What is this bond?

The South Carolina Wholesale Auction Dealer Bond is a commercial surety bond that guarantees auto auction facilities operate according to state industry regulations. It provides financial protection against fraud, misrepresentation, or the failure to transfer clear vehicle titles during auction sales.

Who needs it?

Individuals and businesses operating as wholesale motor vehicle auction dealers in South Carolina are typically required to secure this bond. This generally includes facilities that facilitate the sale of vehicles exclusively between licensed auto dealers.

Why is it required?

The state generally requires this bond to protect participating dealers and financial institutions from losses caused by unethical auction practices. If a wholesale auction dealer commits fraud, fails to pay for vehicles, or does not deliver proper titles, the bond acts as a financial guarantee for the harmed parties.
