Question 1

What does an automotive broker do?

Accepted Answer

A vehicle broker works on the buyer's side. Instead of selling you what is already sitting on a lot, we take your specifications — make, model, year range, trim, color, mileage and budget — then search dealer networks and authorized dealer-only auction marketplaces nationwide, present the strongest matches, and bid only up to the maximum amount you approve.

Question 2

Do I need a dealer license?

Accepted Answer

No. Dealer-only auctions require a licensed dealer to register, bid and purchase. You work through our licensed operation (dealer license 5896523), so you get access to those opportunities without holding a license yourself.

Question 3

Can you find a specific color, trim or feature package?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the core of the service. The more specific you are about trim, packages, interior color, drivetrain and mileage limits, the better we can target the search. We will also ask for acceptable alternatives so a near-perfect match is not missed while waiting on an exact one.

Question 4

Which auctions and vehicle sources do you use?

Accepted Answer

We source through nationwide dealer networks and the dealer-only auction marketplaces we are authorized to use, which currently include Manheim, OPENLANE / ADESA and ACV Auctions. Availability varies by vehicle, region and sale calendar.

Question 5

Do I approve the bid before it is placed?

Accepted Answer

Always. You review the vehicle details, available photos and reports, the estimated total cost and our recommended maximum bid. No bid is placed until you authorize a specific maximum amount in writing, and we never exceed it.

Question 6

What happens if the bid is unsuccessful?

Accepted Answer

Auction vehicles often sell above the authorized maximum. If that happens, nothing is purchased, your authorization for that vehicle ends, and the search continues on the next matching opportunity. [EDITABLE: describe how unsuccessful-bid deposits are handled or rolled forward.]

Question 7

Is my deposit refundable?

Accepted Answer

[EDITABLE: state your deposit amount, what it secures, and the exact conditions under which it is refundable or applied to the purchase.] A written deposit and authorization agreement is provided before any funds are collected.

Question 8

Can I inspect the vehicle before bidding?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to request an inspection. Many auction vehicles can be inspected by a third-party service or the auction's own condition service before the sale, but this depends on the location, the sale timeline and the seller. Where an in-person inspection is not possible, we review all available condition reports and photos with you.

Question 9

Are auction vehicles sold as-is?

Accepted Answer

Most dealer-auction vehicles are sold as-is with no warranty. Some sales carry limited arbitration rights through the auction for specific disclosed issues. We explain what protection, if any, applies to a particular vehicle before you authorize a bid.

Question 10

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

We can assist with financing guidance and documentation. Approval, rates and terms come from the lender, not from us. [EDITABLE: list any lending partners or programs you want named here.]

Question 11

Can you ship vehicles nationwide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate open or enclosed transportation from the auction or selling dealer to your delivery address anywhere in the United States. You receive a transportation estimate as part of your cost breakdown before authorizing a bid.

Question 12

Who handles taxes, title and registration?

Accepted Answer

Taxes, title and registration are governed by your state and county. We assist with the paperwork and title processing and tell you what to expect, but the amounts are set by your jurisdiction. [EDITABLE: describe which states you can process registration in directly.]

Question 13

How much does your service cost?

Accepted Answer

The initial consultation is always free. Sourcing engagements are either a flat fee of $500–$2,500 depending on vehicle type and search complexity, or 1–4% of the vehicle purchase price for higher-value sourcing. You receive a full written cost breakdown — auction fees, transport, taxes and our fee — before you commit to any purchase.

Question 14

How long does it take to find a vehicle?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on how specific the request is and how often matching vehicles run. Common configurations can appear within days; rare trims, colors or low-mileage examples can take several weeks of monitoring sale calendars. We keep you updated as the search progresses.
