Additionally, photographs may not accurately represent the true color or full condition of the vehicle. It is the bidder’s responsibility to confirm the color and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes raising inquiries with the seller in the comments section.
