    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you collect vehicles from Southampton?+

    Yes. We arrange collection across Southampton 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 Southampton?+

    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 Southampton?+

    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 Hampshire stock.

    Can I buy trade stock near Southampton?+

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

    Do you handle export stock from Southampton?+

    We do. Port of Southampton and Portsmouth International Port gives Hampshire sellers straightforward access to export buyers, which is often where high-mileage diesels, left-field specifications and older stock make the most money.

    Does Portsmouth clean air zone charging older commercial vehicles affect what I can sell?+

    It affects local retail demand more than saleability. Older diesel cars and vans caught by Portsmouth clean air zone charging older commercial vehicles 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.

    What information do you need to start?+

    Registrations or a fleet list, approximate mileages, condition notes and the collection address. That is enough for a trade valuation and a collection plan.
