KNOW BEFORE YOU AUTHORIZE A PURCHASE

WE BELIEVE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY SHOULD COME WITH CLEAR INFORMATION

Before we present an option to you, we provide the available vehicle information for your review, including CARFAX, auction photos, condition reports, auction announcements, title and odometer status, vehicle history, market data, and available diagnostics when present.

We only begin searches that meet our operating criteria: clean title and a documented actual odometer. We do not place bids on salvage, rebuilt, TMU, or unverified-odometer vehicles, even at a client's request.

WHAT AVAILABLE INFORMATION CANNOT REPLACE

Auction vehicles are purchased under the conditions disclosed by the auction. There is no pre-purchase test drive. Photos, reports, history, and available diagnostics help reduce uncertainty, but they cannot reveal every mechanical, cosmetic, or prior issue.

WHEN A LOCAL VISUAL CHECK IS AVAILABLE

When a vehicle is available for local review and scheduling permits, we may provide additional photos, video, and visual observations. This does not replace a mechanical inspection or guarantee vehicle condition

COSTS, TIMING AND TITLE PROCESSING

Calculator figures and purchase scenarios are estimates. Auction fees, transport, taxes, registration, and delivery timing can vary by vehicle, location, auction, and state requirements. Title release and DMV processing may also take time after purchase.

OPTIONAL THIRD-PARTY PROTECTION

Eligible vehicles may qualify for optional third-party vehicle service contracts. Coverage, deductibles, exclusions, waiting periods, and claims are determined by the provider.

SERVICE FEES

YOUR MCS SERVICE FEE IS BASED ONLY ON THE WINNING BID
IF WE DON'T PURCHASE A VEHICLE FOR YOU, YOU DON'T PAY A SERVICE FEE

Winning bidService fee
Up to $3,000$300
$3,001 – $5,000$400
$5,001 – $7,500$550
$7,501 – $10,000$650
$10,001 – $15,000$750
$15,001 – $20,000$900
For winning bids above $20,000: $900 base, plus a flat amount per additional $2,500 (or portion thereof) +$50 / $2,500

The tier is set by one thing only: what the car actually sells for

DEPOSIT AND PURCHASE

Purchase completed: your deposit is applied to the amount due

No vehicle purchased: you may request a refund or keep your deposit on account while we continue the search

If My Car Scout wins a vehicle you authorized and you decide not to complete the purchase, the deposit is retained because the purchase creates auction obligations and penalties

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO I NEED A DEALER LICENSE?

No. My Car Scout searches wholesale auctions and purchases through a licensed dealer operation on your behalf. You do not need your own dealer license or auction account

CAN I CHOOSE THE CAR I WANT?

Yes. Tell us the vehicle, budget, mileage, and requirements that matter to you. We search for options that fit your criteria and present the available information for your review before any bid is placed

WHO DECIDES THE VEHICLE AND MAXIMUM BID?

You do. My Car Scout only places a bid after you approve the specific vehicle and authorize a maximum bid. We never bid above your approved limit

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T WIN THE VEHICLE?

We continue the search for another option if you wish. You do not pay a My Car Scout service fee unless a vehicle is purchased. Your deposit may be refunded or kept on account for the continued search, according to your choice

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A VEHICLE IS PURCHASED?

Your deposit is applied to the amount due. We coordinate the auction payment, title processing, and delivery or pickup arrangements. Timing can vary depending on the auction, title release, location, and destination

CAN I SEE OR TEST-DRIVE THE VEHICLE BEFORE BUYING?

Auction vehicles are purchased as-is and are not available for a pre-purchase test drive. When local review is available, we may provide additional photos, video, and visual observations. This does not replace a mechanical inspection or guarantee vehicle condition

DO YOU OFFER FINANCING?

Financing may be available through third-party lenders, subject to their approval, terms, and vehicle eligibility. Contact us so we can review your situation before moving forward

HOW DO I RECEIVE THE VEHICLE?

You may arrange pickup, authorize someone to collect it, or coordinate transportation to your location. We help coordinate the process based on the vehicle location and destination
