Exleasingcar: how to buy ex-leasing cars from Europe with delivery
Exleasingcar is an online car auction platform. The website describes itself as an international platform where ex-leasing vehicles owned by European banks and leasing companies are sold. Through these auctions you can buy not only passenger cars but also commercial vehicles and motorcycles.
An important note upfront. Exleasingcar is not a classifieds board where you message the seller and haggle as you go. Here you participate in an auction under the platform's rules: bid, purchase confirmation, payment, handover, documents. If you don't like regulations — better to learn them before your first bid, not after.
What is Exleasingcar and what cars are sold there
According to Exleasingcar's description, the platform lists ex-leasing vehicles. The platform also states that all cars are assessed by independent experts, and some lots may still have manufacturer warranty (if still valid).
What you typically find in the catalogue:
Geographically, Exleasingcar shows auctions in various European countries. In the site's section structure and auction listings you can see Lithuania, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, and in the general auction list France and Italy also appear.
- Passenger cars.
- Commercial vehicles (LCV).
- Motorcycles.
Who can access the auctions and how to get access
Registration on the platform is free. On the registration page, Exleasingcar states it takes about 3 minutes, followed by an "upload documents" step.
But there's an important nuance: basic registration gives you viewing access, not bidding access. The rules state that a registered user can see detailed lot information, but to participate in auctions and make price offers, you need to sign an Agreement and complete additional steps outlined in the rules and/or agreement.
Among the requirements for auction participation, the rules specifically mention: you need to provide a copy of an identity document and sign the Agreement electronically.
Auction types on Exleasingcar
Exleasingcar has several auction formats, and this is not a minor detail. The auction type determines what you see on screen and how bids behave.
Open auction
In open auctions, the current highest price is visible to participants. On the "about" page, Exleasingcar explains the mechanics: in an open auction you offer a price that is €100 above the current highest price visible to all participants.
Closed auction
In a closed auction you submit your price but cannot see other participants' offers. According to the FAQ, you can increase your offer before the auction ends, but you cannot lower or cancel it.
Fixed price (Buy Now)
There is a format where the car is sold at a fixed price. On the auction types page, Exleasingcar writes: your request goes to the seller immediately after clicking "Buy now", and the purchase is completed after seller confirmation.
Open or closed auction with Buy Now
The FAQ describes hybrid formats: you participate under open or closed auction rules, but can also click "Buy Now" and submit a purchase request at the listed price. After that, the auction stops or concludes after seller confirmation (depending on the type).
iBID Assistant and MAX BID: how auto-bidding works
On auction pages, Exleasingcar describes the iBID assistant (smart helper) for open auctions. The logic is simple: you set a MAX BID — the maximum amount — and the assistant raises your bid by the minimum increment (€50 or €100, depending on the specific auction rules) when a competitor appears. Important: the assistant will never exceed your set maximum.
And a second important point — iBID bids, like manual bids, are considered binding. On auction pages and in Exleasingcar materials it is separately stated that after confirmation you cannot cancel or withdraw bids.
How to buy a car on Exleasingcar: step by step
Below is the process that follows the platform's logic and documentation.
Separately, the contract mentions that the winning car price is reflected in the purchase order and VAT invoice, and the VAT invoice must be paid within 5 calendar days from the issue date. The payment deadline and document type are always indicated in your account and in the invoice for the specific purchase. Follow the documents for your order — they set the actual payment deadline.
Registration and auction access
Register for free, confirm your account and upload documents. If you want to actually participate in auctions, be prepared to sign the Agreement and meet requirements described in the rules.
Choosing a lot and understanding the auction type
Before bidding, check the auction type: open, closed, fixed price, or a variant with "Buy now". It seems basic, but many people stumble here: in a closed auction you won't see the market, while in an open one you'll be outbidding the current price by the rules.
Bidding (manually or via iBID)
In open auctions you can use MAX BID and iBID assistant. Remember that bids are binding and cannot be cancelled.
Confirmation and payment
Then payment deadlines kick in, which are already fixed in Exleasingcar's contract documents. The contract states that the buyer is obligated to pay the amount indicated in the Purchase Approval Form / Preliminary Invoice no later than 3 calendar days from the moment these documents are placed in the buyer's account.
Delivery and documents: what Exleasingcar offers
Exleasingcar has a separate Services / Fees section showing vehicle and document preparation services, as well as pickup options.
Vehicle and document preparation packages
On the services page there are "Vehicle and document preparation packages" with examples:
- Truck pickup: export documents, vehicle preparation, service inspection — €105.
- Own pickup (Temporary registration): export documents, temporary plates, civil liability insurance — €199.
- There are also options for Lithuania registration and technical inspection (as a separate service package).
Delivery and timelines
The services page separately states that delivery times are approximate ("car delivery times are approximate"). The timeline depends on the route and transport conditions, and estimates are given as approximations.
What "ex-leasing car" means and why it doesn't guarantee perfect condition
The phrase "ex-leasing" sounds reassuring, but it doesn't override reality: cars can have high mileage, cosmetic issues, sometimes damage. Exleasingcar explicitly highlights separate auction categories: damaged car auction and cars with technical defects, and honestly warns that cars are sold "as seen in photos", and some may have hidden defects.
This is normal auction logic. Just better to accept upfront: your protection is not "platform reliability" but careful reading of the listing, photos, comments and damage reports.
Why buy through a broker and what's the point
Exleasingcar is fundamentally built on a B2B model: registration, documents, agreement, binding bids, payment deadlines.
If the buyer doesn't want to deal with this independently (or doesn't have the right legal status), in practice a broker is often involved: they handle the account, bids, payment and subsequent logistics.
