Preliminary Bidding Feature and Details on How Preliminary Bidding works:

• A Majority of Insurance Auctions, Salvage Auctions, and Auction Pool companies can sell only to a limited number of licensed and registered license Salvage Dismantlers, and Dealers. We possess all proper licenses and registrations, giving us the ability to buy any vehicle for you anywhere in the country. Even where some states require special bid cards, where even dealers are not permitted to bid Salvage World Auctions can bid for you!

• The actual live auction for this vehicle is not open to public, so unfortunately there is no way for you to participate in it although you can participate in Preliminary Bidding. We will collect your bids and then present them during the live auction.

Bid Submission

• Our model is COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT. You should enter your ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM bid. You are submitting a PROXY bid. When we bid with the insurance company or at the live auction, we will try to aquire the vehicle as inexpensive as possible, and will only bid incrementally against other buyers up to your maximum amount. Sometimes, even though we are the highest bidder, insurance auctions and companies have a RESERVE price, which means they have the right to reject the bid even though you are the highest offer. They have the option of re- auctioning the vehicle or we have the option of increasing your bid.

• Your total purchase price will consist, in part, of the actual sale price at the auction, as well as all applicable auction fees and INSURANCE AUCTIONS Inc or other broker service fees. Please use our "Fee Calculator" to obtain a cost estimate. Your bid represents your total liability before addition of fees as above. Because of our special relationships in the industry, there is no warranty or guarantee that your final bid will be equal to the winning auction amount. We often are required to pay administrative fees, broker fees, bulk sales fees, and agent costs in order to obtain the best prices. We do insure, however, that you will never pay more than your approved maximum bid before the addition of auction and service fees.

• Most Insurance Auctions have the preliminary bidding option available to its buyers. Our system will automatically poll them and update the current auction price on our site. However, during the live auction the bidding usually goes much higher. Please do not rely heavily on the current auction price and place your ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM bid, because once the auction is over, we will not be able to increase your bid.

Please note, if you are the highest bidder during the live sale and the reserve has not been met the vehicle can still be sold to you while its on seller' approval.

LIVE ON PHONE BIDDING

Every vehicle with a bidding option allows you to request live on the PHONE BIDDING with one of our registered affiliate buyers nationwide through I Bid Solutions who represent the vehicle live at auctions nationwide and or online through their broker accounts. If you submit a live on the phone request you will recieve and email with approximate time of the sale and one of our support representatives will put you in touch with the affiliate buyer from I Bid Solutions for an additional fee of $100 dollars , 5 minutes before the bidding starts. During your item at the live sale the representative will tell you the current bid amounts and you will tell them to bid or stop. Please keep in mind you need to answer quickly go or stop because auctioneers at live auctions lay down the hammer and sometimes take favoritism over buyers they see weekly at the sale rather than someone online clicking a button who is taking their time. Please note the sales are very quick and there are only 3 seconds between bids.

BUY NOW OPTION

Vehicles listed with the "BUY NOW" option can be purchased at the indicated price instantly with the click of a button for "FUNDED" customers only. As soon as you receive an email with the confirmation of the purchase, please sign all documents and send back with proof of payment to our billing department. Every auction vehicle has an auction fee. Prior to bidding please check the auction calendar. We have the largest selection of buy now vehicles in the world available to the public. Take a quick look and contact us today, we strongly urge using instavin.com to check vehicle history reports prior buying or placing any offers.

Welcome to SalvageWorldAuctions My Guide

This guide is intended to help first time bidders get a feel for our site. It is a step by step guide required to successfully purchase an auction vehicle through our site. The process itself is very simple... let's begin!

1. Register as a SalvageWorldAuctions user.

By registering on our website you are allowed to submit offers (bids) on any vehicle, motorcycle or specialty unit that we have to offer. Non-registered users are only able to browse the website but cannot submit any offers.

2. If you are already registered, start browsing our inventory.

Now that you are a registered SalvageWorldAuctions user, you can browse and bid on any of our vehicles in the database. Once you have found the vehicle you like, please be sure to view the pictures to see all the damage/problems with the car; details are minimal because this is the standard information provided by the auction. Also, please note that all auctions are set to "go live" on a certain day.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Most Bids must be submitted by 12:00AM EST the night before an auction begins in order for your bid to be processed properly. The count-down auction timer associated with your selected vehicle denotes the proper time left to submit a valid bid. WE HAVE EXTENDED AUCTION TIME TO MIDNIGHT TO ALLOW TIME FOR OUR EUROPEAN, AFRICAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN CUSTOMERS.

3. How to properly bid on a vehicle.

We do not require credit cards to bid on any of our vehicles. However, remember that bidding on a car enters you into an agreement with Salvage World Auctions for us to pursue the purchase of your vehicle. If our affiliated dealers win this auction, full payment will be due by the end of the 2nd business day from the invoice being posted to your account. To read the entire insurance auction item purchase Terms and Conditions, please click here.

Your offer, once accepted, constitutes a binding contract. Place an offer only if you're serious about buying the item. By having the highest eligible offer that's accepted, you automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item. Please contact us should you have any questions before placing any offer.

PLEASE REMEMBER: EVEN THOUGH THE AUCTION MIGHT STATE THAT THE KEYS ARE PRESENT, THEY ARE
FREQUENTLY LOST OR STOLEN AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO COME WITH YOUR PURCHASE.

4. Do not get discouraged! Simple steps to realistic bidding.

At times, even though you might be the Highest Offer or Bid at an auction the Insurance Company can still reject your offer. Most of the vehicles offered by the Insurance Companies have a minimum "value". These cars will not be released for less than that value, however, that value is not (and will never be) disclosed publicly.

Please remember to bid with these facts in mind (always look to blue book values for guidance, research your vehicle thoroughly!). In order for us to have the highest probability of acquiring your vehicle, make sure your offer is 'realistic'. For example, having a winning bid of $1,000 on a 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo, even with heavy damage, does not constitute a realistic offer (the vehicle has a much higher "value" to the Insurance Company).

5. Funding your account.

By depositing funds to your account, we can securely submit your offer to the insurance company that is handling your vehicle. Without a deposit, we will NOT pursue the acquisition of your vehicle. Please remember that all deposits must be submitted before 8:00AM EST the same day of the bidding period ending. For west coast vehicles deposits must be submitted before 2:00 PM EST. Currently, we are accepting multiple methods of payment: Credit Card for deposits only, Global PayX payment solutions by Western Union, Official Bank Cashier's Checks and Wire Transfers. Global PayX and or Credit Card deposits are the quickest way to initially fund your account. Once we have your cleared payment, we will update your Salvage World Auctions Account and you can go to the my account section to monitor such transactions. Click here for instructions on how to submit funds into your account.
If you deposit funds into your account and your offer is rejected by the Insurance Company, the funds remain in your account until either a refund is requested or an item is purchased on your behalf.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you have the highest eligible offer, and do not submit the required security deposit
($500 or 10% of the total offer amount, whichever is greater) for the item that you intend to purchase,
your account will be PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Credit Card refunds may take 5-7 business days. Reason for this ,is we want to discourage customers from bidding on one vehicle then, ask for a refund. Probability of getting the first vehicle you place a bid on, usually does not happen unless you have experience in the industry and are realistic. Our experience when it comes to salvage cars for sale and to bid, we noticed customers start to get the hang of bidding, and start to feel more comfortable with our Global Insurance Auction Consultants after the first two to three weeks of placing offers on numerous vehicles. We encourage you once you have placed a deposit, to place bids on at least 10 to 20 vehicles. This way our consultant can advise you of the best vehicle to go for that would be the best price. Some insurance companies get higher prices in different States because labor to repair them is much less. Or an Exporter can pay much more for a vehicle because labor in other countries is much cheaper than it is in the United States. Our Site updates twice a day with 1000's of new cars every day twice a day.

6. What happens when my offer is submitted to the insurance auction?

Once you are the highest bidder at the end of an offer period and your account is funded our system will submit your offer as a preliminary bid to the insurance auction that your Car is being sold in over night. You will be notified the following morning via your, my offers section if your offer your offer was rejected. If it is rejected one our associates Will contact you via telephone to offer you the chance to submit a higher offer one last time. Your offer will be accepted verbally, however you must email our office a revised offer for the Item number for Salvage-world to submit once again.

If one of our Insurance Vehicle Auction Consultants does not contact you, please call our office or email us via the contact us section of the site We can not submit offers after 9:00 am eastern time so it important that we discuss your outbid offer before 9:00 am. Even the day before the sale works.

7. What happens to the funds in my account if my offer is not accepted and the car I am working on is not purchased for me?

Your funds remain in your account for any future offers you wish to submit. There is no penalty for submitting offers on Salvage World Auctions. If at any time you wish to remove your funds from Your Salvage World Auctions account, you must request a refund via our website only. The request form is located in the About us section of the website. Refunds can take up to 30 days to be processed from the date of your request.

If you decide not to pay the full amount owed on your invoice, your vehicle will be "re-listed" and your security deposit will be forfeited. A security deposit is required to cover the cost of re-listing the car for sale. This re-list fee is billed to Salvage World Auctions by the insurance company and we in turn bill the Salvage World Auctions customer.
