Good
Condition
The auction features vehicles in various conditions, typically categorized as Run & Drive Verified, Vehicle Starts, and Cannot Start. We highly recommend choosing vehicles with a Run & Drive Verified status. However, if you have experience in repairing vehicles with more significant damage, you may consider exploring all available options.
Good
Mileage
Cars with mileage below 100,000 km are typically in good technical condition, with minimal wear on critical components like the engine and transmission. Choosing a vehicle with lower mileage can help you avoid major repairs and reduce future maintenance costs.

Primary Damage
Some cars at auctions have damage statuses that indicate more serious or potentially hazardous issues. In such cases, there may be hidden risks related to safety or the structural integrity of the vehicle. When considering such options, it is essential to exercise caution and thoroughly assess potential repair costs. We strongly recommend obtaining a detailed condition report on the vehicle or contacting Autoplatforma specialists for consultation to evaluate all potential risks before purchasing.
