Inspection Pricing
Most single vehicle Pre Purchase inspections at the Mecum auction cost $400. Inspections requiring additional work will be quoted individually. Because many clients are interested in multiple lots, I will be happy to give a discounted quote for any amount of cars that may be considered. I encourage this due to the amount of like cars, any of which may be a great opportunity.
Please Contact to arrange the inspection of the cars that you are interested in. I’m always happy to tailor the auction inspection services to best fit your needs.

The Bid Goes On
The Bid Goes On desk provides a great service at the auction. Negotiating on a lot that has already crossed the block and did not sell can present a great opportunity to work with Mecum’s dedicated staff to make a deal on car at favorable terms. As your authorized bidder, we can present an offer and negotiate the purchase of a car that is still available.
