Bid at Korea’s auto auctions
Rohan Company gives approved buyers access to Korea’s major auto auction houses. You receive a login ID from us, bid on the auction house’s own website, and we handle everything after the hammer falls: payment in Korea, export paperwork and shipping.
The auction houses
The five auction houses we buy at. Each logo opens that house’s own website. We are not affiliated with them; all names and logos are the property of their owners.

Auction listings are not shown on this site, and there is nothing to log in to here. Once you are approved, your Rohan manager sends you a login ID for each auction house you need, and you use it directly on that house’s website.
For experienced importers only
Auction cars are sold as seen, under the auction house’s rules. We recommend this route only to importers who already know how Korean auctions work. Before you ask for access, make sure you accept the following:
- Thorough evaluation. You take the time to read the inspection sheet and the condition grade of every car you bid on.
- A realistic budget. Winning bids follow the current Korean market price, and your budget has to match it.
- No cancellations, no claims. Once the hammer falls the sale is final. The auction houses do not allow cancellations or claims, and neither can we.
We work only with buyers who understand and accept these rules.
How auction access works
Six steps from first contact to bidding on your own.
Contact your Rohan manager
Auction access is not open to every buyer. Start by telling your manager which auction houses you want to bid at and what kind of vehicles you are looking for.
Qualification review
We check that you have auction experience and understand the rules, the risks and the responsibilities. This protects you as much as it protects us.
Deposit before access
A deposit is required before we issue any login ID. Your manager confirms the amount and the refund terms with you before you pay it.
The deposit does not reserve a car. It confirms that you intend to buy.
Your login ID
After approval and deposit confirmation we send you a login ID and password for each auction house you need. You use them on the auction house’s own website; nothing runs through this site.
Guided first bids
For your first few auctions your Rohan manager stays with you through the bidding: reading the condition grades, setting limits and placing bids, so you learn the system without expensive mistakes.
Bidding on your own
Once you are comfortable, you bid independently. We continue with everything after a winning bid: purchase coordination, payment in Korea, deregistration, export documents and shipping to your port.
Auction schedule
Live auction days by house. Times are Korean (KST). Each house sets its own calendar and may change it, so confirm with your manager before a sale.
- Monday
- Lotte Auto Auction
- Friday
- Autobell
Live auctions run at the house’s own venue and online. Daily auctions are online only, on business days.
After you win
A winning bid is where our work starts. From the hammer to your port, this is what we handle.
Purchase coordination
We confirm the win with the auction house and collect the vehicle from the yard.
Payment in Korea
You pay Rohan Company against our invoice by bank transfer. We settle with the auction house in Korea.
Deregistration and documents
We deregister the vehicle for export, prepare the documents your customs office needs, and courier them after departure.
Shipping to your port
RoRo or container from Busan, Incheon or Pyeongtaek. You get the vessel and the sailing date once the booking is confirmed.
