    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you collect vehicles from Edinburgh?+

    Yes. We arrange collection across Edinburgh and the surrounding area, from single vehicles to full fleet batches, usually within a few working days of terms being agreed.

    Who buys trade vehicles in Edinburgh?+

    Verified motor trade buyers — local independent dealers, car supermarkets, van specialists, dismantlers and exporters — bidding through the EAMA Group platform.

    How quickly can a batch be sold?+

    Most vehicles enter the next available trade sale, with payment settled after the sale closes and collection arranged around your site access.

    What are my vehicles worth around Edinburgh?+

    Value comes from the vehicle, not the postcode: age, mileage, condition, service history and current trade demand. Send the details or a fleet list and you get a trade valuation based on what buyers are actually paying for comparable Edinburgh & Lothians stock.

    Can I buy trade stock near Edinburgh?+

    Yes — motor trade businesses can register and bid on stock nationwide, then collect from the holding location or have vehicles delivered to Edinburgh. Auctions are trade-only, so you need a motor trade business to take part.

    Do you handle export stock from Edinburgh?+

    We do. Port of Leith and Grangemouth gives Edinburgh & Lothians sellers straightforward access to export buyers, which is often where high-mileage diesels, left-field specifications and older stock make the most money.

    Does Edinburgh low emission zone covering the city centre affect what I can sell?+

    It affects local retail demand more than saleability. Older diesel cars and vans caught by Edinburgh low emission zone covering the city centre tend to sell better to buyers outside the zone or to exporters — which is exactly why selling into a national trade buyer base beats a local-only sale.

    Do vehicles need to be prepared or repaired first?+

    No. Stock sells as it stands — faults, damage and non-runners included — with condition described honestly so bidders price it accurately rather than discounting for the unknown.
