Car sourcing questions, answered.

Once you approve a specific car and the maximum you're authorizing us to spend, you pay a purchase deposit before we bid or buy. Minimums are $1,000 for cars under $10K, $2,000 for $10K–$19,999, $3,000 for $20K–$29,999, $5,000 for $30K–$49,999 and 10% for $50K and up. The deposit is credited toward the vehicle — it is not an extra charge. You can also fund the full authorized amount up front if you prefer.

Refundability, cancellation terms, what happens if we don't win a vehicle, and payment deadlines are all written into your signed customer agreement before any bid or purchase. Read it, ask us anything, and only sign when it's clear.

No. A deposit alone never triggers a bid. You review the available photos, disclosures and condition information, approve that specific car and set your maximum price first. We don't bid above the maximum you authorize.

We buy through dealer-only wholesale auctions like Manheim, plus other dealer-to-dealer channels. That's inventory the public normally can't access, from across the country — not just what's sitting on one lot.

No. We're based in Houston, TX and serve customers anywhere in the United States. We source nationwide and arrange transport to your door or to a pickup point near you. Transport is shown as its own line — never buried.

Auctions use lights and announcements to describe the terms a car is sold under. Broadly, green is the seller's lower-risk representation, yellow means specific announced conditions apply, and red means the car is sold as-is. Rules vary by auction, and sale lights are not warranties. Arbitration rights vary too, and may be limited or unavailable on as-is sales — we walk you through the terms on any car before you approve it.

Clean title only is the default for most buyers. If you're open to other title statuses — such as rebuilt or salvage-branded titles — tell us on the form and we'll show you any branded-title car before you approve it. Nothing with a branded title gets bought without your clear OK.

Yes, and we recommend it. Independent inspection is recommended wherever it's available, and some auctions offer post-sale inspections on eligible vehicles. Ask us about inspection options on the specific car you're considering.

Your total is the vehicle acquisition price, auction/acquisition costs, transport, and our flat sourcing fee. Tax, title and registration (TTL) are separate and depend on your state and situation. Every line is disclosed before you commit.

It depends on how specific the request is, your budget, and what's running through the auctions. Common cars at realistic budgets move fastest; rare trims and tight budgets take longer. Tell us your timeline on the form and we'll be straight with you about whether it's realistic.

Yes. Along with retail customers, we wholesale vehicles and source to spec for dealers, independent lots and flippers. Tell us your buy list or ask about current wholesale units.
