The prices shown on iDirect are the start prices for the cars at auction. Customers enter a maximum bid for each car along with additional notes on buying criteria. iDirect staff will then bid on the vehicle at the customer's behalf up to the maximum bid requested. The customer wins the vehicle if it matches their additional notes and it is sold at auction for less than the customer's maximum bid. The customer saves money any time a vehicle is sold for less than the maximum bid.
