Get it delivered.<\/strong> Every car is delivered, and the delivery quote is on the listing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>6.

Twin Cities Auctions, LLC now does business as Remarket Space. The company and its Minnesota online car auctions are the same. Only the name and the website changed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the public buy cars at online car auctions in Minnesota?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, at public auctions like Remarket Space. You need a free account and a verified ID, not a dealer license. Many big wholesale auctions are limited to licensed dealers, so check who can bid before you register anywhere.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What fees do you pay at Remarket Space?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You pay a buyer\u2019s premium and an administrative fee, both published on the pricing page. On a 5,000 dollar car they total 838 dollars. Minnesota individuals also pay 6.875 percent motor vehicle sales tax and about 119.50 dollars in DMV fees.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you pay for a car you win online?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pay the full amount by credit or debit card within 48 hours of winning. Licensed dealers can pay by ACH. If you miss the deadline, the account is suspended and the car is relisted, so only bid what you can pay.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you have to pick the car up from the lot?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Every Remarket Space car is delivered, and the delivery quote is shown on the listing before you bid. That means you buy from the inspection report, the free Carfax and the photos rather than a walk around the yard.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-6\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What happens if the car has a problem the listing did not mention?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">File a claim within 72 hours of delivery. The 3-Day Major Mechanical Guarantee covers undisclosed engine, automatic transmission, frame and flood damage. Under 2,000 dollars you keep the car and get 25 percent back, up to 500 dollars. At 2,000 or more you can return it for a refund.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-7\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How many cars can you buy and resell in Minnesota without a dealer license?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Minnesota Statutes section 168.27 treats buying, selling or leasing no more than five vehicles in a 12-month period as occasional sales that do not need a dealer license.
