What the Post-Delivery Inspection Period Actually Entitles You To

The Safety Net

Online auctions let you buy sight-unseen, which only works because of the post-delivery inspection period. After the car arrives, you have time to verify it matches the listing.

What You Should Check

Go through the multi-point inspection report line by line. Check mileage, tire condition, and any cosmetic damage noted. Then have your own mechanic do a once-over if you can.

What Happens If Something's Off

If the car doesn't match its description or report, contact your Sales Agent within the window. Document everything with photos. Honest auctions resolve discrepancies - often with a partial refund or repair.

Why It Matters

This window is what separates reputable online auctions from risky blind purchases. Use it, and document everything.

This window is why I felt safe buying online. I used it to have my mechanic verify everything the day it arrived.
