What does Sold mean?

The auction is over and the car went to a buyer.

What it means

Sold means the sale is complete: the high bid won (on Pure Sale) or the seller accepted it (minimum bid, on approval). On vinlama a final bid is shown only when it is known; for most lots we track the auction status and the high bid before the sale.

What it means for a buyer

If a car you are checking was sold at auction, look at the date and the damage: the same car may now be offered repaired, with no mention of the auction. Compare the photos from the yard with what the seller shows you.
