Marco P

I am very fortunate to have had a great experience with BaT. Onboarding was efficient and intuitive and all the reps I worked with were helpful and responsive. To boot, my car sold and the buyer promptly paid and arranged for shipping. Grateful to have been a part of BaT’s listings after so many years of following and enjoying this marketplace.
Kudos and thanks.

I recently sold my restored 1965 356 Porsche 356C coupe on Bring A Trailer. The process on Bring A Trailer went smoothly, they assign you a specialist to help you to describe your vehicle so you receive more bids and the best price. I was well pleased with the help and the amount I received for my car.

My Auction Specialist was Dan Chapman. This was my first experience with BAT. Dan coordinated the photographer and writing the listing. He was understanding with my edits and adding other material. During the auction, we had several requests for videos and information. Dan worked with me and we got everything requested added. Result was higher than expected. I have several collectible vehicles (cars, Jeeps and motorcycles) and I’m confident I’ll use BAT the next time.

This by far the best platform to buy or sell a vintage vehicle. I had no idea how much my 65 VW was worth. BaT has an easy to follow checklist to submit, from detailed photos to specific descriptions unique to your vehicle. All of these details provide prospective buyers full disclosure, so they can feel confident in their purchase. They even provide guidance for a smooth transaction and shipping if needed. I will definitely work with them again for any vintage vehicle sale or purchase.

Car auctions the way they should be.

BaT Auctions offer greater transparency, more comprehensive listings, fairer fees, and a larger buyer pool when compared to traditional auctions or competing online platforms. We curate an eclectic range of vehicles in addition to parts and automobilia—anything interesting is welcome here, from inexpensive project cars to multi-million-dollar collector pieces. You can expect to see interesting cars, trucks, service vehicles, racers, motorcycles, boats, and even the occasional tank or airplane!

Every listing benefits from an open comments section populated by an engaged and knowledgeable audience. Here is the place where experts weigh in, bidders and sellers interact, and lively discussions take place–all in service of instilling confidence in bidders.

All auction results are published in a comprehensive, searchable database that’s visible to everyone for all time–nothing is glossed over or hidden from public view.

Cool DeLorean Man!
