* When your car is bid for more than the initial sold amount, we will payout the difference amount on the next day.

In the event that the bid is lower than the initial offer price, you will keep the full amount.

Here's why you can get more from selling your car through our auction bidding platform!

Traditional Car
Sales Process

Car dealers will quote a higher valuation at the beginning. This valuation may decrease, with no upfront transparency.

Dickson
Auction Process

We will offer a guaranteed market price before the auction.

This market price will not change.

This means your car will definitely be sold at the agreed market price or higher on our auction platform.

Example Scenario

Mr Tan has agreed to sell his car to us at $100,000 and join the live auction for a potentially higher selling price. This is what will happen next.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

Below is the process to sell your car through Dickson Group:

Step 1: Submit your car information and contact us via the online form (embedded link).

Step 2: We will provide you the recommended market price of your car within 24 hours. If you accept this market price quoted, Dickson will offer to purchase this car from you after you drive your car to us for viewing. This market price will also be the minimum selling price when your car is placed on Dickson’s live electronic auction platform to try for a higher selling price.

Step 3: Upon your acceptance to sell your car to Dickson at the quoted market price, we will pay you a deposit first. Based on the agreed delivery date, you can drive the car to us, for a 38-point vehicle check, and get your car washed, cleaned and sanitised. This is to better enhance the resale value for your car during auction. We will pay you the balance of the agreed market price and help you settle any outstanding loan, upon successful transfer of the car ownership to Dickson.

Step 4: Your car will be displayed for potential bidders (over 100 potential Car Dealers) to view, and go through Singapore’s first electronic live vehicle auction platform for bidding. 

Step 5: Upon successful bid, you will receive the difference between the higher bid price and market price in payment from Dickson.

Our Auction is great for individual car owners who like to sell their vehicle at the highest possible price in the market.

These are the benefits you will enjoy when you sell your car through Dickson Group:

  • We offer the first electronic live vehicle auction in Singapore. Each car auction will commence and complete in 60 seconds, promoting fairness and transparency.
  • We are the first in the industry to purchase your car at a recommended market price quoted by Dickson and also provide an opportunity to get a potentially higher selling price via the Auction if the bid price exceeds the market price.
  • We enhance your car’s resale price through Dickson Auto Care Centre (In-house Workshop) with a comprehensive 38-point vehicle inspection, washing, cleaning and sanitising before displaying the car to potential bidders.
  • We offer convenient one-stop financing solutions for both buyers and sellers.

Market price is the selling price recommended by Dickson based on current market transactions, to set as a minimum selling price when your vehicle is put up for auction. In the live auction, the bid price is generally higher than the market price, for popular car makes and models that are of acceptable car condition.

Our valuation is based on our 30+ years’ experience in used car trading market, with consideration of the following factors such as the registration date of the vehicle, mileage used, and car conditions (i.e. history of accident), including references from other relevant vehicle trading sources.

Dickson Group will offer to buy your car at market price. If you accept this market price, you will receive payment in 3 parts:

  1. A deposit when you accept Dickson’s offer and sign the sale and purchase agreement
  2. A balance payment of the market price less deposit when you hand over the car with the car ownership transferred to Dickson
  3. A potential additional payment of the difference, if the successful bid price during the auction is higher than the market price paid

Yes, you definitely can use this Auction Platform. If you intend to book a new car, Dickson will offer to purchase your existing car at market price based on the estimated new car delivery date and the hand over date for your existing car.

In addition, Dickson can also help you with your booking fees and balance payment for your new car registration up to the agreed market price of your existing car.

You can hand over your car to Dickson after the delivery of your new car on the same day. In short, you will enjoy the convenience of one-to one-exchange of your existing car to the new car.

This car will subsequently be placed on Dickson’s Live Auction to try for a higher selling price. This means that, you have sold your car to Dickson at market price and still enjoy a potential payment of the difference if the successful bid price during the auction is higher than the market price quoted.

Dickson Group will conduct the bidding process of your car for a fee of $68 (before GST). This fee is inclusive of the 38-point vehicle inspection, washing, sanitising and cleaning of your vehicle to enhance the resale value, before displaying your vehicle to potential bidders (car dealers) for live viewing.

Dickson Group’s in-house workshop (Dickson Auto Care Centre), with its proven inspection expertise, will ensure your car is inspected and reported fairly. This is to prevent the buyer from raising a dispute on the car condition later and requesting a further discount to the bid price.

Dickson Group will handle all the paperwork, including your loan settlement and vehicle ownership transfer.

Yes, we have a viewing room for sellers who are keen to view the bidding of their own car.

Individual Car Owner

Dickson Auction platform is only open for B2B (Business to Business).

Individual sellers who likes to sell through the Dickson Auction platform, can consign the vehicle through our subsidiary company Dickson Auto Solution (DAS) or any Dickson’s network of appointed Dealer. DAS will charge a nominal and  reasonable amount for managing  this consignment.

Yes, sellers may attend our live auction platform to watch the live bidding.

When selling your car to Dickson Group, we guarantee it will be sold at Guaranteed Market Price or higher. Therefore, we recommended removing your personal items from your car, for the ease of vehicle handover after the auction.

  1. The owner must personally sign the agreement to accept the Guaranteed Market Price.
  2. Once the agreement is signed, the owner may authorize someone to send the vehicle to Dickson Group.
