Auction considers a vehicle sold when auctioneer says sold and recognizes bidder number on the auction floor. At this time, winning bidder is responsible to complete purchase transaction with Auction on auction day, including payment of vehicle.

Auction has not verified, and makes no representation or warranties as to the description, equipment, and odometer readings on any vehicle. Auction does not guarantee that the vehicles are in safe condition, or suitable for use on public roads or waterways. Buyer assumes the responsibility to verify all such representations and descriptions of catalog in relation to each lot number up for bid.

Buyer will examine and accept the vehicle in its present condition. All sales are final on an "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" basis, without warrantee or guarantee of any kind.
