Frequently Asked Questions about Passenger Vehicles for Sale at Auction in Illinois
Our Illinois auctions feature a diverse range of passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and specialty vehicles. You'll find popular makes like Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and luxury brands such as Land Rover and Infiniti. From police interceptors to classic cars, our inventory caters to various needs and preferences.
Purple Wave is committed to transparency in all our auctions. We provide detailed descriptions, including mileage, VIN numbers, and known issues for each vehicle. Our no-reserve auctions mean that the highest bid wins, ensuring a fair process for all participants. We also encourage potential buyers to inspect vehicles in person when possible.
Our listings include comprehensive details such as the vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, VIN, engine specifications, transmission type, interior features, tire information, and any notable issues or modifications. We also provide information about the title status and any special considerations for government or fleet vehicles.
While many vehicles come from Illinois-based sellers, including government entities and private owners, we may also feature vehicles from neighboring states. This variety provides you with a wider selection of passenger vehicles for sale at auction.
We recommend reviewing the detailed descriptions and photos provided in each listing. Pay attention to mileage, known issues, and overall condition. For local buyers, we often provide opportunities for in-person inspections. You can also check the vehicle history using the provided VIN number.
Former police and government vehicles often have higher mileage but may have been well-maintained. Consider factors like engine hours, any modifications or removed equipment, and potential wear and tear from heavy use. These vehicles can offer great value but may require more thorough inspection.
When bidding on classic vehicles, such as the 1969 Ford Galaxie or 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, consider factors like originality, restoration needs, and parts availability. These vehicles may require special care or expertise, but can be excellent additions to a collection or restoration project.
Title information is provided in each listing, including whether it's a clean title, rebuilt title, or if there are any liens. Some government entities may have specific processes for title transfer. Be aware that you may need to pay applicable taxes and registration fees, especially if you're purchasing from a licensed dealer.
Buyers are responsible for vehicle transport, but we can provide recommendations for trusted transport companies. Some vehicles may require special transport considerations, especially if they are non-operational or classic cars. Always arrange for appropriate transport to ensure your purchased vehicle arrives safely.
Value can vary based on individual needs, but former fleet vehicles, such as police interceptors or government-owned cars, often provide good value due to regular maintenance. Additionally, vehicles with minor cosmetic issues but solid mechanical conditions can be great finds for budget-conscious buyers looking for reliable transportation.
