Premier and Pro members can view and inspect any model vehicle in person themselves, with a car enthusiastic friend, or by hiring a third-party inspector up to 1 hour before the live auction starts. We highly encourage all bidders to inspect repairable vehicles before placing bids to get data on the condition of the car, as all without inspections sold are "as is, where is”.
