TRADE CUSTOMERS
ONE CALL.
ONE RELATIONSHIP.
MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS.
At Best Bidder, our approach to trade customers is simple: we want to become an extension of your business.
Having spent decades working across retail and trade-to-trade sectors, we understand the realities of buying, selling and stocking vehicles.
We’ve worked with businesses ranging from PLC multi-site and national dealer groups to quality independent dealerships, finance businesses and fleet operators.
Our approach may be a little old school.
We believe in relationships, straight talking, knowing our customers and putting the work in.
And we’re proud of it.
WE BID. WE PAY. WE COLLECT.
Auction platforms and trade listings have their place, but sometimes you simply need someone to make a decision and get the vehicle moved.
That’s where we come in.
If a vehicle doesn’t fit your internal stocking profile, you’ve reached stock limits, or you simply need a quick and straightforward trade disposal route, speak to us.
We’re available seven days a week.
We can bid, pay and collect, giving you a fast route out of unwanted stock while helping you avoid tying up valuable stocking funds in part exchanges.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE MOTOR TRADE
The Rolodex approach.
We embrace new technology and modern systems, but there’s one traditional approach we refuse to leave behind:
Knowing our customers.
Our extensive network allows us to understand who is looking for what, rather than simply listing a vehicle and hoping the right buyer sees it.
By looking at deals individually and understanding both the vehicle and the market for it, we’re often able to bid better.
Technology makes things faster.
Relationships make deals happen.
PART EXCHANGES & OVERAGE STOCK
Need an outlet for vehicles that don’t fit your retail profile?
Best Bidder can assist with:
Part Exchanges
Move PX vehicles without unnecessarily tying up your stocking funds.
Overage Units
Create an efficient route for ageing stock.
Non-Profile Vehicles
A vehicle might not work for your forecourt, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work for ours.
Specialist Vehicles
Our broad market knowledge allows us to consider vehicles across numerous sectors.
STOCK SUPPLY
The right cars for your forecourt.
Best Bidder doesn’t just purchase trade stock — we supply it too.
We provide stocking solutions for trade customers across multiple sectors, ranging from family runarounds and SUVs to prestige, supercars and performance stock.
Our experience in the retail market gives us a strong understanding of:
Retail demand
Stock criteria
Desirable specifications
Vehicle margins
Preparation standards
Market positioning
We prepare our trade vehicles to a high standard, meaning that in many cases we can supply retail-ready stock.
CAR LOCATOR SERVICE
Tell us what you need. We’ll do the groundwork.
Looking for a particular vehicle for your forecourt or trying to fulfil a customer’s exact requirements?
Give us the criteria.
Our car locator service allows our team to use its network and market knowledge to find vehicles matching specific requirements.
From an everyday retail unit to something unusual or highly specified, we’ll put the work in so you can concentrate on selling to your customers.
FINANCE BROKERS
Need a fast bid to get a deal done?
If you’re a finance broker requiring a quick vehicle bid to complete a customer deal, we’re on hand to help.
Need the vehicle itself?
Give us the specification and our sourcing service can also help locate the right car for your customer.
FINANCE HOUSES
End-of-contract and repossession stock.
Best Bidder works with finance businesses requiring experienced, responsive vehicle disposal support.
Whether you’re dealing with end-of-contract vehicles or repossession stock, we’re able to:
Appraise vehicles
Provide bids promptly
Arrange payment
Organise collection
Work flexibly around your requirements
FLEET MANAGERS
A faster route for end-of-contract stock.
Sending vehicles through auction can mean transportation costs, administration and waiting for vehicles to go through the auction process before funds are received.
Best Bidder offers an alternative.
We bid. We pay. We collect.
Once a trade bid has been accepted, we aim to pay and collect trade stock within 72 hours — and in many cases sooner.
That means less waiting and a more straightforward route from vehicle to cleared stock.

A flexible additional disposal route for PX, overage and non-profile stock.
