The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has announced the sale of cars, motorcycles, machinery and scrap from its workshops, through a public auction.
The auction, which started Sunday, will take place until September 30 from 4pm to 8pm, the MoI said in a post on Twitter. It will be held on Street No. 1, near the Workshops and Transport Department, in the Industrial Area.
The auction card can be obtained from the site of the auction in the morning from the first day of the auction until it ends. The work of the auction committee concerned will continue throughout the week, except on official holidays and weekends.
All vehicles have been written off from the records of the General Directorate of Traffic and there are no legal or financial restrictions on them, according to the MoI.
The dates of the auction will be divided as follows:
1. For cars and machinery, the auction began yesterday and will continue until all cars, machinery and other materials are sold.
2. The auction of workshop equipment and scrap, as well as damaged batteries, will be held on Wednesday, September 15, for one day only, and the items that have not been paid for will be resold the next day.
The auction conditions are as follows:
1. Any person's entry into the auction will mean there is full inspection of the vehicles offered for sale and acceptance of their current conditions in addition to his/her knowledge of all necessary conditions to enter the auction.
2. Those who wish to join the auction should obtain the auction card, sold in the auction area, against a payment of QR3,000 refundable at the end of each auction day with the possibility to keep the card until the end of the auction and use it for further purchases.
3. The auction card will be withdrawn in case the bidder fails to pay the down-payment for the vehicle and the card will be considered as the sale down-payment with necessary settlement (if any).
