We will disclose anything we come across, but we want to provide a friendly reminder that the vehicle is sold without a warranty after the sale.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re proud of every vehicle we sell and welcome prospective buyers to visit our dealership in Silicon Valley to view and inspect this notable DTS before the auction ends.
