Interest in car auctions in Indonesia is on the rise. Factors like lower prices, transparent used car conditions, and simple processes drive this trend.
However, not all auction houses offer same conveniences. Some provide features that allow bidders to participate remotely, without having to attend the auction physically.
One such example is IBID Balai Lelang Serasi, a subsidiary of PT Serasi Autoraya and part of the Astra group. Beyond its reputation for reliability, IBID offers online live auctions through its mobile app.
The app is available on Google Play Store and App Store, allowing bidders to have greater flexibility to participate remotely. And that’s not all; the app offers many other great features.
