FAQ
Will potential bidders want to come and view my car?
Route 66 Auctions is an online marketplace, and we aim to provide bidders with sufficient information and high-quality photographs to make informed decisions. However, since all bids are legally binding, some buyers may feel more comfortable placing a bid after seeing the vehicle in person. Viewings can significantly increase the likelihood of a successful sale, so we encourage you to be open to them. We are happy to help arrange viewings at a time that works for both you and the potential buyer.
What if buyers have more questions?
Buyers can reach out to the Route 66 Auctions team through your listing. Our team will do their best to answer any questions using the information you provided. If there are any questions we can’t answer or if a buyer wishes to arrange a viewing, we will contact you directly.
What happens after my vehicle sells?
When your vehicle sells, we’ll notify you via email of the successful sale. The buyer will receive instructions to transfer the funds to our secure account via bank transfer. Our team will coordinate with the buyer to ensure the payment is made promptly and will keep you updated throughout the process. The buyer has 48 hours to make the payment into our secure bank account and another full week to make the rest payment.
Once the payment clears, we’ll share your contact details with the buyer and vice versa. You and the buyer can then arrange the collection of the car, either in person or via a transport company, whichever is most convenient for both parties.
When you’re ready to hand over the keys, you will confirm handover has taken place by sending an e-mail to confirmation@route66auctions.com. Please mention your full name, address and the car in your e-mail. We will contact the buyer to get confirmation from his side he has received the car and after his confirmation payment will be made within 5 business days to your bank account.
Can I choose when my auction listing goes live?
We’ll aim to list your auction as soon as possible. We carefully curate our schedule to avoid overlapping auctions. If you prefer your auction to run at a specific time, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
Can I use Route 66 Auctions to sell a car if I’m located outside the Netherlands?
Yes! Route 66 Auctions can auction vehicles worldwide. Please bear in mind that buyers and sellers are responsible for the collection or transfer of the vehicle.
How long does an auction last?
An auction lasts 14 days. Your auction listing will have a set end date and time as well as a countdown timer.
Who writes the auction listing?
We have an in-house team of professional writers and classic vehicle experts who can craft your auction listing for you.
To create an accurate and engaging vehicle description, we’ll need as much information as possible. We’ll provide you with a list of questions. The more details you can give us, the more detailed and compelling your auction listing will be.
I’m having trouble uploading photos with my submission. Can you help?
Yes of course, please contact the Route 66 Auctions team and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
How do I take great photos for my listing?
Listings with plenty of high-quality photos tend to perform better. We recommend uploading as many photos as possible to provide potential buyers with a detailed and honest view of your vehicle. It is very important to stick to the guidelines for the photos. For tips on how to take great photos and a list of the shots we recommend, please read our photography guide here:
