Terms and Conditions of Sale
Bidders must pay a refundable deposit of KSh 50,000 to participate in the auction. The final purchase price is determined by the fall of the hammer, meaning the highest bidder wins the vehicle. Sales are subject to a reserve price, ensuring that the vehicles are sold only if they meet a minimum value. Additionally, all vehicles are sold “as is, where is,” which means they are offered in their current condition without any guarantees.
Other Companies Conducting Vehicle Auctions
In addition to Charlton Auctioneers, several other organizations have also initiated vehicle auctions. NCBA Bank Kenya recently called for bids from potential buyers interested in purchasing lorries, SUVs, and small cars. Prospective bidders were invited to view a range of vehicle brands in Kisumu, Nairobi, and other towns. The available models included Toyota Land Cruisers, Isuzus, Mercedes-Benzes, Land Rover Discoveries, and Nissan Notes.
Kenya Power also announced an auction for used vehicles and motorcycles, allowing owners to place bids for their vehicles. Similarly, the Assets Recovery Agency encouraged Kenyans to purchase cars and other items through its auction process. These initiatives reflect a growing trend of companies using auctions as a method to liquidate assets efficiently.
