Every line, out in the open.
On a dealer lot, the profit is baked into the sticker and you never see it. With us, you see the price the car was bought for, the auction and transport costs, and our fee — as separate lines.
Start my searchWhy not just buy from a dealer?
Stop paying the
retail markup.
A dealer buys at auction, adds markup, reconditioning and fees, and sells you the result at retail. We buy the car you choose at auction and charge one flat fee — and you see every line.
$3,000 example difference
Illustrative example, not a quote or a promise of savings. The dealer price is a hypothetical retail listing for a comparable car; real retail prices, auction results and costs vary, and TTL applies either way. Try the estimator with a real listing you've found.
When a dealer may be the better fit
We'd rather tell you up front. A dealer lot can make more sense if you need a car today, want to test-drive the exact car before you buy, or want a dealer-backed warranty or in-house financing. If you can wait a little and want the real numbers, that's where we come in.
Deposits
Your deposit goes
toward your car.
Once you approve a specific car and maximum price, a purchase deposit is required before we bid or buy for you. It's credited to the vehicle balance — not an extra charge.
Before we bid
You approve the car first.
A deposit never triggers a bid on its own. You review the available information, approve the specific car and set your maximum authorized purchase amount first.
Full funding
Prefer to fund it all?
You can put up the full authorized purchase amount before bidding. Any unused amount is handled exactly as your signed purchase agreement states.
Minimum deposits are shown by price range. Your deposit can be higher depending on the vehicle, auction, condition, purchase amount or transaction risk. Refundability, cancellation terms, auction outcomes and payment deadlines are spelled out in your signed customer agreement before any bid or purchase.
