Your auction deposit is transferable to any vehicle you want to bid on until you purchase or ask for it to be returned.

Step 4: Wait for the results

When we place a request for an auction vehicles inspection we cannot guarantee an inspection on your auction vehicle will be possible. There are many contributing factors that can affect the availability of an inspection, from the timing and location of the auctions, the number of vehicles to be inspected by that inspector and the schedule of those vehicles, to traffic delays reaching the auction house. We have a success rate of 80-90% when arranging inspections for requests submitted within the given timeframes.

Step 5: The Results are in!

This is the point where we find out the true condition of the vehicle of interest. Auction grading is good for sorting through the masses, but with thousands of vehicles graded, there are bound to be discrepancies. Placing a blind bid on any car no matter what the grade is a recipe for disaster which is why we will not bid on a vehicle if we can't have an agent view the vehicle in person.

Our agent will give us a full overview of the condition of the vehicle. Please note, this inspection is limited to a visual basis due to the regulations of the auction houses. Details of the auction inspection can be found here.

Once the results are in, we'll contact you by phone and discuss placing a bid on the vehicle. At this point your maximum bid can be adjusted acording to the condition of the vehicle or you can choose to PASS on a car if it doesn't meet your needs.

Step 6: Authorizing your Bid

If the results of the inspection are to your satisfaction, we will place a bid on your behalf and you are one step closer to the purchase of your ideal imported vehicle.

Step 7: Success!

Your bid is sufficient to purchase your vehicle. We will email you a purchase agreement the following day and you will have 4 days to make the initial purchase payment.

If your bid was unsuccessful, or the vehicle was not up to your standards, we will continue the search until we find another suitable candidate. Your auction deposit is transferable to any vehicle you want to bid on until you purchase or ask for it to be returned.
