Save Thousands Purchasing Repossessed Autos
Author: Howard Young
Before purchasing a new or used car, you may want to consider
purchasing automobiles that are seized by the Government or
repossessed by Banks. The Government and Banks use an auction
process selling the car to the highest bidder.
Cars often auction off with starting price as low as $100 USD
and it is not unusual where you can save up to 90% off the book
value of the car. Winning the auction can save you thousands of
dollars or can extend your purchasing power allowing you to buy
into higher class of vehicles.
All makes and models from economy to Luxury vehicles are
auctioned with clean titles. Currently CheapCarSearch.
com lists over 250,000 vehicles that you can choose
from. The CheapCarSearch.com Website requires a low membership
fee, but considering the potential savings, it is well worth the
cost.
CheapCarSeach.com provides a search engine that quickly lists
the cars available in your area. You simply select the
automobile make and enter your zip code and you get a list of
cars by year, model, color and starting bid.
You will need to pre-register to participate in the auction.
CheapCarSearch.com handles this process and provides you with
the bidding instructions.
Each vehicle is assigned an auction number and a location of the
auction. You should inspect the vehicle prior to placing the bid
and have a good understanding of the retail blue-book value of
the car.
Edmunds.com is
an excellent
resource for researching prices and specifications for new and
used cars. The Website lists the current dealer retail prices
for all makes and models. As a goal, you should limit your
highest bid to about 50% of the dealer retail price.
The final bidding price of the auction is determined by
competition with other bidders. Try not to get caught up in the
excitement of the auction. You may even want to consider
attending an auction or two prior to bidding on the car you want
to get a feel for the process.
If you are the winning bidder, you will need to settle the
payment with the transaction clerk. You can use cash, check or
credit to settle the bid. Sometimes the Auction Company will
offer financing. Terms and settlement conditions are listed in
the bidding instructions. Read and fully understand the bidding
conditions prior to making any bids.
After you complete your purchase, you will receive an invoice
that will allow you to drive or ship your new car to your home.
The Auction Company will guarantee clean title to your new car
and will aid you in making shipping arrangements if you request.
Although the auction process is intimidating at first, it is
well worth the trouble since you can save thousands purchasing
repossessed autos though auctions.
