“Last Chance to Buy” 1link dealer car and van auctions launched by Volkswagen Financial Services UK


Volkswagen Financial Services UK (VWFS) are launching a new series of online car and van auctions for dealers.

Taking place 9am-3pm every other Thursday through epyx’s 1link Disposal Network platform. Sales will be made up of stock unsold through previous online channels and are offered with a competitive start price.

Called “Last Chance to Buy” sales, they’ll be unique among VWFS online sales in being open to all buyers registered with epyx.

With the diversity of brands within the Volkswagen Group, these sales will contain a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Porsche and Volkswagen Commercial vehicles.

From selected prestige vehicles through to mainstream stock – the mix will offer something for everyone. Including a wide range of models, age, mileage and conditions.  Ex-VWFS stock is on average 3 years old, has often been well maintained, with eligible stock offered with a valid MOT.

All vehicles are offered with a detailed cosmetic condition report available and high-resolution studio images on eligible stock. As well as known faults or relevant sales information declared on the vehicle listings.

In addition to the competitive platform buyers fees, VWFS also offer a fixed £99 + VAT equalized rate for all deliveries within mainland UK, and delivery from £215 + VAT for Northern Ireland.

1link Disposal Network online car and van auctions form part of an evolving remarketing strategy for VWFS

Martin Woollam, Remarketing General Manager at VWFS, said: “We use a wide variety of online and physical sales. These sales are a new part of our evolving approach to Remarketing strategy. Our fixed price stock has high conversion rates. This online auction is the last chance to buy such attractively priced vehicles before moving to a physical auction.”

Vicky Gardner, epyx Head of Remarketing, added. “We’ve been working with VWFS on online stock remarketing for over three years. We have developed a range of different sales options for different types of stock and different dealer audiences.

“For us, it’s all about helping our leasing company clients remarket stock efficiently and at the best price. While also helping dealers find the cars and vans they need.

“These new sales will be open to a potential audience of more than 2,000 dealers. So we expect interest to be very high.”

1link Disposal Network is one of the longest-established sources of trade stock in the UK. We offer a large selection of stock from major leasing companies, motor manufacturers and more.
