-WARNING-

 

VEHICLES SOLD BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ARE SOLD “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND NO WARRANTIES,  WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, BOTH OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY BUYER.  NO EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS IS AUTHORIZED TO GRANT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER OR TO MODIFY THE TERMS OF THIS DISCLAIMER IN ANY MANNER.

Many Illinois State Police vehicles being offered were equipped with an after-market airbag switch. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved the State's request to install air-bag switches for certain vehicles owned by the State of Illinois and operated by the Illinois State Police.  The airbag switches remain active due to the safety benefits provided by airbag switches to the vast majority of drivers.

Purchasers of used vehicles sold by the State of Illinois are cautioned, admonished, encouraged and advised to have the air-bag safety unit inspected prior to operation. All Purchasers are further cautioned that they are solely responsible for conforming to the requirements of any applicable and lawful ordinance, rule or statute governing the resale of vehicles purchased from the State of Illinois.

Air Bag Safety Tips

• Find out if the vehicle has been recalled for safety problems. That information is available on The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Web site: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/;

• Check the vehicle's crash test results with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The web site is http://www.iihs.org/. The IIHS is a nonprofit research and communications group funded by auto insurers. You can also find crash test results and other information on  NHTSA's Web site;

• Check for signs of previous damage, including mold, paint that doesn't match the rest of the vehicle, frayed safety belts, fenders and doors that don't align, silt in the trunk, and uneven tire tread;

• Check the airbag indicator light on the dashboard. (It's sometimes marked "SRS" for supplemental restraint system). If the light doesn't come on, it could mean the airbag system isn't working. Car experts say the airbag warning light in most vehicles comes on when you start the car and stays on for a few seconds. If the light stays on longer, there could be a problem with the airbag system.

• Inspect the airbag cover to be sure it's original and not a replacement. Most original covers are marked "SRS" or "S/R".

The condition of the property offered for sale is not warranted. Deficiencies, when known, have been indicated in the property descriptions.

CMS further cautions Bidders that the State’s written description represents the State’s best effort to describe the item based on the information provided to it by the owning agency. Therefore, gross omissions regarding the functionality of equipment, failures to cite major missing parts, and/or restrictions with regards to usage may occur. CMS does not warrant the merchantability of the property or its purpose. The absence of any indicated deficiencies does not mean that none exists.

Equipment is sold "as is, where is." No warranties are expressed or implied. The purchaser is not entitled to any payment for loss of profit or any other money damages - special, direct, indirect, or consequential. ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

 

ORAL STATEMENTS & MODIFICATIONS

Any oral statement or representation by any representative of CMS, changing or supplementing the offering or contract or any condition thereof, is unauthorized and shall confer no right upon the purchaser. Further, no interpretation of any provision of the contract, including applicable performance requirements, shall be binding on the State of Illinois, its agencies, unless furnished or agreed to, in writing by the State of Illinois or its designated representative.

 

BIDDING PROCESS

 

The auction format will be an on-line public auction to the highest bidder. Please note the times displayed are Central Standard Time (CST). Bidders are urged to review the auction details.

It is the responsibility of the Bidder to follow-up on the status of his/her bid. When purchasing property for sale, funds or monies of the eligible Bidder should be readily available. CMS is not obligated to wait for eligible Bidders to arrange for financing, and such action, at the sole discretion of CMS, may result in termination of sale and award made to the next eligible Bidder. To maximize the return to the taxpayers, the State will automatically extend the auction in 3-minute increments until one (1) clear uncontested winning is awarded.

 

CONSIDERATION OF BID

 

It is the policy of CMS to monitor bids and other activities. CMS reserves the right to reject any and all offers at its sole discretion. Offers can be rejected for any reason, or no reason, including without limitation for containing inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information, or information which is deemed to have been given in bad faith.

CMS monitors for suspicious activity and ineligible offers. Unusual offers of bad faith offer from inactive or unknown parties or organizations are subject to investigation and cancelation at any time. If a posted offer is deemed unacceptable to CMS for any reason, the eligible Bidder with the next highest bid, who is in compliance with the online terms and conditions, will become the current high offer.

It is a violation of law to submit offers using a false name or any other fraudulent information, and such offers may not be processed, even if CMS initially accepts your electronic offer. Be aware that if you provide false information, CMS will remove the fraudulent bid from the database and hereby reserves the right to pursue all legal means available to the State of Illinois to prosecute.

 

NOTIFICATION OF SALE RESULTS

 

Successful bids by eligible Bidders will be notified by email, and the eligible Bidder must immediately, after the sale and upon receipt of the award email notification, pay for an item and call to schedule pick-up. Offers and results of sale will not be furnished via telephone or fax.

It is the Bidder’s responsibility to follow-up on the status of his/her bid, and to ensure that his/her email address and all registration data are kept accurate and up-to-date. If at any time, your information changes, it is your responsibility to update the appropriate information promptly.

Warning: CMS is not responsible for failures by your Internet Service Provider. If any emails are undeliverable and returned due to an inaccurate email address, CMS may remove such registrants from the database.

 

TERMINATED AUCTIONS

 

It may be necessary to withdraw items from the sale due to public safety issues, emergencies, technical errors or uncontrollable circumstances. Sales may also be terminated because the property is no longer available due to State agency needs, the property becomes damaged, the property is stolen, or property was improperly described. Items may be re-offered at a later date at the discretion of the State.

 

BLOCKED FROM BIDDING

 

In the event any Bidder provides false information, bids using unacceptable/profane username,  as determined by CMS in its sole discretion, or defaults for non-payment or non-removal, such Bidder lose all rights to place bids for other items for a one (1) year period. With regards to improper usernames, the Bidder will be contacted and asked to re-register using a more appropriate username, and the "offensively named" account will be blocked to prevent further use.

 

REOFFERING AND RESALE OF ITEMS

 

Please be advised that items and equipment that are available in the sale are considered the property of the State until such time as it is awarded by the State. As such, and prior to award, removal, and full possession of item/loss by the awarded surplus Bidder, this property may not be advertised, offered, pre-sold, or otherwise represented as the property for personal gain. Actions made in violations of this warning may result in legal action and prosecution against the awarded Bidder by CMS.
