November 24, 2022 - A public car auction will take place on Saturday, 26 November, at Zagreb Velesajam (Zagreb Fairgrounds). The auction system is buy-as-is. The vehicles are untested, possibly defective, or incomplete, and the seller does not guarantee the correctness of the mileage on the vehicles. The auction will be carried out through a buy-as-is system, which excludes the possibility of subsequent objections.

As Poslovni writes, an auction of used vehicles at the Zagreb Fair will be held on November 26, 2022, in the Brijuni hall, starting at 9:00 a.m. All vehicles can be inspected on November 24 and 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Velika Mlaka at 1 Nikole Kramarića Street. Examples of vehicles sold can be viewed in the gallery put together by Poslovni.

All persons have the right to attend and participate with the obligation to pay a deposit of 10 percent of the starting price for each vehicle or a minimum of HRK 500 (€66.36). When making a payment, it is mandatory to indicate the vehicle for which the deposit is paid.

A person who pays a deposit for a particular vehicle and the same vehicle is not auctioned is considered to have abandoned the purchase and thereby loses the right to refund the paid deposit.

The vehicles are untested, possibly defective, or incomplete, and the seller does not guarantee the correctness of the mileage on the vehicles. The auction will be carried out through a buy-as-is system, which excludes the possibility of subsequent objections.

During the public auction, the starting prices can be raised by a minimum amount of HRK 200 (€26.54). The exit invoice is issued exclusively in the name of the natural or legal person who auctioned the vehicle. If the paid vehicle is not picked up within seven days after the auction, a lien fee of HRK 50 (€6.36) is charged for each subsequent day.
