IAA - SCA Scam

I used SCA Auctions to bid on IAA the vehicle 2002 Camry costed me 500 and the fees were 950 an obligated towing service which cost me 400 total of 1850 WT Also will forced you to use their poor slow and expensive towing service which would take 3-5 business days to deliver your car They did NOT allow me to use a private towing company Note if the post says mechanical issues - Run Drive that mean the engine is 100 trash broken blowed etc so don t expect a running or driving car SCAM mine had a hole in the engine block Zero Star Does Not worth anymore Total waste of money

After winning the bid the nightmare begins

After winning the bid they ll tell you two possibly three weeks to receive title it took six weeks to get mine then they didn t sign it had to fed ex it back to Florida and wait another week and a half By far the worst auction company I have ever dealt with I wouldn t ever do business with them again
