Every option in one place
Browse cars from Encar, Korea's main used-car marketplace, and from the major dealer auctions: Autohub, Lotte, K Car and HappyCar. These auctions are normally open to registered Korean dealers only. Through us, you get the lot details, the condition report and the price — no Korean required.
Korean car auctions in English
Leasing and rental companies and dealers sell their cars at South Korea's dealer auctions. Every lot has an independent auction grade and a body diagram showing repainted and replaced parts. On Era Motors, Lotte, K Car, Autohub and HappyCar lots open in English, with the insurance history and the price in won, US dollars and euros.
Auction schedule: Lotte on Mondays, K Car on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Autohub on Wednesdays. HappyCar is an insurance auction of damaged cars for repair or salvage.
You can't buy a car at a Korean auction directly: only registered Korean dealers are allowed to bid. Era Motors inspects the lot, bids on your behalf, buys the car and ships it to your destination.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a car at a Korean auction myself?
No. Only registered Korean dealers can bid at Autohub, Lotte, K Car and HappyCar. That's why the lots on our site are open for viewing, and Era Motors bids on your behalf.
How do I check a lot for accidents?
Lots show the auction's grade, a body diagram with damage marks and the insurance history. Before the sale, our specialists inspect the car and send you photos and video.
How much does an auction car cost with shipping?
It depends on the final bid and on your destination. Send us the lot number and your country, and we'll quote the price with shipping.
How does buying at an auction work?
You choose a lot and message our manager on WhatsApp or Telegram — the buttons are at the top of the site. We inspect the car, agree the maximum bid with you and bid at the sale. If we win, we issue an invoice payable to the account of Era Trading in Korea.
See the car before you pay for it
