Vehicle remarketing company Cars Direct is holding an on-line auction of convertibles on January 10 to help dealers capitalise on UK motorists’ love of soft-tops.

More than 40 de-fleeted vehicles will be offered for sale, including Saabs, Audi TTs, Volvos and Mercedes-Benz models. The units entered will be shown on the company’s website from late December, with bidding beginning immediately, to close on January 10. Successful bidders may collect their vehicle from Cars Direct’s headquarters in Corby, Northants, or delivery can be arranged.

Cars Direct provides remarketing services for more than 10,000 vehicles annually from many blue chip businesses and leasing companies.
