Vehicle sourcing service
Let us find the car you want.
Tell us your target vehicle and budget. Illustrious Motors searches dealer auctions, places approved bids, and sells the vehicle directly to you.
1. Tell us what you want
Share the year, make, model, budget, and any must-haves.
2. Approve the quote and deposit
We send a written offer with the maximum auction bid, estimated costs, required deposit, and refund terms. You decide whether to proceed.
3. We bid and handle the sale
If we win, we apply your deposit to the final invoice and coordinate the title and delivery. If we lose, we handle the deposit according to your written refund terms.
What you’ll pay
Your written quote shows the estimated cost before we bid. The final invoice uses the winning bid and applicable charges.
| Item | How it’s charged |
|---|---|
| Vehicle price | The actual winning bid. Your approved cap limits what we can bid. |
| Auction fees | Estimated on the quote and itemized on the final invoice. |
| Document fee | Itemized in your written quote. |
| Administration fee | Itemized in your written quote. |
| Taxes and transport | Shown separately where applicable. Transport depends on the delivery location. |
| Deposit | Set for your specific quote and paid before bidding. It is credited toward the invoice on a win. The quote states when it’s refundable. |
Questions about buying through a dealer auction
Do I need a dealer license or a membership?
Illustrious Motors bids through its dealership account and sells the vehicle directly to you. You can request a vehicle as a buyer without joining the rep program.
Can I specify a maximum price?
Share your total budget when you request a vehicle. Your written offer separates the maximum auction bid from estimated fees, taxes, and transport so you can review the expected total before accepting.
What if the dealership loses the auction?
We handle the deposit under the refund terms in your accepted quote. Review those terms before paying the deposit.
