1. How Payment Works
When you win an auction or complete a Buy Now purchase, our team issues an official invoice for your specific vehicle. Because most vehicles are sold on behalf of a Selling Company, the invoice is issued in the name of the Selling Company that owns the vehicle, and it is prepared, sent, and managed by MME AUTOHAUS LLC
Each invoice clearly identifies the Selling Company — its legal name, website, business address, and contact details — together with the exact bank account that will receive your payment. Nothing about who you are paying is left to guesswork.
2. Who Receives Your Payment
Depending on the contract we hold with the Selling Company for your vehicle, your invoice will direct payment to one of two business accounts:
MME AUTOHAUS LLC
Where the Selling Company has contractually authorized us to collect payment on its behalf, your invoice directs payment to the business account of MME AUTOHAUS LLC
The Selling Company
Where the vehicle owner settles directly, your invoice directs payment to the business account of the Selling Company named on the invoice.
In both cases, the account holder name on the payment instructions will always match either MME AUTOHAUS LLC or the Selling Company named on your invoice. No other payee is ever used.
3. What Your Invoice Includes
Every official invoice contains the following details so you can verify exactly who you are paying:
| Invoice detail | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Selling Company | Legal name, website, business address, and contact details of the company that owns the vehicle. |
| Managed by | MME AUTOHAUS LLC (MME AUTOHAUS) as the platform managing your transaction. |
| Vehicle | Year, make, model, VIN, and the auction or listing reference. |
| Amount due | The total purchase price, any applicable taxes or delivery charges, and installment schedule if applicable. |
| Payment account | Account holder name (MME AUTOHAUS LLC or the Selling Company), bank name, and wire details. |
| Payment reference | The reference to include with your wire so your payment is matched to the correct vehicle and invoice. |
4. Accepted Payment Method
At this time, payments are made by bank transfer (wire transfer) only. Bank transfer provides a clear, traceable payment record for both you and us, and avoids the additional processing costs associated with card-based payment methods.
Please include the payment reference shown on your invoice with your transfer. Once your payment is received, our team will confirm it to you in writing.
5. Payments Over $30,000
For purchases above $30,000, we offer the flexibility to split payment into two installments:
First Installment
Typically around half the purchase price, due to confirm your win and begin processing.
Title Processing
We finalize paperwork and clearance with the Selling Company and originating institution.
Final Installment
The remaining balance is due once title paperwork is fully cleared.
Vehicle Ships
Delivery is scheduled once the full payment has been received.
6. What Happens Before Your Vehicle Ships
- Your payment is received and confirmed to you in writing;
- Our team finalizes title transfer paperwork with the Selling Company and originating institution;
- Delivery logistics are scheduled around your availability and shared with you, including estimated arrival timing;
- Your vehicle is shipped, fully insured, to your delivery address.
7. Our 5-Day Return Policy
Once your vehicle is delivered, the clock starts on your 5-day inspection period. This is your chance to drive it, look it over, and make sure it's the right fit — and if it isn't, for any reason, you can return it.
| What you can do | Details |
|---|---|
| Inspect & drive | Take the vehicle out, check it over, get comfortable with your purchase. |
| Change your mind | You can return it for any reason within the 5-day window. |
| Stay insured | The vehicle remains fully insured by MME AUTOHAUS for the entire 5-day period. |
The goal of this policy is to take the risk out of buying a vehicle you haven't seen in person — not to make returns difficult.
8. Our Refund Guarantee
MME AUTOHAUS LLC guarantees the refund of every eligible return made under this policy. This guarantee applies regardless of whether your payment was received by MME AUTOHAUS LLC or by the Selling Company named on your invoice.
Our contracts with every Selling Company cover returns made within the inspection period. If a return is accepted, you do not need to pursue the Selling Company for your money — we are responsible for making sure your refund is paid in full under the terms of this page.
9. How to Start a Return
- Contact our Support Center within your 5-day inspection window, by email or phone.
- Let us know you'd like to return the vehicle — you don't need to give a detailed reason, though we're always happy to hear feedback.
- We confirm your return request in writing and arrange pickup logistics with you directly.
- Once the vehicle is collected and its condition is checked, your refund is processed (see Section 10).
10. Refund Timing
11. What's Not Covered by Returns
To keep this process fair for everyone, a few common-sense exceptions apply:
- Damage, accidents, or losses caused by the buyer during the inspection period — even though the vehicle remains insured, buyer-caused damage may be deducted from your refund or invoiced separately.
- Return requests received after the 5-day inspection window has closed.
- Vehicles not returned in substantially the same condition as delivered (normal test-driving wear is expected and fine).
Outside of these reasonable exceptions, we want this to be an easy, low-stress process for you.
12. Protecting Your Payment
Wire fraud targeting vehicle buyers is common across the industry. Please follow these simple rules:
- Only pay using the instructions on your official invoice from MME AUTOHAUS.
- Check that the account holder name is either MME AUTOHAUS LLC or the Selling Company named on your invoice.
- Before sending a wire, you are welcome to call us at (213) 282-4993 to confirm the bank details verbally.
- We will never change bank details by email alone, and we will never ask you to pay a private individual, use gift cards, or use cryptocurrency.
- If anything looks different from what is described on this page, stop and contact us before sending funds.
