Yeah, I'd never send more than the state minimum for holding a vehicle for 3 days. In PA that was last time I checked $25. Most states it is anywhere from $1 to $250. This is a "non refundable deposit" which by law is binding the seller to hold the vehicle for a prescribed time. Like I said in PA that is 3 days. Each state varies though.

Totally underdescribed, smoker satined inside dozens of non-mentioned problems, wobble intermittantly at idle, etc, Now he's trying to keep my $1000. He'll be known as the DEFENDANT really soon.
Send no money and pplan on being there to inspevt and buy w/in 3 days of the auction. Tell them "my pane ticket and day off work is my deposit." To be continued....
