Buyer Guide - Using the Site

Guest vs signed-in

You can open the stock list and vehicle pages without an account. To save favorites, open a deal, request a quote, or use Notifications and My Account, sign in with a buyer account.

Search & stock list

Open Search Cars from the header (URL /vehicle/list). Use the filter bar:

Make — then Model (choose a make first so models load).
Body Type — sedan, SUV, truck, etc.
Budget Max — FOB USD bands.
Tap SEARCH. Use Clear All to reset filters.

Below the bar, Browse by Body Type shortcuts jump to the same list with a type filter. Active filters appear as pills you can remove one by one.

Use the sort dropdown above the grid: default order, price low/high, newest year, lowest mileage.

List prices are approximate FOB USD. Ocean freight, insurance, and local costs are not final until you use GET A QUOTE on the vehicle page for your destination port.

If nothing matches, the empty state offers a REQUEST form so we can help find stock (e.g. auction sourcing).

Vehicle detail page

From a card, open the vehicle. You will see photos, specs, reference number, and status (e.g. available, reserved, sold).

GET A QUOTE — pick destination country/port and options, then submit. That creates or updates activity you follow under Deals (signed-in).

Question — public Q&A on the listing. Use it for vehicle condition and listing details. Do not post private contact information; the board is visible to others.

Favorites

When signed in, use the star on a list card or vehicle page to add or remove a favorite (toggle).

Open Favorites in the menu (/favorite) to see saved vehicles (newest first). Favorites are only shortcuts — they do not reserve a car or create a deal by themselves.

Removing a vehicle from favorites does not cancel an existing deal for that vehicle.

Signed-in menus (overview)

After login, the header groups the main buyer destinations:

Menu	Typical use
Search Cars	Browse and filter inventory (same as guests, plus favorites when you use the star).
Notifications	In-app list of updates (deal status, system messages). Unread count may show on the bell.
Favorites	Vehicles you starred.
Deals	Every quote request and deal row; open one for Reserve, payments, uploads, and documents.
My Account	Profile and settings used on quotes and invoices (e.g. consignee-related fields). Keep data accurate before paying.

Following up (notifications & deals)

Notifications — check the bell and the Notifications page for platform messages. They complement email; if you expect an update, also look at the relevant deal page — it is the source of truth for status and buttons.

Deals — lists all your cases. Each row links to a deal URL (/deal/…) where the next action (Reserve, upload proof, etc.) appears when the workflow allows it.

If something seems stuck, see FAQ & Troubleshooting and contact support with your registered email and deal reference.
