The bidders were also allowed pre-sale inspection of the cars a day before the event resulting in the completion of procedures and delivery of the vehicles to their new owners on the same day.
The procedure helped guarantee the rights of all parties and both auctions were organized by ADJD in coordination with relevant sectors. (AW)
