Win the auction on ADESA

Synchronized bids

ADESA, Alphabet, LeasePlan and GWListe have further integrated their platforms. All incoming bids on these platforms are now synchronized. This means that your ADESA bids are constantly being compared to bids from these platforms from Alphabeth, LeasePlan and GWListe. In other words, when you have the highest bid on our ADESA platform, you have the highest bid on all platforms! Remember, if you place bids from the “My Bids” dashboard, you don’t need to refresh the page manually, all information (bids and prices) is updated automatically.

TIP: Use “My Bids” to follow up and improve your offer during x-Time and win the auction!

Extended Alphabet auctions

Right after the first run of an Alphabet auction, all vehicles from that auction are auctioned directly again, during the so-called "x-Time" phase. Per car, you have a number of seconds to update your bid. When a bid is placed during those extra seconds, the clock is reset and starts counting down again.

Extended LeasePlan auctions

Right after the first run of a LeasePlan auction, all vehicles in that auction are auctioned directly again during the so-called “x-Time” phase. During this phase, the entire auction is extended as soon as a bid is placed on 1 vehicle. The entire auction remains open as long as bids are being placed.

LeasePlan Spain and Leaseplan The Netherlands are exceptions. 

LeasePlan Spain: Here, the auction is only extended by 1 minute for vehicles that get a bid in that minute. Vehicles that don’t get a bid, disappear automatically from the auction; Bidding is not possible anymore. Vehicles that do get a bid, remain in auction until no bids are being placed.

LeasePlan Netherlands: vehicles expire individually within the auction, meaning that the entire auction is no longer kept open. Vehicles without any bid will be closed as of 10:00 CET. For vehicles having bids, it's now time to place your best bid! As long as there is a bid on a vehicle, only that vehicle will be extended by 30 seconds. It only concerns Leaseplan auctions starting every Thursday (ending on Monday, 10:00 CET) and Tuesday (ending on Thursday, 10:00 CET). Other Leaseplan auctions follow the standard procedure as described above.

Extended GWListe auctions

Right after the dynamic phase of an GWListe auction, all vehicles from that auction are auctioned again in the "x-Time" phase. Per car in alphabetically order, you have a number of seconds to update your bid. When a bid is placed during those extra seconds, the clock is reset and starts counting down again.
