Very disappointed experience with this auction, I sold a 2014 focus for $1150 and I was told that I’m getting charged only around $150 but after I got the check in the mail, I got only $500 not even half of the check.

First experience with buying a car at the auto auction; always had my doubts but with limited finances and being on fixed income this was my most affordable option. The staff was great and the bidding experience was exciting but however one of the things I hate the most is not being able to test drive the cars.. but understable to the rules but this 2010 Nissan rogue after picking it up the next day I begin to notice a clunking sound going over bumps. Then at once abs light, brake light, awd light and, AWD lock light all came on as well as the heat, remind you all at once while driving. what I originally thought was the need for a bad wheel alignment when I first pulled away started to show as much much more. Just got it on the 21st of September I understand it's a as is purchase but same day things begin. Some things also are safety concerns dealing with the braking system and such which was not noted. Not fair but I will say if you go here take a mechanic or someone with you that knows cars because your dealing with experience crafty money making individuals. It's sad everywhere you go someone out to get over on you! I just struggle to get my money up to get this vehicle now I have to park on the side of the house waiting to get my money up before I can go get it safe to drive not Fair

Whats lay way plan

Sonia Pate | Nov 4, 2019
Greater Detroit Auto Auction | Nov 4, 2019

Normally at auction when you win a vehicle you have 2 business days to pay entire balance of vehicle. GDAA offers the layaway plan which give you up to 6 weeks to pay off the vehicle. No payments are required and no penalties for paying vehicle off early. Customer must put half the total price of vehicle down including all fees within 2 business days of purchase. Then they have 6 weeks to complete transaction. Vehicle stays at GDAA until paid in full. Once again no payments are required or accepted, just bring in the balance within the layaway time frame and drive your new car home.

And do they do the cars for half off?and what all do u gotta have after u purchase the car to drive off the lot?

Demante Solomon | Nov 4, 2019
Greater Detroit Auto Auction | Nov 4, 2019

Sorry we do not have half off Vehicles although you may feel like you are paying half off on some cars because they are sold at great deals. You need drivers license, plates and insurance to drive away. Of course payment for vehicle also....you are also allowed to have vehicle towed out.....we partner with LA insurance if you need insurance and we handle all the Sec. Of State paperwork and plates for you.

What is the highest year cars they have?and do they do the cars half off with the bridge card?
