How to Send a Vehicle to Auction

Vehicles must have a Ready to Launch status before they can be sent to auction.

Steps

  1. From the top navigation, select My ACV, then Saved.
  2. Find the vehicle you want to list. Confirm it shows a Ready to Launch status.
  3. Select Send To Auction.
  4. Set your reserve price (the minimum amount you will accept for the vehicle).
  5. Choose your auction type:
  • Live Auction (Ready to Sell) – 20-minute live auction with your reserve.
  • Live Appraisal – buyers bid and you decide within 3 days whether to accept the highest bid.
  • No Reserve – vehicle sells to the highest bidder with no minimum.
  1. Confirm your listing details and submit.

What to expect

After submitting, your vehicle will be scheduled and appear in My ACV > Active > Selling once the auction goes live. You will receive notifications when bids are placed and when the auction ends.

Troubleshooting

Send To Auction is not available. The vehicle may not yet have a Ready to Launch status. Confirm the inspection has been completed and the condition report has been published.
