PLEASE make sure to familiarize yourself with all of our terms and conditions, as you are agreeing to them when participating in our auction. If you do not agree or do not understand any of our terms and conditions, PLEASE contact Sierra for further clarification or DO NOT BID!

BIDDER DECLARATION

BY PARTICIPATING IN ANY OF OUR AUCTIONS I (the client) UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED BELOW, ESPECIALLY THE KEY TERMS THAT ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES. I AM SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE IDENTIFICATION, CONDITION, AND/OR USE OF ALL ITEMS PURCHASED. REFUNDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED AS A RESULT OF ANY DESCRIPTIVE ERROR GIVEN BY THE AUCTIONEER OR AS A RESULT OF MY FAILURE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY THE ITEM, ITS CONDITION OR USABILITY. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SIERRA IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY OR LOSS TO MY GUESTS OR ME.

We may require a $100-$500 deposit hold in order to participate in our auctions. This registration deposit hold is part of the purchase and will be applied towards the invoice total. If you do not win any lots, the hold will be released. This can take up to 30 days depending on YOUR bank to release.

Per city code, if you are a City of Phoenix or a City of Tempe employee, you are not permitted to bid on any City of Phoenix or City of Tempe assets, either knowingly or unknowingly. By participating in our auction, you are agreeing to this restriction & will abide by it.

WINNING BIDDERS - PLEASE READ! If you are the winning bidder of an item in a vehicle or commercial equipment auction, a $250 non-refundable deposit for each winning bid is REQUIRED and WILL BE proactively charged to your credit card on file as well as applied to your invoice. By registering for our auction, you are providing authorization for Sierra to complete this deposit transaction. If the card is declined, your bidding account will be placed on temporary hold, and you will be contacted to arrange payment of this deposit. To ensure a seamless bidding experience, please be sure to have a credit card on file.

Payment is due by 3:00 pm on the date specified in your invoice email instructions. Sierra reserves the right to charge late payment fees and storage fees beyond this deadline.

If buyer fails to fulfill his obligation of any of these terms and conditions in their entirety, your non-refundable deposit of $250, AND any additional amounts (if applicable) that add up to 14% of your high bid will be kept as a renege fee. The additional amount will be charged to the same credit card to complete the entire penalty for breaching the purchase contract. In addition, your bidding status with Sierra Auction may be revoked depending on the circumstances of the transaction.

SALES TAX EXEMPTION QUALIFICATIONS: Sales Tax will be charged on all purchases, unless Sierra has on file or receives prior to the auction (1) Sales Tax Exemption Certificate acceptable to Sierra and to the State of Arizona, (2) COMPLETED Arizona Form 5000A, and (3) a separate automobile dealer exemption certificate/license if you purchased a titled asset. (4) Letter of Authorization, if you are not the company owner. You will not be granted tax exemption post-sale if these forms are not completed to the satisfaction of Sierra. Customers and/or Buyers will ONLY be tax exempt for those assets which are listed on the Form 5000A. Non-dealer out-of-state buyers who intend to register the vehicle outside of Arizona will be required to fill out an AZ form 5010 or 5011 depending on their circumstances and, if acceptable, state sales tax will be waived partially or in full. The buyer in this scenario is still required to pay the city and county taxes where applicable.

Please make sure you have a PAID invoice on your mobile device or printed out before coming to pick up assets. You will receive a PAID invoice via email once your payment has been received, cleared, and processed. Please note that some bank transfers/wires take up to 24 hours to receive.

DEFINITION OF TYPES OF AUCTION SALES

Passenger Vehicle Sale - Vehicles that are traditionally driven through an auction lane for buyers to see. Due to restrictions and new online-only auctions, these vehicles are not driven through a lane open to the public. These vehicles are driven at slow speeds onsite while processed in and buyers can have a level of confidence that the vehicle can move forward/backward. Under NO circumstances does Sierra warrant that these vehicles are free from defects in the engine, transmission, or drive train.

NonRunner/Stationary Sale - Those vehicles sold with or without a key and either cannot be started or have been deemed unsafe to be driven or undriveable. Vehicles in this category could include engine problems, missing parts, collision vehicles, or virtually any other issue that would cause a vehicle to be a non-runner.

Fleet and Heavy Equipment Sale - these vehicles and other assets are in various running and driving condition. Units may have missing parts and are non-running or may have been fleet maintained and in good working order. It is highly recommended that these units be inspected prior to bidding to ensure confidence placing bids.

Boats, RVs, Motorcycles, Carts Sale (Toys) - these vehicles and other assets are in various running and driving condition. Units may have missing parts and are non-running or may have been fleet maintained and in good working order. It is highly recommended that these units be inspected prior to bidding to ensure confidence placing bids.

TITLE INFORMATION

Arizona specifically identifies odometer mileage and brand of the cars on the title as one of each of the following categories:
Odometer:

BOX A – Actual Mileage.
BOX B – Mileage exceeds the mechanical limits of the odometer.
BOX C – True Mileage Unknown.

TITLE DELAY: Title is in process with the consignor or MVD. It may take up to 30 days to arrive.

Brand:
Left blank – no brand, which means the State of Arizona has not recognized an incident to this vehicle that would brand it a salvage vehicle. This in NO WAY means that the state has not erred in recognizing a vehicle’s previous salvage brand in another state. Please do your DUE DILIGENCE in researching the title status of a vehicle prior to bidding.

Restored Salvage – vehicle was previously salvaged and has been brought up to a road-worthy status per state regulations and requirements.

Salvage – vehicle has had one or more incidents (such as a total loss from theft/recovery, flood/water damage, fire, severe accident) such that its condition requires the state to brand the vehicle as not road-worthy.

Please be aware that titles are mailed to the ADDRESS ON FILE, which is reflected on your invoice. To avoid a re-mailing fee, PLEASE double-check the accuracy of your mailing address that you entered in your account. Any buyer who’s title comes back undeliverable will be assessed a returned title fee of $25 if paid via direct deposit. The returned title fee is $25.75 if paid with a credit card.

Please review any and all additional terms and conditions written in the invoice email you receive upon a successful vehicle purchase.
