Exciting things are happening at OPENLANE. Our UK auction platform OPENLANE UPSTREAM integrates with openlane.eu, the online auction website for the car trade in Europe. That means our range of cars in auction will only be visible on openlane.eu from January 16th 2023.
As well as OPENLANE UPSTREAM, we are also consolidating our German platform OPENLANE GWListe into one European platform.
Why are we making this change?
In short, to make your life easier, whether you’re buying or selling. Our integrated European platform openlane.eu will provide an easy, fast and hassle-free experience for both buyers and sellers who will gain access to proven technology and applications already largely enjoyed by OPENLANE Europe customers.
What are the 4 main advantages you have as a seller?
1. Fully managed sales service; You’ll receive the same high-quality sales service you’ve come to expect from OPENLANE.
2. Comfort and ease; Our intuitive, user-friendly platform makes arranging and managing sales a piece of cake. Our personalised vehicle recommendations put your auctions in front of the UK buyers who are looking for them, leading to faster and more lucrative sales.
3. Best possible prices; With a huge UK buyer audience, you attract the best prices out there.
4. OPENLANE is ‘always on’; You can sell at a fast pace 24/7 from any device via our mobile-friendly website. It takes less time than ever for your auctions to become active, and your sales are advertised for longer.
