How It Works

Below is a simple overview of how the Autoport process works:

1	Sellers load vehicles into Autoport.net with an FOB price. This can be done either using our web based management system or vehicle data can be received in electronic format as an export from any client end stock management system.
2	Buyers then search for stock on Autoport.net. We also send out automated emails of stock recently added, pre-saved searches to buyers who have chosen to set them up and results of vehicle wanted listings. All of these can be easily managed and turned off and on.
3	A Buyer will negotiate the price with a Seller using the Offer and Counter Offer process or agrees to the Seller's asking price by selecting the Buy Now option.
4	Once a price has been arrived at, the buyer is invoiced and is required to pay the amount in full to Autoport. Once received, the Seller is notified that Autoport has the full amount of the FOB price of the vehicle. Japan Selling Process: The vehicle is then sent to port where it is booked for shipping to the Buyer's country. Once the vehicle is on board the ship, full payment is made from Autoport to the Seller. UK Selling Process: The vehicle is then inspected on the Seller's yard by an independent vehicle inspection company to verify that the vehicle condition is as was advertised. Once the inspection process is complete the vehicle is purchased, VAT inclusive, by our Autoport UK office who then takes possession of the vehicle for delivery to the Buyer's country.
