A word of caution to all eBay buyers: There are many unscrupulous individuals online who use free market sites such as eBay to try and steal money from honest people. These con artists may try to offer you products, including vehicles, at what appears to be a fraction of their true value. They may even send you what appears to be a real eBay second chance offer. They may ask you to wire money, either through a financial institution or some other instant money transfer system. They may even come up with a plausible reason for you to send money overseas.

If no contact is made within 24 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. We hold titles to most of our vehicles in hand. However, there are times when we purchase vehicles with titles held by lending institutions. North Carolina law provides up to thirty days for these institutions to release titles to us.Most banks and credit unions do not finance vehicles older than ten years or with more than 100K miles. Make sure if financing, your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding.All sales are FOB Sanford, NC. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle. We are open for vehicle pickup, by appointment only, from 8am-5pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 2pm-5pm on Wednesday and 8am-3pm on Friday. We are closed at nights and on weekends. If you wish to have it shipped using a door-to-door service, we will gladly cooperate. Please contact us directly for a shipping quote. If you already have your own shpper, we will be happy to work with them to arrange pickup of your vehicle, however we DO NOT offer delivery service to a shipping terminal. Please arrange for door-to-door shipping service only. If you desire to fly in to Raleigh Durham International (RDU) and drive your vehicle back, we will provide airport transfer to our lot. If you are not sure about something, Please ASK. We STRONGLY recommend you inspect any vehicle prior to bidding. By placing a bid on this vehicle you either certify that you have performed a pre-bid inspection, or you have waived your right to do so. Do not assume anything not listed is included. We do our best to describe the overall mechanical and cosmetic condition of the vehicles we sell, but we do not claim to have done a complete visual or mechanical inspection. We sell our vehicles at NO RESERVE and all vehicles are sold AS-IS, unless the vehicle has factory warranty remaining. If you do not understand this or can not accept this then please do not bid on the vehicle. We do not want you to be unhappy with your purchase but at the same time you have to understand what the definition of "AS-IS" means. It means sold without warranty. Please do not contact us after you have bought the car "as-is" and tell us you want us to warranty your vehicle. Most of our cars are sold at, and often below, wholesale prices. Therefore there is minimum profit (especially on no reserve auctions) and accordingly, we can not afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it off our retail lot for full list price. Remember, many of these cars are nearly a decade old and may have in excess of 100,000 miles. They may be new to you but they are used cars and repairs can be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. While we try to service any known defects, it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. All cars are used machines and used machines need general repairs on a regular basis, many times without prior warning. This is especially true for highline & exotic vehicles that have more elaborate features and systems. Also, repairs are more common, for example, on a 1999 or 2000 model car as opposed to a 2009 or 2010 model car. What you have just read is basically common sense, but there are some people who want something for nothing and don't understand the concept of "AS IS". For this reason, we felt is necessary to spell terms out in plain English. Please e-mail us if additional information or pictures are desired. We reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive non-paying bidder performance. We reserve the right to end the listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale.Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay, and prosucuted to the full extent of interstate commerce law. Fee and Tax Information: Buyers residing in North Carolina are responsible for 3% vehicle tax as well as title/registration fees. We do not collect taxes or licensing fees from buyers outside the state of North Carolina. All buyers, including other dealers, are responsible for a $195 documentation fee. About Us We are licensed in the state of North Carolina as Cheatham & Cheatham Associates, LLC, a low-overhead, wholesale to the public, independent auto dealer. We buy our vehicles at dealer and public auctions as well as from private sellers. Because we are a small dealership with no fancy offices, no overpriced real estate location, and very little overhead expense, we can afford to always list our vehicles at the lowest prices on eBay Motors. We have been selling on eBay since 1998 and are very experienced with all aspects of selling vehicles to in-state, out-of-state and international buyers.

Winning bidder must send $1000 in the form of either direct wire transfer, or check/money order drawn on a United States bank within three days of the end of the auction. The balance of the purchase price is due via wire transfer, cashier's check, money order or cash within 7 calendar days of auction end or upon pickup of the vehicle, whichever comes first. We do not accept Paypal or Credit Card payments under any circumstances. International bidders must pay via wire transfer or with cash, no exceptions. If no contact is made within 24 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise.

We hold titles to most of our vehicles in hand. However, there are times when we purchase vehicles with titles held by lending institutions. North Carolina law provides up to thirty days for these institutions to release titles to us.

Most banks and credit unions do not finance vehicles older than ten years or with more than 100K miles. Make sure if financing, your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding.

All sales are FOB Sanford, NC. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle. We are open for vehicle pickup, by appointment only, from 8am-5pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 2pm-5pm on Wednesday and 8am-3pm on Friday. We are closed at nights and on weekends. If you wish to have it shipped using a door-to-door service, we will gladly cooperate. Please contact us directly for a shipping quote. If you already have your own shpper, we will be happy to work with them to arrange pickup of your vehicle, however we DO NOT offer delivery service to a shipping terminal. Please arrange for door-to-door shipping service only. If you desire to fly in to Raleigh Durham International (RDU) and drive your vehicle back, we will provide airport transfer to our lot.

If you are not sure about something, Please ASK. We STRONGLY recommend you inspect any vehicle prior to bidding. By placing a bid on this vehicle you either certify that you have performed a pre-bid inspection, or you have waived your right to do so. Do not assume anything not listed is included. We do our best to describe the overall mechanical and cosmetic condition of the vehicles we sell, but we do not claim to have done a complete visual or mechanical inspection. We sell our vehicles at NO RESERVE and all vehicles are sold AS-IS, unless the vehicle has factory warranty remaining. If you do not understand this or can not accept this then please do not bid on the vehicle. We do not want you to be unhappy with your purchase but at the same time you have to understand what the definition of "AS-IS" means. It means sold without warranty. Please do not contact us after you have bought the car "as-is" and tell us you want us to warranty your vehicle. Most of our cars are sold at, and often below, wholesale prices. Therefore there is minimum profit (especially on no reserve auctions) and accordingly, we can not afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it off our retail lot for full list price. Remember, many of these cars are nearly a decade old and may have in excess of 100,000 miles. They may be new to you but they are used cars and repairs can be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. While we try to service any known defects, it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. All cars are used machines and used machines need general repairs on a regular basis, many times without prior warning. This is especially true for highline & exotic vehicles that have more elaborate features and systems. Also, repairs are more common, for example, on a 1999 or 2000 model car as opposed to a 2009 or 2010 model car. What you have just read is basically common sense, but there are some people who want something for nothing and don't understand the concept of "AS IS". For this reason, we felt is necessary to spell terms out in plain English. Please e-mail us if additional information or pictures are desired. We reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive non-paying bidder performance. We reserve the right to end the listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale.

Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay, and prosucuted to the full extent of interstate commerce law.



Fee and Tax Information:

Buyers residing in North Carolina are responsible for 3% vehicle tax as well as title/registration fees. We do not collect taxes or licensing fees from buyers outside the state of North Carolina. All buyers, including other dealers, are responsible for a $195 documentation fee.

We are licensed in the state of North Carolina as Cheatham & Cheatham Associates, LLC, a low-overhead, wholesale to the public, independent auto dealer. We buy our vehicles at dealer and public auctions as well as from private sellers. Because we are a small dealership with no fancy offices, no overpriced real estate location, and very little overhead expense, we can afford to always list our vehicles at the lowest prices on eBay Motors. We have been selling on eBay since 1998 and are very experienced with all aspects of selling vehicles to in-state, out-of-state and international buyers.

Please note that many of our auctions end early when bidders contact us and make an offer on a particular car. If your wish to discuss a Buy-it-Now price and purchase this vehicle through eBay in this manner, please e-mail us at nccars@windstream.net. You may also call Cheatham & Cheatham Associates at 919-353-5157 between 9am-5pm EST Mon-Sat. While we are unavailable for phone calls at night or on Sunday, we will gladly answer e-mail during these times.

This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.-->
