As digital platforms continue to evolve, selling a used car has become increasingly convenient. Beyond traditional showrooms and marketplaces, you can also opt for online auctions, with the IBID app leading the way.

Selling a used car on IBID is also far simpler. You don’t need to worry about taking photos, writing descriptions, or responding to potential buyers one by one.

Instead, the entire process, from comprehensive vehicle inspection to the final sale, is fully managed by IBID’s professional team. In fact, your chances of securing a better price are often higher here than when selling directly to a showroom.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to selling a used car through the IBID app, guiding you seamlessly from the initial process to closing the deal.

1. Create an IBID Account

Download the IBID application and register for a new account. You can sign up using your email, a Gmail account, or linked social media profiles such as Facebook or X.

Make sure your email is active, as all auction-related notifications will be promptly sent there.

2. Verify Your account

Once registered, you must verify your identity. Fill in your phone number, bank account details, and upload a photo of your national ID card (KTP). IBID offers two types of accounts: Individual and Corporate.

Once the verification is successful, you will receive instant confirmation via the app and your registered email.

3. Complete the Consignment Form

Select the “Titip Jual” (Consign) menu on the homepage, then choose “Mobil & Motor” (Cars & Motorcycles). Enter your vehicle’s granular details, including:

• Brand (e.g., Toyota, Daihatsu, Isuzu, etc.)
• Model series and trim (e.g., Toyota, Daihatsu, Isuzu, etc.)
• Engine capacity
• Vehicle type
• Transmission type
• Year of production
• Nearest auction location

Once finished, click “Cek Harga” (Check Price) to view an estimated value. This estimate is algorithmically driven by Market Auction Price (MAP) data from transactions over the past six months. You can also input your own expected reserve selling price.

4. Choose Your Inspection Method

All vehicles listed on IBID must go through an inspection. At this stage, you will choose between a Flash Auction (featuring a live-streamed inspection) or an inspection at the nearest IBID car lot.

Before the inspection, make sure to complete additional details such as your license plate number, inspection location, preferred schedule, as well as an active contact number. This step ensures your car’s condition is professionally verified.

5. Confirm Your Consignment

Once all data is submitted, the IBID team will contact you within a maximum of two business days to confirm your vehicle details, inspection schedule, and negotiate the base bidding price.

If an agreement is reached, you will be asked to sign a cooperation agreement and bring your car to the inspection site so it can be officially listed for auction.

6. Settlement and Payment

Once your car is sold, you will receive an email notification. The sale proceeds will be transferred to your bank account within two business days after the winning bidder completes payment.

If the car remains unsold, IBID will automatically schedule it for the next auction cycle.

Selling a used car no longer has to be complicated. With IBID’s online auction system, the process is easier, more practical, and offers excellent potential for better pricing.
