A ‘Test Drive’ is not a full mechanical inspection and will not reveal all mechanical issues. We are not guaranteeing the condition of the vehicle from our test drive. Our descriptions are for informational purposes and are not a warranty guaranteeing the condition of the vehicle. All vehicles are sold as is/where is with no warranty, No returns, No refunds, No money back guarantee. As with all used cars, any vehicle may come with typical used car issues, including mechanical issues and past due maintenance. The listed "Retail Book value" is simply the book value of the vehicle if it was in pristine condition. This does not account for the actual condition of the vehicle with any mechanical issues or damages or rust and should only be used as a guide.
We do not allow inspections after the auction ends. Pick up day is not inspection day. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Pickups occur after the auction ends. Should you see a finger pointing at something in our inspection, it is to be made clear that the item being pointed at was not currently working at the time of inspection. For example, if a finger is pointing at the trunk, that would mean the trunk does not open.

For out-of-state buyers and dealers, the title will be mailed within 31 days. Please note that if you reside in the state of Iowa, it may take longer than 31 days as Iowa does not accept MN reassignment, requiring us to obtain a new title before mailing it to you.
