How to ship your used motorcycle purchased from the auction house?
Often many riders prefer to bid for any used motorcycles that are located outside of the area where they live. However, by stepping out of your geographic limits, there is every chance that you may get a much better deal and find a motorcycle that you wanted.
Since most of the auction houses are usually online, hence you are only restricted by your ability to ship the motorcycle to your place. That is where various vehicle shipping companies can play a useful role for you. Follow these steps for shipping your used motorcycle bought from an auction.
-
Before bidding, ask these questions to the auction house:
- How many days will you permit me for free storage? (With CoPart, you may get 3 days from your day of the sale. Thereafter, you have to pay for the storage fees. At IAAI, however, it may vary based on the location of your sale. At CrashedToys, also it will vary by location. Sacramento may offer 3 days of free storage that is including the day when the sale took place. After that, you have to pay at the rate of $5/day and then quickly get escalated up to $30/day.)
- In case I am buying any salvage bike, then whether the tires and fork remain undamaged? (Both must be undamaged for shipping your motorcycle)
-
Once you buy your motorcycle via any auction house:
- Pay for your storage in advance, however, the auction company will refund for any unused days.
- You must ensure storage and also all other fees are duly paid before any driver reaches to collect your motorcycle.
-
Information that any Motorcycle Shippers will need while booking for transporting your bike:
The following information will be needed by the shipper:
- Buyer ID number obtained from the auction house
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Lot/stock number of your vehicle
- Release form for your carrier required for pickup
- Verification that your vehicle properly rolls
