Indiana Public Auto Auction

Paper work sucks.
They sit on the title for weeks before mailing.
Their response as to why they do this, was they do not mail right away. User fees are pretty high.
If you go there, do not expect prompt service. Once they have your money, the service slows to snails pace.

This auction house is also where Goodwill of Indiana places their donations for auction. You’ll pay a buyer’s fee of a minimum of $ 139, plus a $ 129 documentation charge. The buyer’s fee is graduated by price sold.
You can’t look at the cars unless you register as a bidder, with a mandatory $ 300 deposit. You can’t get a refund of that deposit until 7pm, even though you can examine the cars between 445pm and when bidding starts at 630pm. This means, to get a decent look at a prospective car, and there were said to be 175+ on the day we were there, your deposit is held until well after bidding has begun– even if you decided to pass on the cars.
As a result of these policies, we bailed, and cannot otherwise tell you the quality of the vehicles we saw, or the value at auction. The policies, we felt, were inappropriate and usurious. YMMV. These are otherwise friendly people, it’s just that their policies are unacceptable to us, and we’ve been to plenty of auctions. Remember that any vehicle will cost you the minimum buyer’s fee + the documentation charge + Indiana Sales tax, so add this on the front end, and back end of your bid price. You might not be getting the deal you were hoping for with these added fees, and mandatory sales tax.
