Rejected at Auction
The cars we didn't buy.
No dealership shows you what it refused to buy. We do — because what we walk away from says more about us than what we sell. We review dozens of auction listings for every car we buy, and this page is the public record of those walk-aways and the reasons behind them.
Three rules we never break
Deployed airbags
If the airbags fired, we're out. A cheaply reinstalled airbag is a gamble with someone's life, and no margin justifies it.
Flood titles
Flood cars are electrical time bombs. They can look perfect for months — then the faults never stop. We do not bid, at any price.
Structural damage
Doors and bumpers bolt on. A bent or cut chassis does not. If the frame took the hit, the car stays in America.
The first rejection files publish here as the next batch is sourced — the auction listing, the reason we walked, and the photos. Follow along on Instagram and TikTok to see them first.
