What the official page discloses
The lot page identifies the vehicle as a 2024 Chevrolet Malibu LT with a 1.5L four-cylinder engine, CVT transmission, panoramic sunroof, clean title restriction, and 61,092 miles at the time of posting. The seller says the vehicle was visually inspected and test driven, but also warns that mileage may vary before delivery and that all known information is based on observation rather than a warranty-backed certification.
How bidding works
The listing is on GovDeals as an online auction. The page shows the minimum bid equals the current listed amount and that the auction is subject to auto-extension at the end time. That means last-minute bidding can extend the close, so bidders should not assume the lot will end exactly at the displayed minute if activity continues near the deadline.
Fees, taxes, and payment
- Buyer’s premium: 10%.
- DOC fee: $798, unless the buyer provides proof of licensed auto dealer status.
- Sales tax: Calculated based on the auction’s advertised location when applicable.
- Payment deadline: Within 5 business days after auction closure.
- High-dollar payment method: Invoices of $5,000 or more require wire transfer.
The official page does not disclose title transfer timing, DMV filing responsibility, or whether any lien exists. It does state that registration and plates are the buyer’s responsibility.
Inspection and pickup
Inspection may be permitted at the seller’s discretion and is by appointment only. For pickup, the seller requires an appointment Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. The page says shipping is available, but also states buyer must arrange transportation and that registration and plates are the buyer’s responsibility. The listing also says a person other than the named buyer needs signed permission paperwork and the bill of sale to pick up the vehicle.
Buyer checklist
- Confirm the closing timestamp before bidding.
- Review the photos and full description carefully.
- Ask the seller about inspection availability before bidding.
- Budget for the 10% premium, DOC fee, tax, and transport.
- Prepare wire transfer capability if the invoice may exceed $5,000.
- Plan a pickup appointment within the seller’s stated hours.
