The current bid is essentially the average price that the car is usually sold for at auctions. The current bid does not signify "that last bid" and it is simply a reference point that we give you to see the savings you will receive and also as a guideline on how much your bid should be in order to be successful in the auction and get the car you want.

What exactly is needed to validate my bid?
1. Pay the 10% deposit (refundable except for the one-time fee $199)
2. If you do not choose to finance, you must show Proof of Funds to cover cost beyond the 10% deposit
3. If you choose to finance, you must be in the preapproved status

Once we have all of this, we will send this information along with the key auction information to one of our registered dealers who will bid for you on the dream car that you selected.

What’s the difference between making a bid and the “buy it now” option?

If you are more than willing to meet with the price listed by the seller, you have the option to click on “buy it now” to purchase your desired car.

When you choose to take the bidding route, the amount you place for the bid is not public for the other participants, so you don't run into the issue of getting out bided right away. Also, depending on how much you bid for, the dealer will bid on your behalf at the minimum increments possible. That way, we’re doing our very best to get you your desired car at the best price up to your maximum bid.
