11. Is there a warranty or guarantee when I buy a car?
A: Most vehicles running through the auction are sold “AS IS”. These cars are indicated by a red light in our lighting system. Cars that are indicated by a green light are called “Drive” cars. If you purchase a car indicated by a green light, you have one hour to test drive the car. If there is a problem with the engine, transmission, or rear end and the repairs would cost in excess of $500.00, you may arbitrate the deal. Any car purchased for less than $2000.00 or is thirteen years or older, is automatically an “AS IS” vehicle.
