AUCTION (SELLER) GUARANTEE – DAY OF SALE ONLY!

SELLER warrants the vehicle to have good internally lubricated components of the engine, differential and transmission.  (In simple terms --- a good transmission & engine.)  Also includes ABS Brake System and Torque Converter.  If ABS and/or Check Engine lights are “on”, this voids the Auction Guarantee.  Vehicle sold for $1000 or less will automatically be sold “AS IS”.  The seller has the option to Auction Guarantee the vehicle if or when the bidding exceeds $1000.

Manufacturer’s Vehicle Warranty supersedes Auction Guarantee.

 SOME ITEMS NOT COVERED BY AUCTION GUARANTEE include, but are not limited to, normal wear items (such as brakes or clutches), all visual defects, visual fluid leaks, interior components, tires, basic brake system, exhaust system, battery, power accessories, belts, hoses, suspension system, SV or U-joints, hubs, wheel bearings, and motor or transmission mounts.

 ARBITRATION – If the cost to repair any single defect EXCEEDS $300, the vehicle is subject to arbitration and is covered by this guarantee.  Auction opinion on arbitration is FINAL!!  Arbitration must be completed by 5:00 P.M. day of sale!!
