1967 Mercedes 250S 4 door, not running. Stored by Donald Nygaard, Woodbury, MN, VIN 0801210046945, Balance on date of sale $135,009.06. Redemption amount on date of sale $4500.

As I read that, the owner has to cough up $4,500 before the auction or he looses the car to whoever bids on it and wins. You'll have to ask about the key and a title when it's over.
