Understanding Premium Direct Vehicles, Inspections & Delivery
Welcome to Remarket Space (RMS), where we’re proud to offer an innovative and fully online vehicle buying experience. Our Premium Direct program combined with our thorough inspection process and easy delivery options ensures you get trusted vehicles — without ever needing to visit a lot in person.
What is a Premium Direct Vehicle?
A Premium Direct vehicle is a car listed and sold entirely online from the seller’s lot — it never travels to a TCA facility. Here’s how it works:
-
Our expert RMS inspection team visits the seller’s location to conduct a complete inspection.
-
We take 30+ high-resolution photos, perform a detailed mechanical inspection, and record a virtual test drive video.
-
The vehicle is then listed live in our auction with a special “Premium Direct” badge in the vehicle announcements so you know it’s inspected and ready for bidding.
This means you get the same trusted RMS inspection standards, more inventory options, and faster listings — all without the vehicle leaving the seller’s lot.
Why Buyers Love Premium Direct

-
Convenient delivery: We arrange transport directly to you, within 24-48 hours.
-
Simple buying: No need to coordinate pickup or transportation — just bid, pay, and relax while we handle the logistics.
How Our Inspection Process Works
Our on-site inspection ensures you can shop online with confidence:
-
30+ high-quality photos capture every angle and detail of the vehicle.
-
A full mechanical checklist highlights the condition of key systems.
-
A virtual test drive video lets you see the vehicle in action.
-
No cleaning or staging — what you see is exactly what you get.
-
Inspections are done only by RMS-trained staff to maintain consistent quality.
If you come across a concern that doesn’t match our report or video, our arbitration process has you covered — just like with any traditional RMS sale.
Delivery & Pickup Made Easy
We take the hassle out of getting your new vehicle:
- Deliveries within MN are usually able to be completed within 48 hours.
- We coordinate all transportation — no need to arrange your own tow or pickup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I see the car in person before bidding?

A: If you find discrepancies between the vehicle and our report, you can file a claim through our trusted arbitration process — just like any other RMS purchase.
