Other Online Auctions

Vehicle condition is often self-reported by sellers or based on inspection standards that can vary widely.

Most rely on basic 1 to 5 condition grades and standard photos. Advanced tools like undercarriage imaging or engine sound analysis are often not included.

Buyers often have to switch between seller lanes or locations. Sorting is typically limited to basics such as make, model, and year.

Higher seller reserves are common, and zero-dollar reserve vehicles are often limited or inconsistent.

Transport is usually handled separately and may involve multiple vendors and systems.

Financing often relies on external providers and a less streamlined checkout process.

Need to visit multiple sites and rely on phone calls or email for support.
