Once your vehicle sells, you'll receive the proceeds quickly. Selling through us saves you the time and effort of private sales and helps you get the fair market value without hassle.

Are There Any Taxes on the Purchase?

Taxes vary by state and are not included in the auction price. If you win a vehicle, you'll pay any applicable sales tax, title fees or registration costs directly to your state's Department of Motor Vehicles when you register the car. Our staff can explain what to expect and guide you through the process so there are no surprises. We make sure you understand all costs upfront before you finalize your purchase.

What Are the Accepted Methods of Payment?

We accept several secure payment methods to make checkout simple and safe. You can pay your deposit by credit card, and the remaining balance can be made via cashier's check, money order or wire transfer. These options ensure fast, verified transactions so you can retrieve your vehicle as quickly as possible. Our customer service team is always available to answer payment questions or confirm details before you finalize your purchase.

How Do I Arrange for Vehicle Pickup or Shipping?

After you win, you can choose to pick up your vehicle in person or have it shipped to you. If you're purchasing from out of state, we can connect you with trusted transport partners who can deliver your vehicle safely to your home or business. Shipping costs depend on distance, vehicle type and carrier availability and we'll provide clear options and pricing before you decide.

How Quickly Can I Retrieve My Vehicle After Winning?

Most buyers can retrieve their vehicle as soon as the next business day after payment is processed. We'll confirm pickup details and prepare all necessary paperwork to make the process smooth. If you need a few extra days, we can hold the vehicle temporarily while you arrange transportation. Our goal is to make pickup easy and stress-free so you can get behind the wheel without delay.
