Everything you need to know about Korsica.
Mexico's first digital auction platform for enthusiast cars. Buyers and sellers interact directly with full transparency: every bid, comment and inspection is visible to everyone.
You pay a 3% commission on the final auction price (min $3,000 MXN, max $75,000 MXN). This is charged when you win, not when you bid. There are no hidden fees or sign-up charges. This is the founders-stage rate, for the first 50 lots: from lot 51 it becomes 5% with a $100,000 MXN cap.
No, and we are saying so now rather than telling you later. The 3% with a $75,000 MXN cap is the founders-stage rate, for the first 50 lots. From lot 51 the commission is 5% with a $100,000 MXN cap. We raise the price when the catalogue justifies it, not before: while the platform is young, buying here carries more uncertainty and the rate reflects that. If you win one of the first 50 lots, you pay the founders rate.
Create your account, verify your identity (KYC), and click 'Bid' on any active auction. Only verified buyers can bid. You can bid as many times as you want while the auction is open, and every bid is a firm commitment to buy.
7 days from publication. If someone bids in the last 2 minutes, the time is automatically extended (anti-snipe) so everyone has a chance to respond.
No. Every bid is a binding commitment. That's why we recommend only bidding the amount you're willing to pay. If you win and don't complete the purchase, your account may be suspended.
Nothing. The seller receives 100% of the winning bid. The 3% commission is paid by the buyer. There are also no fees for relisting if your car doesn't sell the first time.
If your car has history, modifications, is from a special generation or you drive it with passion — send it. We evaluate each submission individually based on community interest. We don't accept fleet cars or salvage titles.
1) Fill out the form with photos, video and VIN. 2) We verify the car and give you a curation decision within 48h. 3) A 7-day auction; you answer buyer questions within 24h. 4) At close, the buyer pays their commission within 48h, then transfers the car amount to you by SPEI and we coordinate the handover. You receive 100%.
It's the minimum price you're willing to accept. If bids don't reach that amount, the auction closes as 'not sold'. You can list with or without reserve — no-reserve auctions tend to attract more attention and bids.
Minimum 10, ideally 20+. Include exteriors from all angles, interior, engine, tires, dashboard, and any details or defects. Check our photo guide — listings with great photos generate up to 40% more bids.
There are two separate payments. First you pay Korsica's commission (3%, min $3,000 and max $75,000 MXN), within 48 hours of close. Once paid, we release contact with the seller and you transfer the car amount by SPEI, straight to their account: that money never passes through Korsica. We validate your receipt (CEP) before coordinating the handover.
The buyer transfers directly by SPEI, so the money lands in your account without passing through Korsica or any intermediary account. It happens after the buyer pays their commission and before handover: we validate their receipt (CEP) and only then coordinate delivery. You receive 100% of the winning bid.
We release contact between buyer and seller only after the buyer pays their commission. From there a Korsica account manager coordinates the handover with both parties, closed out with a signed record and checklist. If the car is in another city, transport is covered by the buyer.
We accept credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX) for bid holds. For high-amount final payments, we coordinate SPEI transfers or bank deposits. We do not accept cash or cryptocurrency.
Korsica has a Buyer Protection program. If the vehicle has significant discrepancies from the listing, you can file a claim within the first 72 hours after delivery. Our team mediates and seeks a fair resolution.
To sell, yes — you need to complete KYC verification with your ID and CURP. To buy and bid, you only need to register a valid payment method. Verification protects the entire community against fraud.
