, Brief Description, a few photographs, and other relevant information. If your car is accepted based on the required submission details, we’ll then need to collect more comprehensive information. This will involve asking about your history with the car, its features, and other aspects that will assist us in creating a detailed and accurate listing.
How do I take the best pictures of my car?
High-quality photos are critical in ensuring a successful auction. We highly recommend using Prixvo’s contracted, professional photographers to capture your car in the best light possible. This can greatly enhance the appeal of your listing.
Should I take a video?
Absolutely! We’ve found that creating a video that showcases the exterior condition, interior, engine bay and footage of the engine starting and running dramatically boosts interest and enhances buyer confidence. You can split this content into several videos, or compile it all into one.
For the best results, we recommend filming in landscape mode, holding your phone horizontally rather than vertically. Hosting the video on Youtube or Vimeo is a good strategy. If you need a reference, take a look at this example we have provided!
Will the inspector test drive my car?
We highly advise permitting the inspector to test drive your car during the inspection. Inspectors will take the vehicle for a test drive provided it is legally allowed on the street, safe to operate, and you give them permission to do so. However, there may be circumstances where an inspector is unable to test drive a vehicle, possibly due to its size or potential liability concerns. In such scenarios, the vehicle can be test driven by you, the seller, or a representative on your behalf. This step is crucial for a thorough and effective inspection.
Who writes the listing description for my car?
Once you have supplied us with all the relevant details about your car, our team will take on the task of crafting the auction description. We will not publish this description live without first obtaining your approval. Our approach to writing auction descriptions is to keep them straightforward, objective, and concise, emphasizing only the key details that are essential for bidders to make informed decisions. This ensures clarity and efficiency in the auction process.
How do I contact you about my listing?
As soon as you submit your car, you’ll gain the ability to communicate with us directly. We are always available and accessible via our WhatsApp. You can find that link at the footer of our site.
We make it a priority to reply to chat messages promptly, ensuring a response always within one business day. Our goal is to provide quick and efficient communication to assist you throughout the process.
Can I schedule when my car’s auction starts?
While we don’t offer the option to schedule your auction to an exact date, we do consider our sellers’ preferences. If you have a specific start date in mind or if there are certain times when you’d prefer your auction not to be live (like during a vacation or business trip), just let us know. We’ll make every effort to accommodate your needs within the constraints of our auction scheduling.
How long does an auction last?
Every Prixvo auction runs for a duration of seven days, but the exact length can vary slightly. This is due to a feature where, within the final minute of an auction, any new bid placed resets the auction timer back to one minute. This mechanism is designed to emulate the dynamics of a traditional auction, where the bidding goes on until there are no further bids, as opposed to certain online auctions that conclude at a predetermined time, often leading to last-second bidding strategies.
Can I edit my auction once it’s live?
You won’t have the ability to edit your auction directly. However, throughout the duration of your auction, you’ll maintain communication with Prixvo. If there’s a need to modify any aspect of your auction, simply contact us and inform us about the changes you require. Additionally, you have the option to leave comments on your auction, which can include extra photos. Responding to queries from potential bidders is also a great way to enhance the clarity and appeal of your listing.
How do I respond to questions/how should I engage during the auction?
We highly encourage you to actively engage in the comments section of your auction. It’s important to respond to any questions that arise, whether in the comments, the Q&A section of your auction, or through direct inquiries via the Contact Seller feature. Sellers who are actively involved tend to have the most success. Remember, maintaining a positive and constructive tone in your responses can significantly boost confidence among potential bidders.
Consider that the buyer is likely a car enthusiast just like you. Their inquiries are often a sign of serious interest in your vehicle, so addressing their questions thoughtfully can be a key factor in the success of your auction.
Can I put a reserve price on my auction?
Yes, we provide sellers with the option to choose between a “reserve” and a “no reserve” auction. In a “reserve” auction, there’s a minimum price set by the seller, which remains undisclosed to buyers during the auction. Conversely, a “no reserve” auction has no minimum price, meaning the car will be sold to the highest bidder, regardless of the bid amount.
If you opt for a reserve auction, you’ll be asked to suggest a reserve price. However, we might request a lower reserve price before agreeing to list your car for sale. If we’re unable to reach an agreement on the reserve price, there are no hard feelings – you’re always free to sell your car through other channels.
Should you wish to modify your reserve price after the auction has started, you have the flexibility to lower it at any stage of the auction. This can be done by clicking “Actions” and then “Lower reserve” on your auction listing page and entering a new, lower reserve price. Please note that this feature is solely for reducing the reserve price, meaning the new reserve must be less than the current one.
Should I disclose my reserve price?
We advise against disclosing your reserve price, particularly in public areas like the comments or Q&A sections of the auction. Our experience shows that revealing a reserve price tends to inhibit the pace of bidding, especially as the auction approaches or meets that specified value. Keeping the reserve confidential generally fosters a more dynamic and competitive bidding environment.
Who can bid on my car?
Eligible bidders on Prixvo are those who have completed the registration process, which includes having a verified email address and a valid credit card on file. All registered bidders are obligated to pay the full amount within one week of the auction’s closing date.
It’s possible that your buyer could be located outside of the UAE. International buyers, like all other bidders, are required to promptly pay in full for the vehicle following the auction’s conclusion. Additionally, they are solely responsible for all logistics involved in the transaction. This includes import fees, transportation costs, legal dues, and any other requirements necessary for the export or import of the vehicle.
Can I try to make a deal outside of the auction?
No, vehicles listed on Prixvo are exclusively available for sale through our auction platform. Any attempts by a buyer or seller to negotiate a deal outside of the auction process in order to circumvent it will result in a permanent ban from the site. If you are interested in purchasing a car on Prixvo, the most effective approach is to bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay. This strategy is the best way to increase your chances of acquiring the car you desire.
What if my reserve isn’t met?
If your reserve price isn’t met at the end of the auction, we’ll initiate contact between you and the highest bidder to attempt to negotiate a price agreeable to both parties. In the event an agreement is reached, we’ll facilitate direct communication between you and the buyer. Additionally, in such cases, we will reduce our buyer’s fee to 2.5%.
It’s important to note that only the highest bidder is eligible to engage in a post-auction deal. We encourage bidders to place bids as high as they feel comfortable with during the auction. This approach is the most effective way to increase their chances of acquiring the car they’re interested in.
How does the buyer get in contact with me and make payment?
After the auction concludes, the transaction’s completion is the responsibility of both the buyer and the seller. Prixvo facilitates this process by providing each party with the contact information of the other. From there, the buyer and seller can communicate via email or telephone to finalize the transaction. You can find more information about finalizing the transaction on our website.
How do I get paid safely?
As a general guideline, Cars & Bids suggests wire transfers and cashier’s checks as secure methods of payment. However, the choice of payment method can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the transaction. For instance, if the buyer is local, meeting at their local bank branch to obtain a cashier’s check, initiate an electronic money transfer, or withdraw funds directly can be viable options. In any case, it’s essential to exercise due diligence, which may involve verifying a cashier’s check with your bank or waiting until the funds are received before transferring the title. Your safety and security in the transaction process are paramount.
How should I prepare for selling my car?
It’s highly advisable to conduct thorough research on the timeline and procedures for title transfers well in advance of the auction. This preparation ensures that you are fully aware of the appropriate selling process and can efficiently handle the transaction. Additionally, potential buyers may reach out to discuss post-sale arrangements, so open communication and transparency about your expectations are crucial.
What if the winning bidder doesn’t follow through with the purchase?
It’s extremely rare for a winning bidder to not follow through with their purchase on Prixvo. In the unusual event that this occurs, the winning bidder will forfeit their 4.5% buyer’s fee, and they will be permanently banned from using Prixvo.
In the event of a buyer’s failure to follow through, Prixvo will immediately engage with the next-highest bidder(s) to try to sell your vehicle at an agreed-upon price. If a deal cannot be reached, Prixvo may offer to re-list your car free of charge, or we will pay you half of the collected buyer’s fee after a period of 90 days.
How long do you keep past auctions available for review?
Unlike some of our competitors, we make all auctions permanently available for everyone to view, regardless of the auction’s outcome. This transparency is important to us as it helps build trust within the enthusiast community.

Can I ship extra parts with the car?
Yes, you can ship personal items in your car, but it’s important to do so carefully and within certain guidelines. While insurance covers your car during shipping, it typically does not cover personal items or damage resulting from loose cargo inside your car. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that any personal items you pack are securely stored within the vehicle before shipping. If you have extra parts or items that cannot be securely stored inside the vehicle, it’s advisable to ship them separately.
If you have specific questions or concerns about shipping personal items along with your car, you can contact the Prixvo Shipping team at shipping@prixvo.com or on WhatsApp for further guidance and information.
Why do you need my full address to book shipping?
To facilitate the delivery process, our delivery drivers require the exact address where the car will be delivered. Rest assured that we will not share your address outside of our shipping team, and it will be kept confidential.
If you are uncomfortable with providing your personal address and are open to meeting the delivery driver at an alternative location, you can enter the address of a nearby public place where you’re willing to receive the vehicle, such as a grocery store or shopping mall. This can help ensure a smooth and secure delivery process.
Do I have to be there when the car is picked up or dropped off?
It is highly recommended that someone is present both when the car is picked up and when it is dropped off. Our delivery driver will conduct a condition report, including taking photos of the vehicle when it is picked up. This condition report is made available after the vehicle has been delivered.
In the unlikely event that any new damage is discovered, we will initiate a claim and collaborate with you to address the situation appropriately. For more details, you can refer to our Shipping Terms and Conditions.
