Detran-SP, an entity linked to the Secretariat of Management and Digital Government of the São Paulo government, holds auctions of vehicles seized and collected in yards in the interior of São Paulo. The notice was published in the Official State Gazette on October 2. The vehicles are divided into roadworthy ones, usable scrap for dismantling and units for casting and recycling.
An auction held by the São Paulo State Traffic Department (Detran-SP) has almost 800 vehicles available in cities in the regions of Bauru, Presidente Prudente and São José do Rio Preto. The pre-bid stage began this Tuesday (3).
The vehicles are collected in Palmital, Cândido Mota, Presidente Prudente, Dracena, Teodoro Sampaio and Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo. The starting bids are R$540 for motorcycles and R$810 for cars.
The notice published in the Official State Gazette foresees, in total, 792 units, being:
149 roadworthy vehicles, including cars and motorcycles; 469 lots of scrap metal usable for dismantling; 174 units destined for casting and recycling.
The auction is scheduled to take place over three days, starting on Monday (9), with lots divided between preserved vehicles, scrap for dismantling and scrap for foundry or recycling.
Registration takes place up to 48 hours before the start of the competition and must be made on the Sumaré Leilões website, the company responsible for holding the sessions and virtual bidding.
In the notice available on the internet, it is possible to see details of the lots, with information such as brand, model, engine, color, year of manufacture and minimum bid defined by experts.
Detran-SP described that the minimum bid is the starting value for offers. The estimated valuation of each unit is calculated based on market values and condition.
Yard visits and pre-bid
The units offered in the auction can be seen up close between this Tuesday (3) and Friday (6). The visit is only to see the batch: handling, removal, replacement of parts or any type of testing or experimentation is not permitted. Check the addresses of the yards below.
Pre-bids also started this Tuesday (3), in which participants can suggest a price for a vehicle.
The value will then be converted into a bid at the beginning of the public session, which, if not exceeded within 30 seconds, will automatically become the winner and buyer of that unit. Once accepted, a bid cannot be undone. There is no possibility of withdrawal, according to Federal Law No. 14,133/2021.
According to Detran-SP, pre-bidding is recommended as a preventive measure to avoid technical and connection failures on the part of the bidding buyer during the auction. Those who do not can also participate in the auction of their interest, placing a bid during the session.
The preserved vehicle that does not receive a bid equal to or greater than its appraised value will be included in a new auction session with an initial value corresponding to 70% of the previous one. If it is not sold again, it will be reclassified as usable scrap.
Detran-SP reinforced that, even if a pre-bid has been made, the owner of the vehicle listed for auction has the right to recover it up to one business day before the auction.
To do this, the owner needs to pay off outstanding debts, including infractions and fees for removal and custody in the yard, in accordance with Resolution 623, of 2016, of the National Traffic Council (Contran).
