🔑 Registration & Bidding

You must create an account to log in and bid. (MAKE SURE TO EMAIL A COPY OF DRIVER LICENCE OR ID THE ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED UNTIL RECEIVED) Tamara@cedartowing.com
A $100.00 holding fee is required to register — this ensures only serious bidders participate. (Will go back to the card it does NOT go towards the winning bid)
The $100 is fully refundable and will be returned to your card within 2–8 business days if you do not win a lot.
If you win a lot and fail to pay, the $100 will be forfeited and you may be banned from future auctions.
This one-time fee applies only once per auction – additional bids do not incur another charge.
Bids cannot be changed or canceled once placed.
By placing a bid, you are entering a legally binding contract to purchase the item if you win.

📋 Vehicle Details & Inspection

All vehicles are sold AS-IS.
Cedar Towing does not inspect vehicles and makes no guarantees on condition or mechanical issues.
Please use Carfax or similar services to research vehicle history.
Vehicles may not be inspected in person at this time.
Please review videos and photos carefully. Some files only show the vehicle attempting to start — not necessarily running or driving.
Not all vehicles are drivable or complete; evaluate condition based on media provided.
Some lots are sold as third-party sales and are clearly labeled (e.g., “Lot 23 – Third-Party Sale”). These are also sold AS-IS.

📃 Paperwork & Title

Sale paperwork is provided at pickup.
Take paperwork to the DMV after inspection to receive your title by mail.
- You're required to register a vehicle with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DMV) within 30 days of the purchase date.
- If registration issues, or if you invest time or money (like installing parts) into the vehicle, then "Cedar" (presumably the seller or a related party) is not responsible for any resulting problems.
If you need to change the buyer name:
- A separate account must be created for the new buyer.
- Email Tamara@cedartowing.com at least 24 hours before pickup.
- A $50.00 transfer fee applies and can only be processed at time of sale.
