With GUTE AUTOS, you receive files for damaged vehicles by e-mail as soon as they go on sale, sold as is at a fixed price. You commit to the ones that interest you, GUTE AUTOS confirms, you pay and then collect the vehicle. The service is reserved for motor trade professionals.
The current process, step by step
1. You sign up for free
Give your company name, your trade, your business e-mail and the categories you want: cars, vans, motorcycles, motorhomes or trucks. Sign-up is free and without commitment.
2. You receive vehicle files by e-mail
Each vehicle has its own file: photos, identification, damage description, runner or non-runner status, documents available, vehicle location and fixed price. Known defects are stated.
The files are currently written in French. Photos and key figures (year, mileage, price, location) are easy to read, and you can ask any question by e-mail before committing.
3. You commit
The price is fixed: no bidding, no drawn-out haggling. If a vehicle interests you, you commit from the link in the file or by replying to the e-mail. Before that, do your own assessment: parts, labour, resale value or parts value, and the rules of your own country for registering or exporting the vehicle.
4. GUTE AUTOS confirms
We confirm the sale and send you the details for payment and collection. Until the confirmation is sent, the sale is not concluded.
5. You pay
The full price is paid before the vehicle is collected. An invoice is issued by ELEKO SARL in your company's name. The applicable VAT treatment depends on the vehicle and on your situation; it is shown on that invoice.
6. You collect the vehicle
Prices exclude transport. You collect the vehicle from the yard where it stands, yourself or with the carrier of your choice. If the vehicle is a non-runner, plan a suitable recovery truck.
What never changes
- Sold as is. GUTE AUTOS never repairs. The vehicle leaves exactly as described.
- Trade only. We do not sell to private individuals and we do not buy from private individuals.
- No guarantee of repairability. We do not guarantee that a vehicle can be repaired or put back on the road. It is up to you to assess each file.
- Your country's rules. A vehicle may carry a French status (VEI, VGE) or one from its country of origin. Registration, import and roadworthiness depend on the rules of your country: check them before buying.
Coming soon: online trade auctions
GUTE AUTOS is preparing an online auction platform reserved for motor trade professionals. It will complement the fixed-price files.
