Preliminary bidding is the process of bidding online prior to the start of live auction. Bidders enter a maximum bid for the vehicle they would like to purchase.

Before you can place a bid, you must first become a FREE member of Tow Auctions.Then you are able to bid on vehicles. However you must be careful and if you win multiple bids on multiple vehicles then you are required to pay for all. Tow Auctions like to believe that all responsible adult member’s and bidders understand that they must finish all successful high bids with payment and timely pick up of the vehicle/s.

NOTES:  #1 Bidders/Member’s that do not pay for the vehicles they win as per terms and conditions will be BANNED from future auctions. #2 Tow Auctions at their discretion may come in on newer Members/bidders and cancel bids if management feels that too many bids are being placed and are giving an unfair disadvantage to the overall bidding process.

No. Some vehicles are listed as “Buy It Now.” You can purchase these vehicles immediately without going through the auction process.

You can begin bidding immediately after you become a free approved member of Tow Auctions.

Each auction has a “Time Left” indicator at the top right of the auction box. This will inform you how long you have to place your bid.

Once you submit your bid, you cannot lower or cancel it. Please bid responsibly.

Your bidding limit is the maximum you are able to bid at any given time. It also restricts how many vehicles you can bid on at one time. The bidding limit is determined by your overall bidding actions. TOW AUCTIONS at any time can come in and manage bids if needed to create a fair and enjoyable bidding environment.

Yes. Unlike other auction sites you are allowed to bid on more than 1 vehicle but the bidder/member will need to pay for all vehicles within the terms and agreements. Buyer fees are charged on all winning bids even if the member /bidder do not follow through on purchase of high bid vehicles.

NOTE: Any buyer/member that fails to pay for a won vehicle auction shall be banned from future bidding at TOW AUCTIONS and its affiliate sites.

If you win the preliminary bid, you will automatically be represented by the Tow Auctions system on the vehicle page. You can also continue to keep up to date of your auction bids as the auction matures.

The bid amount ONLY includes the price you are willing to pay for the vehicle. Auction fees, Tow Auctionsbuyers’ fees, documentation fees, and transportation costs are NOT INCLUDED in the bid and will be added. The seller facility terms and conditions shall outline their fee structure and what a bidder/member can expect. The only fee to TOW AUCTIONS is their buyers fee. TOW AUCTIONS does not charge a SELLERS FEE of any kind.

As a courtesy, we may notify you if your bid is no longer the highest. For the best chance at winning the vehicle, enter the absolute MAXIMUM you are willing to pay for the vehicle.

If you place a bid and you are a registered approved bidder the bid will become active on the auction that the member/bidder places.

There is no security deposit required by the TOW AUCTIONS buying bidder. Unlike many other Auto Auction Sites they require a deposit. Here at Tow Auctions we expect serious buyers with mature and accurate bidding and buying practices. Our only recourse we have to “DEAD BEAT BIDDERS,” is the ability to inconvenience the buyer with a re-list of the vehicle and life – time ban of the nonpaying bidder.

Here at TOW AUCTIONS we have expectations of accurate descriptions of all vehicles listed by the selling facilities as far as they know. What this means is that through pictures and description here on TOW AUCTIONS you will have a very good representation of the vehicle condition. TOW AUCTIONS expects that all seller facilities when listing their vehicles for auction give only descriptions of the known factors of the vehicle.

NOTE: Please as a bidder/member it is important that you please do not read into the vehicle condition unless directly described on the vehicle listing page. Vehicles have hundreds of moving parts and being optimistic in the vehicle you are bidding on is positive but may not be realistic. Most used cars will need some level of TLC. Only NEW VEHICLES have no TLC needed. This translates that sometimes there are disappointments but seller facilities have no intention of misrepresentation to sell vehicles. This is not the norm. TOW AUCTIONS has a zero policy to known misrepresentation and take appropriate actions to secure the purchase of all bidder/members.

This is a difficult area of representation. In the description the bidder/member that the vehicle starts and drives, this means that it will start on its own and go into gear and move an inch or two. Please realize that this does not characterize the vehicle as a good dependable car. Unless you see in the description of the vehicle listing page that this vehicle has been road driven and runs and drives good do not assume that this is a running daily driver with no TLC needed. Sometimes a Car is listed vehicle will start when jumped due to a dead or bad battery. We at TOW AUCTIONS actually believe that most vehicles purchased here should be towed to the buyers residence and or shop of choice. The logic is even the best of cars that sit for a time like many of these do in storage are in need of some types of attention.

If the vehicle has a key it is explicitly told in the information of the Vehicle Listing Details Page. If it does not then they are not coming with the sale of the vehicle.

NOTE: No keys many times will make the moving of the vehicle very difficult and will have no starting and running capabilities. Most times the securing of the keys and the cost will be that of the buyer/ high bidder/member with little assistance if any from the Selling Facility. Please keep this in mind as a vehicle with no keys is more difficult to pick up and/or ship if at all with no keys.

All vehicles displayed on our website are sold “as-is where is”. It is important to understand that the photos shown on the website do not show the undercarriage or other latent defects. It is important to expect that used vehicles sold here at TOW AUCTIONS very likely may have addition unforeseen damage. This is normal for this kind of an auction and why most buyer/member/high bidder gets a great deal.

NOTE: Please realize that the best candidate/s to win these types of vehicles either are familiar with the mechanics of vehicles and/or have good affordable mechanical resources available to you.

Tow Auctions does not have information on repair costs for specific vehicles. Nor should you feel comfortable with repair costs if given unless they are estimated by an entity that you know or do business with. Repair cost estimation is a very difficult and there could be huge variations depending on the estimators used.

This process differs, state to state and rules and regulations of the state and the professionalism of the selling facility are all factors to getting your title. The best scenario is the selling facility upon payment of the vehicle(s) hands the member/high bidder/buyer documents to legally transfer the vehicle or the vehicle(s) title itself.

NOTE: In the information of the vehicle listing page the total status is clearly described. It is imperative that this is accurate information and TOW AUCTIONS has expectations that the status is accurate. I.e. if the vehicle is for parts only or states that Bill of Sale, then it is important to expect that you will not be able to legally register the vehicle.

TOW AUCTIONS depends on the reported status of the title of any listed vehicle. Most times clean titles are not guaranteed and can become salvage under new ownership transfer as per NMVTIS regulations.

NOTE: Please realize that this is not intentional by the selling facility and if TOW AUCTIONS were to see common occurrences of this practice not being the case the seller facility would look seriously be banned from http://www.towauctiosn.com. Honest representation of seller facilities  is very important to TOW AUCTIONS.

Tow Auctions account information should match your Driver’s License or State ID. Please realize that Selling Facilities have their own Term and Conditions of vehicle pick-up. many time it is not the Seller Facility making these rules but the State Laws and regulations that create the actual ID, nsurance and pick up procedures. Buyers are encourage to call the selling facilty for any and all ID clarifications.

Sometimes local laws and regulations require the originating companies to transfer the title to the state in question. There may be differences between title types and designations between states and falls under the “AS IS” element under TOW AUCTIONS “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”. AS long as the selling facility has shown good faith in the representation of the title and documents as they see it TOW AUCTIONS has done what is expected of for the buyer/high bidder/member.

To be clear TOW AUCTIONS feels one of the best ways to get a clear understanding of vehicle title status is “GOOGLE”, Vehicle Title Types. Here are a few examples you might see listed here. Salvage, Junk, Clear, Lemon Law, Flood, Reconstructed, Rebuilt etc.

Arrangements should be made with the understanding that all transactions should have been completed within three days after the winning bid and auction has completed. Additional charges from the seller facility may be incurred should the buyer/bidder/member pick up the vehicle after the three day period. This is very important to understand.

Tow Auctions only accepts US Dollars. Seller facilities only accepts US Dollars.

Under normal and typical circumstances the winning bidder will have 2 Charges due.

#1 TOW AUCTIONS will charge you the buyer’s fee as described above the same business day the high bid has been verified.

#2 The High bidder should contact the seller facility and pay the high bid plus any additional fees that seller facility might have. The high bidder should discuss with the seller facility how the vehicle will be picked up. Local pick up is easy with a simple tow if needed. However if shipping is being arranged it is important to establish that pick up may not be within the three days that the seller facility may have additional storage fees due .

Tow Auctions charges a flat fee of which is substantially less than many if not all main stream online auctions. Those that have bid on similar auction websites will enjoy the substantial savings from TOW AUCTIONS. TOW AUCTIONS also do not charge a fee to seller facilities to list their vehicles or any fees what so ever. This translates where a seller facility can sell to a buyer/bidder/member also savings that they can and may pass savings on to all vehicles purchased in lower sales prices .

BUYERS FEE SCHEDULE PER VEHICLE

$0.01 – $1500.                              $ 85.

$1500.01 – $2500.                       $ 99.

$2500.01 – $250,000.                 $125.

It is important to understand the laws of each state may vary upon the driving of a vehicle from the seller facility, so it is important that the high bidder be aware of those state rules and regulations. There might also be restrictions’ of the seller facility on how you remove the vehicle from their property. It is a good idea that you clarify this procedure with the seller facility before taking the efforts to pick up the vehicle won.

Most is three days from the close of the winning of the auction. It is a good thing to contact the seller facility and not only pay for the vehicle but also verifying the pick-up procedures from their property.
