This place is a total Rip-off, a bunch of crooks working together to extract the savings of poor people, trying to get a good vehicle to better their life. It is a total waste of time , and you'll definitely regret it if you invest with them. There is tiny way, you would be happy with a transaction with these people.

I have been to different auctions before, and this is the only place where you don't check vehicles while they are being driven through the line. These people will keep you behind a yellow line, and occasionally open the doors for you to look at the interior ; and bid from far away. The interior is just a minor detail on a vehicle (people are most interested by ENGINE & TRANSMISSION)

I was there Wed Mar 2nd 2011. We bid on a 2002 Ford Focus for $2,500.00.. From $2,500, we end up paying $3,669.
 -$2,500 for the car
 -$99 Auction Fee
 -$151 Documentation Fee
 -$400 Buyer Premium Fee  (What the h*ll is the buyer Premium fee? ) this is just a calamity
 -$519 Taxes (they charge the taxes on a subtotal of $3150...First of all, the taxes are supposed to be charged on the car price of $2500. On top of that, these people charge approximately 18% of taxes, which is 8% more than the department of revenue).

They are smart on the fact of collecting 25% of the bid price, before you even have a chance of looking at the car and actually inspecting it. Therefore, it will be a hard decision to back up. We picked the car on Thursday March 3rd 2011. After driving 20 min on the way to North Chicago, the car died on us right on Lake Shore Drive. We then towed it to a mechanic, and still waiting for his diagnostic.

I sincerely believe this place should be closed and these people out of business. These are some crooks, some criminals. If you decide to try that place, just take a look at them, take a good look at them and let your guts decide. I pray & hope this place closes soon
