To evaluate a truck's value, consider factors such as the make, model, year, mileage, engine hours, and overall condition. Pay attention to key specs like engine type, horsepower, transmission, and axle configuration. Compare these details to similar trucks in the market and consider how they align with your specific needs.

Be aware of the emissions standards for the truck's model year and any modifications. Some older trucks may have had emissions systems like EGR or DPF deleted, which could affect compliance in certain areas. Always check the truck's emissions status and ensure it meets the requirements for your intended use and location.

While Purple Wave doesn't directly offer financing, many buyers work with third-party financing companies specializing in commercial vehicles. It's recommended to arrange financing before bidding. Check with your preferred lender or ask Purple Wave for recommendations on truck financing specialists.

After winning an auction, you'll receive instructions for payment and pickup. Purple Wave will facilitate the transfer of ownership documents. Be prepared to arrange transportation for the truck if you can't pick it up yourself. Some auctions may have specific terms regarding title transfer and pickup deadlines, so review all post-auction information carefully.
