Why Auto Auctions?
Are you tired of being hassled any time you want to look at used autos? Is it intimidating to ask a used auto salesman for the history of the car you might purchase? Do you even believe what he tells you? What about all those extra charges that got added to your bill when you weren’t looking?
High pressure sales tactics can leave you gasping for air and confuse even the savviest shopper. Used auto salesmen depend on this to get you to take that lemon off their hands.
Most private car sales aren’t any better. Whether you’re considering purchasing your neighbor’s car or the mayor’s vehicle, the seller has a reason to tell you what you want to hear – he’s trying to get you to take a problem off his hands.
Don’t fall for it.
Auto auctions are different because there are no salesmen. You are the one responsible for picking out an auto, inspecting it, and setting the price. You decide what you want to pay, and you can walk away at any time.
The vehicles at car auctions average 40,000 miles on the meter and 2-3 years in age. And you can get these kinds of cars at up to 90 percent of the retail value every day in every state.
Are low prices for such valuable cars too good to be true? Can this even be legal?
It is legal, and it is true. Governmental agencies, banks and police departments around the country need to sell gently used cars every day. Why? The cost of storing them is so high that the agencies would rather take a loss on their investments than pay to store them.
Their loss is your gain. Purchasing your next vehicle through an auto auction rather than a used car lot or private transaction will save you both money and aggravation.
