For bidder/buyers: We strive to provide clear and accurate auction listings, but the information should not be considered a complete assessment of any vehicle for sale. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to view vehicles in person, arrange independent inspections, and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the vehicle meets their requirements.
Descriptions, commentary, or observations are offered in good faith and represent general, non-expert impressions only. We do not verify or guarantee vehicle condition, mileage, or history, and this information should not be interpreted as a professional inspection or evaluation. Vehicles are not subjected to formal inspections unless explicitly stated.
Vehicle videos are typically recorded with standard equipment, so audio quality may vary, and engine or exhaust sounds may differ from how they are perceived in person.
All vehicles are sold on a strictly “as-is, where-is” basis. No warranties apply, and bidders must satisfy themselves as to a vehicle’s condition and suitability prior to bidding. Bidders should note that SBX Cars provides information in good faith but cannot verify every detail of the vehicles; the responsibility for assessing condition and suitability rests with the buyer. For more details, please refer to our FAQs.
As part of the consignment process, SBX Cars requests a range of information from the seller pertaining to the subject of their offering. The auction listing description therefore is, to the best of the seller's knowledge, accurate and not misleading. However, it is the responsibility of a potential buyer to satisfy themself as to the accuracy of the auction listing description. This includes conducting an in-person inspection, which may be arranged between the buyer and seller, as well as verifying the condition, authenticity, value, and title before committing to bid or buy. Please see our Terms of Service for full details.
