Mecum Auctions Bewertungen 

Great people, great cars and a GREAT experience.

I bought a 1952 Ford pickup from the auction on 12/5 in Kansas City. I bought it on-line. As soon as I got the bill of sale and title from Mecum, (about 3 weeks after the purchase). I took it to the VIN inspection folks in my county. They told me my 1st mistake is buying a vehicle from Mecum. The 2nd issue was, the truck had been modified and part of the frame had been replaced, (no valid VIN to pass inspection). My only option is to apply for a "quiet title" in Kansas, with attorney fees between $3,000 -$5,000 for them to do the paperwork. Definetly will not buy from Mecum again!!!!

Didn’t buy a car this time, but wanted to give a shout out to the staff for being so friendly and helpful, one guy (Junior at the entrance) loaned me his portable charger because my phone was dead , and he wouldn’t even accept a tip after
Kudos to junior!!!
On a side note, there should be some quick charging stations for cell phones there , just my opinion

Please get the new commentator off the air. What an idiot. Talks about headlights and stance. Obviously knows little to nothing about cars. This guy's as a replacement for the professor is a travesty. Really, really hard to listed to him. First time since I started watching Mecum that I dont want to tunebin

Had bid a car up for auction, won the bid and then they immediately continued the bidding right after! Whats up with that???? What a dishonest company!

What a joke. I hauled my 1948 Diamond T Truck 480 miles to the Fort Worth Auction. When it was time to cross the auction block they decided to sell by video. Said it was to big. Hum I drove it inside the Dickies parking garage. If you are not a Big Boy consigner or buyer you are meaningless to them. Never again will I consider Mecum Auction

From applying to bid, fall of the hammer to all the follow up procedures and of course shipping, Mecum has been first rate full stop! Timely responses to questions show great communication protocols with clear and concise answers to my inquiries.

Should honor what you guys preach, hammer down sold means sold not keep bidding, very unprofessional

Stopped over at the Klairmont Kollection today to view the cars and what an amazing time we had.
The Mecum staff was so helpful in answering all our questions. Our kids had a great time as well looking at all the cars. Can't wait for the actual auction next weekend. I hope I we win the bid on the lots we want!

Very scummy business giving others in the car business a bad rep

My father purchased a vehicle from Mecum Auctions. On delivery, one of the vehicle windows won’t close and there are transmission issues. I definitely don’t recommend buying a car from Mecums.

I've been going buying and selling until this last weekend but now I now it's all about the money my money I'm done just think what I'll save

After jumping through about 20 hoops and being assured that spending $2000 on towing, would not be wasted, Mecum swore the car would sell for 50 and suggested a reserve of 55. The high bid was $38,000 so $2000 towing plus the $1000 listing fee was just pissed away for nothing. Thanks Mecum!

I just finished trying to sell my car at the Glendale Auction. It was one of the most disappointing experiences I have ever had. I sent documentation and all information I could to them 6 months before the date. They assured me I could easily get my price. My appraisal was available for them and showed how high of quality my build was. After traveling 1500. miles one way Mecum to the auction there was no communication or guidance for a 1st time seller. I paid for a Star spot on Saturday and there were very few bidders and it was rushed across the stage like it was on fire. The "helper" if you can call him that tried to get me to accept an insulting bid after less than 1 minute then immediately shut the bid off. I will never go again or reccommend Mecum to anyone.

Before I decided to write this I have made 4 calls to Mecum
I gave them plenty of warning and notice with constant mis information and lies.
The whole auction itself is filled with bad information and promises that Do Not Happen
If you have pride in your vehicle Do Not bring it to Mecum. Nobody cares. You are just a number (left windows down after moving my truck)
If you think you will have Anyone helping you when it’s time to go across. You Will not.
As you watch on TV and see them stall for the million dollar cars trying to get the most money for them.
That will not happen
You will be pushed through and No One Cares
After it goes across there is no paperwork No documents. They tell you Check will be mailed
You will receive it within 10 days
All lies
Called to find out after 14 days. Told oh we don’t start sending them out till after 14 days in groups called at 16 days asked where is the check. Oh we don’t send them out till after 3 weeks.
Asked for a supervisor for the third time
Was told check was in the mail on Monday. Called Friday No check. We have no way of tracking your money.

So. After giving $5000to Mecum Auction they can’t send a second day air envelope for $18.

I would keep writing my horrible experience however I need to call Orlando police file a stolen vehicle report. Email the Better Business Bureau. The Attorney General and the local news channels

The new format for TV coverage is horrible. I used to love to watch Mecum, and I've been to their live sales in Harrisburg PA many times. Sorry but I'll switch back to Barrett-Jackson. It sucks that Mecum does not show the bidders or the crowd anymore, just run the cars across the block as fast as possible

Terrible first time seller experience thought it was a car auction was told my car would go across the block between 2 and 3 pm we watch all morning and afternoon mini bikes that hot mote auction time them my car did while it was being auctioned the guy on the stage was just talking to me about lowering my price which I wasn't interested in doing bit he kept pushing along with the missing or not correct or entire information I was given or not given I will never do that again with Mecum what a terrible and disappointing experience ven with getting Mr Mecum involved he was a paper tiger in the beginning I was impressed with him getting involved but all I was doing was interrupting him and all I keep hearing was this was the biggest show they did so they were on a train track and a train was coming so you let it hit you or do you do something about ive always been in business and I never let my problems become my customers problem I will never recommend or do business with Mecum again lessson learned buyer or seller beware they could help you more then they actually do to top it off I have the opportunity to sell the car for my asking price but have to wait 10 days foe the title

I landed up having to buy a Volkswagen bug because I waved to a friend of mine and the guy came over so will you just did this last bid you have to go ahead and buy it you have to do this. I went in the office complained and thought everything is well will take you to court. Will do this. We’ll do that and ran it up costing me money and I finally the guy talked to the guy that put it up for bid any offered me $8000 less for it then I paid them for it But I had to take it so I was out $8000 waving to a buddy of mine to come over and sit I hate Mika auction. They’re liars their thieves and you gotta be careful cause I’ll take it for a ride and the bug was a piece of junk

My complaint is with the TV coverage, which is getting worse with each televised auction. It seems like the goal is to show fewer and fewer vehicles actually going through on stage, what with all the previews of vehicles coming up “later” or “tomorrow”, all of which will get ample time once it’s their turn on stage. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched a vehicle coming up the ramp that I was looking forward to see, when they switch to another “preview”, go to commercials, then come right back to “preview” another one. I know commercials are a way of life, but it’s frustrating to hear the auction going on in the background while Bill or Chris is telling us all about something that will get plenty of attention when it hits the block.

this only for the broadcast,when you have a auction and 2/3 of the cars don’t meet the reserve and nothing sells,it get really boring,dont put cars up for auction from owners who have stupid expectations on what there cars are worth,make it be no reserve like the other guys,no reserve makes it fun.
