Finding Vehicles on Autura Marketplace

You need a verified Autura Marketplace account. You can browse and save vehicles before completing AVP enrollment — you only need to be fully set up to place a bid. See Getting Started as a Buyer if your account is not yet active.

1. Sign in to Autura Marketplace.

2. Select Auctions from the top navigation.

3. You will see the inventory of available vehicles. Toggle between Grid view (card layout) and List view (table layout) using the view selector in the top right.

Grid view — photos prominent, multiple vehicles per row, filter panel on the left.

List view — denser layout, more vehicles per screen.

The filter panel runs along the left side of the Auctions page. Filters combine to narrow your view, and Save search lives in the top right.

4. Open the filter panel and select the filters you want: Make, Model, Year range, Current Bid range, and My Vehicles (Winning, Outbid, Favorites).

5. Selected filters appear as removable pills above the results.

6. Remove a filter by selecting the X on its pill, or clear all filters from the top of the panel.

Saved searches are one of the most useful features on Autura Marketplace and one of the biggest improvements for active buyers. Once you set up your filters the way you want them, a saved search runs in the background and brings new matching inventory to you. Set up as many saved searches as you need — covering different makes, models, year ranges, price points, or locations you care about. The more focused saved searches you have running, the more new inventory you will see when it shows up.

Save search is in the top right of the Auctions page. Apply your filters first, then select Save search.

7. Set your filters (and any keyword search) the way you want them.

8. Select Save search.

9. In the Save search modal, enter a Nickname, add a Keyword if you want one stored with the search, review the Filters applied (shown as chips), and confirm your Sort by selection.

The Save search modal — name your search, add an optional keyword, confirm the filters and sort.

10. Select Save.

11. Manage your saved searches from your saved searches list, accessed via the inventory dropdown at the top of the Auctions page. You can re-run a saved search any time to see the latest matching inventory.

Open the inventory dropdown at the top of the Auctions page to see your saved searches. Select one to re-run it.

Keyword search is complementary to filters — useful when you want to find a specific Make, Model, Year, or combination quickly.

12. Use the Keyword search field at the top of the Auctions page.

13. Type a Make, Model, Year, or any combination (for example, "ford mustang 2016" or "subaru").

14. Results appear in real time as you type. Search is case-insensitive and supports partial matches (for example, "sub" matches both Suburban and Subaru).

15. When you enter multiple terms, vehicles matching all terms are ranked higher than vehicles matching only some terms.

Use the Sort dropdown above the inventory to change the order of results. Nine sort options are available:

The Sort dropdown above the inventory list.

• Ending soon — auctions closing nearest in time appear first.

• Newest inventory — most recently listed vehicles appear first.

• Newest year — newest model years appear first.

• Oldest year — oldest model years appear first.

• Distance closest — vehicles physically closest to your default address appear first.

• Price highest — highest current bid first.

• Price lowest — lowest current bid first.

• Make A-Z — alphabetical by Make.

• Make Z-A — reverse alphabetical by Make.

VDP top: image gallery on the left, Bidding Panel on the right with Place bid action. Disclosures are pinned just below the gallery.

Select any vehicle card to open the Vehicle Detail Page (VDP). The VDP shows you everything the seller has reported about the vehicle along with the bidding panel.

• Image gallery — photos and media for the vehicle.

• Overview — VIN, color, odometer, keys.

• Engine and performance — engine, fuel type, catalytic converter status, start status, transmission, drivetrain.

• Details — year, make, model, body.

• Documentation — seller vehicle ID, documentation type, vehicle ID, license plate state and number where applicable.

• Seller info — seller name, pickup address, and a Policies link.

• Buying info — listing expiration date and time.

Engine and performance, Details, and Documentation sections show the structured fields the seller has reported.

Seller info (name, address, Policies link) and Buying info (listing expiration) appear at the bottom of the VDP.

Disclosures sit immediately below the image gallery on the VDP and are the most important section to read before placing a bid. This is where the seller publishes the rules, fees, timing, and notices that apply to this specific listing. The disclosures often vary seller to seller and listing to listing.

• Seller policies — the seller's general rules of business that apply to all of their listings (release policy, ID requirements, payment expectations, etc.).

• Documentation details — what title or paperwork comes with the vehicle and any conditions on its delivery.

• Fee details — fees the seller will add at sale (documentation, key, storage, lot, etc.). Read these before you bid; they affect your total.

• Pick-up instructions — the seller's specific pickup procedure: yard hours, where to enter, what to bring, loading assistance availability, storage-fee cut-off.

• Special announcements — anything the seller wants you to know about this listing specifically (auction-specific notes, defects called out beyond what the structured fields cover, special handling notes).

The Disclosures block on the VDP. Each category lists the seller's specific terms for this listing.

Bidding Panel

• Current bid — the highest bid right now.

• Bid input — where you enter your bid amount.

• Max bid input — where you enter your maximum bid for proxy bidding.

• Place bid action — submits your bid.

• Bid history — list of bids placed on this vehicle.

• Auction status — Pre-bidding, Live, or Ended.

1. On the auction card or the VDP, select the heart icon to favorite a vehicle.

2. Access your favorites two ways: from the filter panel under My Vehicles → Favorites, or by selecting the heart icon in the top-right of any page. The top-right heart shows both your current favorites and vehicles you have favorited in the past.

Hybrid auctions are live, in-person auctions where buyers can also participate online. They appear in the same search and filter interface as standard auctions, with a few additions:

• You can search for vehicles that are part of a specific hybrid auction event using the search bar.

• Hybrid auction listings show timing information for when each vehicle is expected to go live during the event.

Once you find a vehicle you want, you are ready to place a bid.

• See Bidding on Autura Marketplace for standard bidding, proxy bidding, Multi-Bid, and live auction mechanics.

• See Buying Power & Deposits if the auction you want to bid on requires Buying Power.
