Risk free online car auctions. Looks pretty interesting:
www.onlinecarbid.co.za

I'm trying to see what the 'risk free' part is. It appears that even if you win an auction you don't have to buy the car until you've seen it and test driven it.

Looking at those prices, Id say its a gimmick .. I bet you ALWAYS win the auction, they just added the cars with a regular selling price reserve by the looks of things
 
Hi Waaib,

That's right, Online Car Bid allows you to place a bid on a car and walk away if you are unhappy with the car for any reason.
At the end of the auction, the top bid is presented to the seller. If the seller is happy with the offer, they will accept your bid and arrange a test drive with you.
Online Car Bid does not charge the buyer anything to buy a car. There is no admin/handling fee and no commission.

What car are you looking to buy?
 
Online Car Bid

Online Car Bid is the only dedicated car auction website in South Africa. It is not a flea market where you can buy a watch and a garden pot plant at the same time. We specialize in retailing vehicles to all of South Africa and use the auction model to do so.

Note with bid or buy, there are fees attached to the process in the transaction.

All the vehicles listed come from approved dealerships and we also have a few private listings indicated as such. The auction prices (starting bids) are set by our selling retail dealers from around the country. We do not get involved in setting of any prices.

The whole idea is to allow and facilitate a free and fair system in which members from the public can openly bid for a vehicle of their choice.

You are more than welcome to test drive any vehicle listed on our site. If you do not want to bid on the car, you are more than welcome to contact any of our selling dealers directly.

If we do not have a car on our site, you can use the find me a car function and one of our dealer partners will contact you directly.

Our aim is to find anybody a car that they are looking for and we do not charge the public a cent in doing so. We offer a nationwide delivery service at the best rates and can arrange your finance for you as well through our dealer partners who are FICA and FSB approved.

Please free free to ask me any questions further.
