Indiana Public Auto Auction (IPAA)

Online. Site emphasizes you do not need to attend in person. In‑person bidding not specified.

Timing inconsistency on site: most pages and the current Auction Calendar show Tuesday auctions at 6:00 pm (e.g., Sep 23, 2025 at 6:00 pm), but some pages (Inventory, Classic Cars) mention 2:00 pm. Treat 6:00 pm as current based on the live calendar and Auction Info. Payment language appears twice on Terms page: the top bullet references credit cards and pre‑approved company checks with no personal checks; the payment section lists cash, cashier’s check, certified bank check, wire transfer, and notes that card charges may be limited at auction discretion—vehicles not released until checks clear. IPAA highlights a two‑day window to arrange transportation (home page) and a two business day pickup window to avoid storage fees (salvage cars page). Delivery is facilitated via ACERTUS; carriers commonly use the "VINlocity Carrier" ePOD app (for transporters, not buyers). No mention of virtual queues, PIN codes, transporter registration at the auction gate, or appointment requirements.

Buyer is responsible for vehicle once sold. Vehicle may not be removed until paid in full. A gate pass is required for any vehicle leaving the lot and vehicles are subject to security inspection when exiting. Buyers generally have two business days to pick up before storage fees begin. Pickup must occur during posted lot hours. Specific check‑in/appointment or ID requirements not specified.
