It is fully up to the buyer to satisfy themselves with a prospective purchase before bidding regardless of any written or oral statements the dealership has made about the vehicle. However, we do NOT allow test drives during the auction process. Once the auction has ended the vehicle is now considered sold and we do not permit any post sale inspections. (Of course if you are the winner of the auction you are always welcome to look over the car, test drive it, and make sure you are happy with it before taking delivery.)

Should debt collection be necessary buyer agrees to pay 1 ½ % interest per month or an annual rate of 18% until the debt is collected and paid in full.

ALL VEHICLES MUST BE PAID IN FULL WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION. For example if an auction ends on a Thursday night then you have Friday, (Saturday, Sunday, & National Holidays in which banks are closed are not considered business days) Monday, & Tuesday to pay for the vehicle. All vehicles must be paid in full by 5PM on the third business day. Vehicles that are not paid for in full after 3 days will incur a $50 per day holding fee until the remaining balance is paid in full. Also if a vehicle is not paid in full after 3 business days the seller may cancel the sale at will & confiscate the non-refundable $250 deposit. The seller may at that time re-auction the vehicle or offer the vehicle for sale to other prospective buyers.

You will be responsible for sales tax in your home state upon registering the vehicle. We do charge a small $95 fee (to all buyers including dealers) to help cover the cost of the gross receipt inventory business tax, temporary tags, copies, faxes, postage, and USPS 2-3 day mail service of documents.
(11) Do you require a deposit from me? We require that a deposit be made to secure the transaction by the end of the next business day on each vehicle purchased. For example, this means that if you win the auction for any given vehicle at 10PM (ET) on a Monday night then the $250 deposit is due by 5PM (ET) the following evening (Tuesday). The deposit is to be made via PayPal only. Should any buyer fail to make this deposit by 5PM (ET) we reserve the right to offer or sell the vehicle to another bidder or buyer as we deem necessary. Also should the buyer fail to make this deposit or make other arrangements with us by 5PM (ET) we reserve the right to cancel the transaction. If a buyer pays the deposit, but does not complete the transaction for ANY reason, then the deposit is non-refundable and becomes the property of The Car Man Co., LLC.
(12) Can The Car Man Company arrange financing for me or take my trade in? We do not offer ANY financing through the dealership. Please have all loan and financing arrangements in place before you bid. Also we do not accept trade ins on our auction sales due to the limitations of the auction process.
(13) Do I need insurance? Once the vehicle is paid for in full insurance is required from the buyer. We do not insure the vehicle after payment is made in full. This is especially important if your vehicle is being transported via car carrier. Please make sure you have proper coverage once you pay in full for the vehicle.
(14) How does shipping work? Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. However from time to time we may offer an advertised promotion to include discounted shipping to buyers. In those cases we will make all the necessary arrangements. Shipping will be "open carrier" and does not include any insurance. Though we may make shipping arrangements as a courtesy to a buyer we are not affiliated with any shipping company and make no guarantees as to the time required to ship a vehicle to your destination. It is especially important for buyers to make sure they have the proper insurance on their purchase before it leaves our dealership. We do not provide any insurance on the vehicles once they leave the dealership.
(15) What happens after I win the auction? At the close of the auction you will receive an eBay message from eBay letting you know you have won the auction. We will also send you an eBay message with further instructions and contact information.
(16) When can I pick up my vehicle? If you are planning to pick up the vehicle in person, these are the hours we are open for eBay deliveries: Monday-Saturday (10am-6pm ET). We are closed on Sunday, and all National Holidays. We require 24 hours notice so we may prepare the vehicle and the paperwork for delivery.
(17) Finally, can you give me a brief overview of the whole process? Its pretty basic actually. If you come in person we will do all the paperwork in person at the dealership. It does not take very long and you will be back on the road in as little as 30 minutes! If you choose to ship the vehicle it is only slightly different. We will USPS you a full set of paperwork, sign both copies of all forms and just send it back in the included USPS pre-paid envelope. Once we receive it back we will keep our copies and send you back your copies as well as the vehicle title & temporary tags via USPS. Please keep in mind the vehicle can not leave our dealership until the vehicle is paid for AND all of the signed paperwork has been received back by us. |
