Three windows a week. You’ll know them a week out.

A new auction opens Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am and runs 48 hours. A schedule you can plan capital around.

Open for 48 hours. Sealed for the last five minutes.

You see the current high the whole way — then the finish goes blind, so nobody snipes and nobody can collude on a ceiling.

How a lot runs. Figures are illustrative — live numbers are members-only.

Sealed finish
Bids go blind for every bidder. Your best number, once — no last-second sniping, no ceiling games.

Highest bid above the floor wins
Your S$500 comes off the 1% + GST fee, and the balance is due within 72 hours of you and the seller both confirming.

A new auction opens Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am and runs 48 hours.

One floor: approved resale dealers and export buyers bid the same lots. ‘Exporter’ is a paperwork type on your account, not a lane.

Fixed bid steps

Every bid moves in fixed per-lot steps. Clean rounds, no penny wars — fair for every dealer in the room.

Nothing sells below the floor

The seller sets a floor before the window opens. If no bid clears it, there’s no sale — the car stays with its owner.

You bid dealers, not the public

It's dealer-to-dealer the whole way. The current high is members-only — the open web never sees a single bid.

Three numbers. And your deposit pays most of one of them.

You pay to win, hold a deposit per lot, and register once. That's the whole list.

On a win
1%+ GST
Commission
One percent of your winning bid, invoiced when you and the seller both confirm the deal is done — payable within 72 hours. Lose, and you pay nothing.
GST-registered dealers claim it back as input tax
Refundable
S$500/ lot
Deposit per lot
Held while you’re in the running. Back to you at close if you don’t win; win, and it comes off your commission invoice — you never pay it twice. Forfeited only if you walk on a win.
Back if you lose, credited if you win
One-time
S$250+ GST
Registration
A single fee to set up and verify your dealership. Pay it once and you're in for good.
Paid after your ACRA check passes

Net due within 72 hours of both sides confirming the handover. Below about S$45,800, a win costs you nothing at settlement.

Holds stack. Three live lots is S$1,500 tied up — and you top up before placing a hold your free balance can’t cover.

And the four things we don’t charge:

listing feesubscriptionper-bid chargebuyer's premium

That's every fee. No listing charge, no subscription, no per-bid cost, no buyer’s premium. Sellers pay nothing — Carle is paid by the dealer who wins.

Apply to bid

Owner cars. Log-card verified. Carle checked.

Every lot is a genuine owner's car, backed by its log card. Every bidder is a verified dealership — and Carle's valuation hands you the data to bid right.

  • Genuine owner carsListed by the people who drove them — petrol, hybrid, EV, every make. No traders dressing up stock.
  • Log-card-backedMake, COE and registration come straight from each car's LTA log card — and the owners count is recorded at Carle's inspection.
  • Dispute protectionIf a car isn't as described, you raise a dispute with evidence — and fault decides the deposit, both ways. The rules are below.
  • Verified dealers onlyWe check every dealership against ACRA BizFile by hand before activation. No bots, no anonymous bidders.Manual ACRA check · usually within one business day

Everything you need to bid with margin.

The paper, attached

Every lot is a real owner’s car, log-card verified — OMV, ARF, PARF and COE rebate, mileage and owner count, straight off the LTA data. Verified, not typed in.

Condition, inspected

Many lots carry a full Carle inspection: an independent condition report with a body map, written before any dealer sees the car. The seller pays for that — never you.

The market, read

A depreciation calculator and the model’s market depreciation sit on every lot page in your portal. Bid on what you know, not on what you’re guessing.

In your portal

Redacted here — the live paper sits on each lot in your portal, and the board shows the cars before you register a thing.

Win it, then get it on your lot.

You book the meet inside the portal — no phone numbers change hands, and Carle brokers every message. The meet is arranged within 72 working hours of the close, per the dealer terms.

The price is the winning bid. It was locked when the lot closed and it isn’t renegotiated at the door — by you or by the seller.

You pay the seller direct at the handover; Carle never holds the car money. You both confirm it’s done, and your commission invoice follows — due within 72 hours.

  1. Book the meet in the portal — Carle relays every message
  2. Inspect and collect the car
  3. Pay the seller direct — a screenshot is not payment
  4. Both confirm · the commission invoice follows

Fair both ways — and here’s what that’s worth.

If a car isn’t as described, or the seller doesn’t go through with it, you raise a dispute with evidence. A person at Carle reviews both sides and decides where the fault sits.

Seller at fault

Your S$500 comes back in full, and the car passes to the next bidder.

Dealer at fault

You forfeit your S$500, and the car passes to the next bidder.

Sellers can raise a dispute too. It cuts both ways — which is what makes it safe to bid on a car you haven’t touched.

Who can see the price, and when.

During the 48 hours you see the current high, never who’s behind it. In the final 5 minutes it goes dark for every bidder — including you.

So nobody snipes, and nobody colludes on a ceiling.

A person checks you. Nothing self-approves.

Send your dealership details and UEN. We check you against ACRA BizFile by hand — usually within one business day — and someone calls or WhatsApps you either way.

No payment is taken to apply. Once you’re approved and you’ve accepted the dealer terms, you fund your deposit from inside your account; the one-time registration is set up with you by the dealer desk.

  1. Apply — a few details, no payment

New auctions Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 11am. Apply now — we verify your dealership and open your account, usually within a business day, so you're set for the next window.

Dealer application

A few details. We'll verify your dealership and set up your login — no password needed here.

Do you also export?

Everyone bids on the same cars — this only tells us which paperwork you’ll need on a win.

Applying commits you to nothing — you'll accept the dealer terms from your account, before your first bid. We use your details only to verify and set up your account.
