Terms
Essen Motor Company, Inc. has been buying and selling cars wholesale all over the East Coast since 1995. For more information about our company, please visit our About Me page; a link to our website can be found there. Information regarding our status and obligations to buyers as a licensed and bonded dealer in the state of Tennessee can be found on our website.
About our eBay Auctions: We take our eBay auctions very seriously, and we expect all our bidders to do so as well. We must insist that all bidders read ALL the information on this page prior to asking questions. As a large dealer, we typically get between two to three HUNDRED emails everyday, in addition to about 100 phone calls; if you ask us a question that is answered in this eBay listing, your email will go straight to the spam box, and your phone message will likely go unanswered.
About our $299 Documentation fee: Effective May 11th 2008, all vehicles sold by Essen Motor Company, Inc., whether in person, over the phone, or through eBay, will be subject to a $299 documentation fee. This fee is IN ADDITION to any bid, verbal, or written offer. This fee, in accordance with the laws of the state of Tennessee, is a taxable part of the vehicle purchase price. The fee applies to ALL VEHICLE SALES, including those for vehicles intended to be used as parts cars or scrap metal, as well as sales to other dealers or wholesalers. This fee is nonnegotiable, and is used to defray office costs associated with vehicle sales. Vehicles sold prior to this date are still subject to the $198 documentation fee.
Other fees and taxes: All buyers residing in the state of Tennesee are responsible for local taxes and registration fees, including sales tax, which MUST be paid to us, since we a licensed dealer in Tennessee. Out of state buyers will sign paperwork stating the vehicle will not be registered in Tennessee.
By placing a bid on one of our auctions, you are entering a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. By bidding, you the bidder agree that any legal dispute arising from this transaction will be arbitrated or resolved in the State of Tennessee, under the Jurisdiction of Tennessee courts and pursuant to the laws of the state of Tennessee. By bidding, you understand that you cannot cancel this contract without penalty.
Our CarFax Policy: Due to the high cost of Carfax for Automobile Dealers, we do NOT offer Carfax reports for the vehicles we sell. We do recommend that EVERYONE buy a 30 day Carfax subscription if they are really in the market for a used car. The cost, which is only around $30, is much less than the hassle you would have to go through to ask every person selling their car if they have run a Carfax. Plus, you can check out any cars you own to make sure they are what you think they are!
Other Terms and Conditions Deadbeat Bidders: We will pursue bidders who do not fulfill their obligations, also known as deadbeat bidders, to the fullest extent of the law. The high bidder on a car will own the car at the end of the auction as long as the reserve is met. Winners of auctions who do not submit their deposit within the allotted time period will be held liable for all costs associated with the auction including but not limited to the full purchase price of auction, court and lawyer costs, storage costs, refurbishment costs, and lost profits. Do not bid unless you have the funds available to purchase the vehicle at the time you place your bid. Make sure you have financing arranged BEFORE placing a bid on a vehicle. Most lending institutions will not loan on a vehicle over a certain age or mileage, so it is imperative you tell your bank exactly what you plan to spend the money for BEFORE you bid. Having your financing fall through is not an excuse to be a deadbeat bidder.
We have already heard all of your excuses for not wanting to pay for a vehicle you bought: Someone got my password and bid without me knowing; I bid the wrong amount; my mother/father/sister/brother/uncle died/got hit by a car/got cancer/ needed to borrow the money; I hit buy it now by mistake; my son/daughter/wife/cat/ bid by accident; I did not read everything before I bid; I did not think I would win; I did not think you would sell the car so cheap. If you can think it up, we have probably already heard it. Enjoy coming to Knoxville, Tennessee, and explaining to the judge how that should obviate you from a contract you entered. It is very simple: bidding is a 3 step process and there is no way you can do it on accident all 3 times. So if you do win any of our auctions and you give us any of the above excuses or make up another one, you are agreeing for us to sue you in the State of Tennessee under the Uniform Commercial Code of Breach of Contract of a Volume Seller. By bidding on our auctions, you are also agreeing to pay for all of our Legal Fees, court costs, investigative costs, travel and hotel expenses, lost profits, and any other costs that may arise, with compounding interest at the highest rate allowable by law. We are so sick of bidders that just bid and come up with pathetic excuses that we are going to sue each and every one of you and go after your bank account, cars, property, paycheck liens, and anything else we can get our hands on.
All vehicles are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. All vehicles are sold with no warranty, expressed or implied, in accordance with the laws in the State of Tennessee. Statements about fitness of purpose or condition made via telephone, email, or other form of communication do not constitute a warranty. Buyers who will be shipping or flying in to pick up a vehicle are asked to inspect vehicles or have them inspected by a third party before they leave our premises. Third party inspection services are available through a number of sources at a reasonable cost. By not inspecting the vehicle prior to pickup, you waive any rights you might have to argue the vehicle was not as described.
Once a vehicle leaves our lot, we can no longer be held responsible for the vehicle. Under no circumstances will we pay for shipping to or from a customer. We cannot know if a car has ever been in an accident or ever had major mechanical issues unless we have owned the car it's entire life and sellers who tell you otherwise are not being completely truthful.
Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for ALL shipping costs. We can and will assist buyers in pick-up or shipping, whether that means working with shipper to get a vehicle on a truck, or picking up the buyer from the airport if possible, but we will not cover ANY costs for ANY reason. In addition, please keep in mind that we do not have normal business hours and all pickup times should be confirmed with us prior to making reservations!
We do reserve the right to end any listing early due to sale through another venue. There are times when the vehicle will be sold outside of eBay on its final day of bidding, and we will not be able to take it off eBay. If this situation arises, we will inform the high bidder within 1 hour of the auction closing. Our only and maximum liability to a bidder in these situations is a $100 discount off your next vehicle purchase from Essen Motor Company, Inc.

Hey! Why did you cancel my bid/why can't I bid on this auction?

To make sure your bid is not canceled, please email us your full name, then make and VIN number of the vehicle you are interested in, your address, phone number, and the best time to reach you at that number prior to bidding.

What? You sold that car for that little? I would have paid you more! You can't even begin to imagine how often we hear this, in particular on no-reserve vehicles as well as vehicles that don't have their reserves met and are taken off of eBay prior to the end of the auction. Usually, we try to time the end of our auctions with whole auction dates around the south east; the day after a car ends, it goes to a live, dealer-only auction where it may be sold for as little as $50 over the ending bid price. Sometimes, the timing doesn't hold up and we end up taking the car off eBay 24-48 hours before the end of the auction to sell it at one of these auctions. For this reason, it is VERY important that if you are seriously interested in a vehicle, you bid enough to meet the reserve early in the auction!
Will we take X amount of money for this vehicle, or what is the reserve price for this vehicle? We will not reveal reserve prices or accept email or eBay message offers for any of our auctions. To buy a vehicle over the internet, you MUST bid on it! We do accept offers in person.
