How will I know if the car even runs?

All vehicles are sold "as-is," meaning that we do not guarantee the vehicles start, run, or drive. Some vehicles are started during the auction and can be observed running by video, but we do not attempt to start all vehicles. Furthermore, buyers should not assume that running vehicles are road-worthy or can be operated safely in their current condition. All vehicles should be inspected by a qualified professional before they are driven on public roads.
