Major Announcement | China Auto Export Auction Kicks Off on August 18; Global Buyers Gather in Guangzhou to Select Vehicles
Following the successful conclusion of the Africa-exclusive pickup event which generated a significant volume of overseas purchase inquiries, China (Guangzhou) Automobile Export Wholesale Base (PT CAR Wholesale) is launching another major trade event–the China Auto Export Auction. Scheduled to commence at 17:30 on August 18, 2026, the event invites automotive buyers from around the world to inspect, select, and bid on vehicles, enabling a streamlined one-stop bulk purchasing experience.
This auction caters to overseas bulk buyers and features a comprehensive vehicle lineup, including new energy vehicles, fuel-powered sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial transport vehicles. A wide array of mainstream domestic and international brands will be showcased, including BYD, Toyota, Nissan, Great Wall, Jetour, Li Auto, Zeekr, Hongqi, Xiaomi Auto, Fang Cheng Bao, Changan, Geely, Haval, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Avatr, Lynk & Co, and GAC Trumpchi. The event offers direct supply from multiple brands and supports bulk export. Attendees can inspect vehicles, conduct test drives, and engage in on-site price negotiation and bidding, ensuring a highly efficient and transparent purchasing process.
How Does the Auction Process Work?
This auction employs a combined model of on-site vehicle inspection, live bidding, and on-site negotiation, featuring a clear and fast-paced process:
Step 1: On-site Vehicle Inspection
Attendees are free to inspect all vehicles in the display area, examine them in person, and compare models. Staff members accompany attendees throughout, providing detailed explanations of vehicle conditions, specifications, and export suitability to help buyers quickly identify their target models.
Step 2: Collecting Bidding Paddles
Interested buyers register with valid identification to collect their bidding paddles and enter the waiting area.
Step 3: Live Bidding
The auctioneer introduces each vehicle and its starting price; buyers place bids by raising their paddles, and the highest bidder wins.
Step 4: On-site Negotiation
Buyers who do not secure a vehicle during the auction can engage in one-on-one negotiations with the sales team to explore flexible transaction options. Bulk purchasers may benefit from additional room for price negotiation.
Step 5: Contract Signing and Finalization
Contracts are signed and deposits paid on-site immediately after a successful bid. A finance team is present to facilitate various payment methods–such as POS card payments and corporate bank transfers–ensuring transactions are efficient, secure, and compliant.
