GUTE AUTOS sells damaged vehicles as is, to motor trade professionals only. Each vehicle comes as a file sent by e-mail: photos, damage description, location and a fixed price excluding transport. You pick the vehicles that suit your business, we confirm the sale, you pay and collect.
What we sell, and to whom
We offer accident-damaged and salvage vehicles sourced mainly from specialist dealers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other European countries. GUTE AUTOS is a brand of ELEKO SARL, a French company based in Paris.
Our buyers are trade professionals: body shops, used car dealers, garages and repair workshops, dismantlers and parts recyclers, and exporters. We do not sell to private individuals.
We never repair. Every vehicle leaves exactly as described in its file.
How it works, in four steps
- Free sign-up. Give your company name, your trade, your business e-mail and the vehicle categories you want.
- Vehicle files by e-mail. As soon as a vehicle goes on sale, you receive its file: photos, make, model, engine, year, mileage, damage, runner or non-runner status, available documents, location and fixed price.
- You commit at the stated price. From the link in the file or by replying to the e-mail. GUTE AUTOS then confirms the sale. Until we confirm, the sale is not concluded.
- Payment, then collection. The full price is paid before collection. You collect the vehicle where it stands, yourself or with the carrier of your choice.
Full details are on the how it works page.

Frequently asked questions
Who can buy from GUTE AUTOS?
Motor trade professionals only: body shops, garages, used car dealers, dismantlers, recyclers and exporters. We do not sell to private individuals.
How much does it cost to sign up?
Nothing. Sign-up is free and without commitment. You only pay if you buy a vehicle.
Are the vehicles repaired before sale?
No, never. All vehicles are sold as is, with no guarantee that they can be repaired or put back on the road. Repair, and the cost of repair, are entirely the buyer's responsibility.
Is transport included?
No. Prices exclude transport. You collect the vehicle from the yard where it stands. For a non-runner, plan a suitable recovery truck.
What about VAT and registration?
The applicable VAT treatment depends on the vehicle and on your situation; it is shown on the invoice issued by ELEKO SARL. Vehicles may carry a French status (VEI, VGE) or a status from their country of origin. You must check the registration, import and roadworthiness rules of your own country.
