FOR BUYERS
Damaged vehicles, bought across borders, settled digitally.
Repairers, dismantlers and traders across Europe buy from insurer-sourced supply on ECX, with the documents, the payment and the protection handled from start to finish.
Supply you cannot reach locally
Vehicles sourced through insurer and assessor channels in Germany and Italy, open to verified buyers regardless of which country they operate from.
You are never paying into the dark
Funds are held by a regulated payment provider and release when the transaction completes. Every counterparty is identity-checked before bidding.
Know what it is worth to you
BidLens works out the highest price at which a vehicle still earns you a margin, in your own market's economics.
SETTLEMENT
The part that makes buying across a border possible
Buying a damaged vehicle from an insurer in another country normally means trusting a stranger with money, and then hoping the documents exist. That is the reason cross-border bids are usually lower than the vehicle is worth to the buyer — the discount is for risk, not for the car.
Funds held, not transferred
Payment goes to a regulated payment provider, not to the seller. It releases when the transaction completes, so neither side carries the other's solvency risk.
Every party identity-checked
Buyers are verified before they can bid. Sellers are insurers and assessors. There is no anonymous participant in the chain and no informal intermediary taking a cut.
Title and documentation handled
Deregistration, title transfer and the export documentation are part of the transaction rather than your problem afterwards. The vehicle can actually leave the country it is in.
Why this is worth money to you
A vehicle you are certain to receive, with documents you are certain to receive, is worth more than the same vehicle with either in doubt. Bidding at your real number stops being a risk — which is the whole reason cross-border demand can reach these vehicles at all.
BIDLENS
Know what the vehicle is worth to you before you bid
The hard part of buying a damaged vehicle abroad is not finding it. It is working out what it is worth once it reaches your workshop — in your labour rates, with the parts you can actually source, at the price your market pays for a repaired car.
Modelled per market
Labour rates, parts pricing, realistic repair scope and post-repair resale are modelled separately for 14 markets. A Polish buyer and a Czech buyer looking at the same vehicle get different numbers, because they should.
The highest price that still pays
It computes the most you can bid and still earn your margin, after repair, transport and the resale effect of accident history. You bid to a number instead of guessing safely below one.
Over the listing, in your browser
No separate system to open and no data to re-enter. It reads the vehicle in front of you and returns the calculation there.
Buyers who know their own ceiling bid closer to it. That is most of what separates a cross-border bid from a domestic one.
