BUYING A VEHICLE:

You can proceed to the front office and our friendly staff will give you the amount due on your purchase. Remember, the successful bid amount DOES NOT include Michigan sales tax, title fee, document fee, buyer’s fee or license plate fees. The balance can be paid with cashiers checks, certified checks, or money orders. Debit Cards are also accepted with a 3% fee. NO CASH IS ACCEPTED
3. Do I need proof of insurance on the vehicle purchased?
Yes, if you need to purchase license plates, you MUST have insurance on the new vehicle. Your receipt that you receive at the auction block for your $400.00 deposit will have the vehicle description and the vehicle identification number required to obtain insurance.(Proof of insurance can be faxed to our office.) There is a fee for the license plates as required by the State of Michigan and will be determined by your birthday and type of vehicle purchased. If you have valid license plates that can be transferred to the new vehicle, we will need the registration and license plate. The fee to transfer license plates is determined by the State of Michigan.
