Bidding Tips
Understanding "As Is/Where Is:" Any vehicle or vessel that is purchased at this auction is sold to you "As Is/Where Is." In other words, the Auction does not give you a GUARANTEE nor imply a WARRANTY of any type, kind, ornature on any purchase ie - what you buy - is what you get. This is a wholesale exchange between, you, the buyer, and the seller. This is not a retail used car showroom. Please make certain that you are comfortable buying in the "As Is/Where Is" arena - you will be held finanancially responsible for any bids tendered. Please make sure you know what you are bidding on - condition, mileage, desirability, etc! (If you are unable to drive a vehicle equipped with a "standard-shift" transmission, please ensure the vehicle of interest is satisfactorily equipped).
Right Car/Truck For You!: Make sure you know what you are bidding on. Make certain the car you bid on is the one you looked at earlier; double check the lot #. Don't trust your recollection of the color or model - there may have been two or three cars of the same year/model and color. Think ahead...does the vehicle fit your lifestyle needs?, will it work well with your budget?, will you enjoy driving it?, etc.
VehicleCondition: Look the vehicle over completely before you raise your hand to bid. Make sure you are familiar with the condition of both the interior and the exterior. Once the bid is "knocked down" to you, you are fully responsible for the unit.
Automatic/"Stick-Shift" Transmission: Several of the cars/trucks sold are equipped with a "stick-shift" or manual transmission. If you are unable to drive a vehicle equipped, as such - do not bid on a car/truck you can't drive! The attached vehicle catalog indicates, most of the time, the vehicle’s transmission type.
Mileage: Make sure you visually look at the odometer to determine the correct mileage. Sometimes a vehicle may be "over 100,000 miles." If so, the auction staff when aware of this condition, makes every effort to mark such on the windshield.
Acceptable Forms of Payment: Be sure you are fully prepared to pay for the vehicle you purchase in FULL. Acceptable forms of payment are Cash, Cashier’s Check, American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Personal & Company Checks, accompanied by a bank letter.
Now that you are familiar with the "buying ins-and-outs," you are ready to start your search…
Please remember that once you have bid and your bid is successful, you are fully responsible for consummating your purchase.
Vehicles purchased must be paid for in full by end of the sale.
Vehicles must be removed within 24 hours.
Successful bidders will be issued a GSA Form27-A, Purchasers Receipt, an Authority to Release Property, and a Standard Form 97 Certificate to obtain title to a vehicle.
