Buy at European auctions for a fixed €500 fee
Buying cars to resell or repair? Our fee is fixed, so the profit stays with you. You see the same auction prices and invoices we do. It works just as well if you're looking for a car for yourself.
- €500
- fixed fee, not a percentage
- 0%
- markup on the auction price
- EU
- no ship, no import duty
Who it's for
To resell
The fee doesn't grow with the car's price, so it doesn't eat into your margin. It's the same for a €10,000 car and a €60,000 one.
To repair
A lightly damaged car costs much less at auction. Before we bid, we assess the damage and estimate the repair cost.
To keep
Want a car at the auction price? We'll find one to your criteria, and you'll see the real price and every invoice.
What the €500 covers
Everything it takes to get a car from the auction to Lithuania.
- Searching European auctions to your criteria
- History check by VIN
- Condition and damage assessment
- A full cost breakdown before we bid
- Bidding up to the price we agree together
- Arranging transport and paperwork
What makes up the final price
- The car
- as on the auction invoice
- Auction fees
- as on the auction invoice
- Transport to Lithuania
- as on the carrier's invoice
- SB Motors service
- €500
We tell you the transport cost before we bid. You pay the €500 fee only once the car is bought.
Why a European auction, not a US one
Many brokers in Lithuania import cars from the US. We buy within the European Union.
No ship
The car comes by car transporter from another EU country. No waiting for a ship, no paying for sea freight and port handling.
No import duty
A car brought in from the US pays 10% customs duty. Buying within the EU, there is none.
We know what to look for
We buy and sell lightly damaged cars ourselves, so assessing damage and repair costs is part of our daily work.
How buying at auction works
- 01
We talk through what you want
A few models that would suit you, year, mileage, budget, and whether a lightly damaged car is an option.
- 02
We search European auctions
We shortlist cars we would happily buy ourselves.
- 03
We send you the numbers
History, photos, damage assessment and every cost up to Lithuania. The decision is yours.
- 04
We sign an agreement
It sets out the maximum price and all the terms. You pay a deposit: if we don't win, we refund it; if we win, it counts towards the car's price.
- 05
We bid at auction
Only up to the maximum price we agree together. If we win, you pay the rest of the auction invoice and our €500 fee.
- 06
We bring it to Lithuania
We arrange transport and sort out the paperwork. If needed, we take care of the repair too.

Questions about buying at auction
How much does your service cost?
A fixed €500 fee, whatever the car costs. On top of that you only pay the real costs: the car and auction fees as on the auction invoice, and transport as on the carrier's invoice.
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
Before we bid, we sign an agreement and you pay a deposit. If we don't win, we refund it; if we win, it counts towards the car's price. You pay the rest and the €500 fee once the car is bought.
Do you work with traders and garages?
Yes. The fee is fixed and doesn't depend on the car's price, so it doesn't eat into your margin. We look for both undamaged and lightly damaged cars.
Will I see the real auction price?
Yes. We show you the auction invoice, so you see the same price we do. Our fee is a fixed €500 and is never hidden in the car's price.
What if the price at auction goes too high?
We only bid up to the maximum price we agree together. If the bidding goes higher, we look for another car.
Why name several models?
At auctions, a specific model with the exact spec you want can take a while to come up. When several models work for you, we find one sooner and can choose on price.
Which auctions do you buy at?
European auctions. The cars are already in the EU, so there's no ship and no import duty.
Can I buy a lightly damaged car?
Yes. We buy and sell damaged cars ourselves, so we assess the damage and estimate the repair cost before we bid. If needed, we take care of the repair.
