DEPOSIT / PAYMENT

The winning bidder MUST make a deposit of $200 within 72 hours of the end of the auction (except where the total cost of the vehicle (including the $99 Documentation and Vehicle Preparation Fee) is less than $200, in which event payment in full is required). For example, if the winning bid for a vehicle is $700, the winning bidder must make a deposit of $200 within 72 hours, leaving a balance due of $599. If the winning bid for a vehicle is $100, the winning bidder must make payment in full of $199 within 72 hours, leaving no balance due.

This deposit or payment must be paid by CREDIT CARD, MONEY ORDER, or CASHIER'S CHECK.
