Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Every Car Can? We have the answers.

When are your auctions?

Our auctions are held every other Saturday in Dallas. Our preview day is Friday from 12pm to 5pm, and our auction starts at 9am on Saturday.

Are your auctions open to the public?

Yes.

When do I need to pay for my vehicle purchase?

Payments for vehicle purchases should be made on auction day (Saturday) by 3:00pm, or Monday from 8:00am–4:00pm following the auction at the latest.

Can I test drive the vehicles?

No, but our mechanics check out the vehicles to give you an idea of what may be wrong with them prior to purchase.

Can I see what is wrong with a car I am interested in?

Yes. Our preview day is Friday from 8am to 5pm. You cannot open the hoods or start the cars, but you can open the doors and see what the mechanic wrote on the windshield.

Can I sell my car at your auction?

We do accept private consignments. Visit our Consignment page for more information.

What is a buyer's premium?

A Buyer's Premium is added to the selling price of each item; it is an agreed-upon cost to pay for the costs of the auctioneers. See the sliding scale and price calculator on our Auction Fees page.

What happens if I do not pay for the vehicle?

The $200 deposit is forfeited, the vehicle is put back into inventory, and if you want to bid again we will require a $500 deposit.

If I don't win the item I bid on, will my deposit be refunded?

Yes. We WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD unless you win the auction — we only place a hold for the amount of the deposit until the end of the auction. The hold will be released in 5–10 business days depending on your bank's policy.

What is the average price range I can expect when attending an auction?

The price varies by item, the number of people at the auction, and demand. Bidding starts at $200.

Can I register in person?

You can register online at any time by creating a new account and placing your refundable $200 deposit. We do not accept in-person registrations for our online-only auction.

What type of payments do you accept?

Cash, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover are accepted for payment exceeding the cash deposit. When registering online, your deposit will be a HOLD placed on your credit card (not a charge) until the end results of the auction. The hold will be released in 5–10 business days (depending on your bank's policy) if you do not win a bid.

Is there anything else I need to know before the auction on Saturday?

For more details on preparing for our vehicle auctions, please review our Auction Rules and Auction Fees section.

How do I create a bidder account?

To create a bidder account: click the Sign Up link and follow the instructions when prompted, enter a username and password, fill out your name and address, enter your credit card information, confirm an initial $200 deposit, then click Login.

How do I know if I have been outbid?

You will receive an email letting you know you have been outbid and giving you the opportunity to place a new bid.

What happens when another bidder's max bid is higher than mine?

When another bidder's bid amount is higher than your max-bid amount, their current high bid will be shown on the right of the item. You may enter a higher bid until 6am the day of the auction.

How do I become registered to participate as a dealer at your auctions?

To register, all dealers must have: a valid Driver's License and Social Security number for every authorized representative; a valid Dealer's License; a copy of the dealer's Surety Bond; a Company Check (showing the company name and address as shown on the Dealer License); and a Sales Tax Number, Employer Identification Number, and Federal Identification Number.

What do I need when I come to pay and pick up the car?

A valid, government-issued ID from the state or country you wish to register the vehicle in, and cash, credit card, or cashier’s check to complete the payment.

What type of vehicles do you have at your auction?

Our inventory varies from auction to auction. We average 125–200 vehicles per auction. The selection is wide and includes cars, SUVs, minivans, and much more. Please view our car and boat lists online at noon every Friday for an up-to-date list.
