Leasing Auctions
These are closed platforms where leasing companies sell vehicles 15 to 30% below market value..
What cars are sold?
The auctions feature vehicles previously leased by European companies and strictly maintained.
Why 15 to 30% cheaper?
Thousands of cars are sold daily. To accelerate sales and recover capital quickly, leasing companies substantially reduce prices.
How to access the auctions?
Strict accreditation is required, available only to professional automotive companies. Private individuals do not have access to these auctions.
Our company, 01CARTELPT, has official accreditation with the largest leasing companies in the European Union. We specialise in sourcing and selecting vehicles for our clients, guaranteeing access to this closed market.

Important note about timeframes

Full breakdown of costs
for the purchase, transport, and legalisation of the vehicle
Search and Transport
- Inspection of each vehicle by an expert: 150-350€ depending on location (when buying at a leasing auction, the inspection cost is 0€).
- Issuance of temporary number plates and insurance during transport and legalisation: 150€.
- Transport of the vehicle to Portugal by truck: 1000-1500€ depending on the size and location of the car.
State Expenses
- Registration expenses: 210€ (Category B inspection, number plates, IMT fees, and DUA issuance).
- Vehicle Tax (ISV): from 0€ for electric vehicles up to over 60,000€ for high-capacity combustion engines (depends on engine capacity, CO2 emissions, and year of registration).

Our commission

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the car search process work?
What is the difference between buying on the market (at a dealer) and from a leasing company?
Leasing companies: Cheaper, as it is a direct purchase without the dealer's margin, but takes longer (25 to 40 days) as it requires time for logistics to intermediate lots.
Is it safe to buy from leasing companies?
From what value is it worth importing a car to Portugal?
From 15,000€ to 20,000€: A small saving starts to emerge.
Above 20,000€: The advantage is evident. For example, a car that costs you 60,000€ in Germany, including legalisation, may cost between 64,000€ and 75,000€ in Portugal.
Can I go to pick up the car in Germany personally?
Can I request just one service (e.g., only legalisation)?
Can you handle car preparation after purchase?
