"There's Two Ways To Find Used Cars For Sale
At Wholesale Prices!"

It's really wonderful how the internet has changed "the car buying experience".

With a multitude of research sites such as Edmunds.com, Kelley Blue Book and Automotive.com, along with comparative shopping sites such as AutoTrader and Cars.com, the internet has gone a long way towards leveling the playing field for car buyers.

What was once a nightmare is now only a mild inconvenience, like many other purchases.

The internet has opened up "wholesale" opportunities as well:

ONE: For example, there are now data bases of public car auctions available online. Car shoppers can locate the auctions in their areas (both online and onlocation auctions) and purchase vehicles at wholesale prices ... just like dealers. Anyone can attend a "public" auction ... no license required.

That being said, I don't want it to sound "too easy", because it's not.

Car auctions aren't all over the place like dealerships, so it's not like driving from dealer to dealer on a Saturday afternoon. Expect to have some patience between auctions and be willing to drive an hour or two.

It's also unlikely that you'll see thousands of cars at these auctions. Most are much smaller with 50 to 300 vehicles.

Quality can also be an issue, with a majority of the vehicles being older. Many will also need some repairs. But typically, I'd estimate that 15% to 20% of the cars for sale are late-model, low-mileage vehicles.

The bottom line is that with a little bit of legwork and patience, savings can range from 20% to 60% over retail prices when you do things right.

If you're interested, I'd suggest additional information before trying these auctions, including what to expect, how to locate them, how to avoid the vehicles in poor condition and how to use them to your advantage at public auto auctions info.

TWO: If you don't want to go to auctions yourself, there are auto brokers (like us) who'll do it for you.

However, we almost all go to Dealer-Only auctions because we need access to large numbers of cars. And because they're so well attended, the bidding is aggressive and keeps prices usually higher than public auctions.

Auto brokers also need to be paid. The bottom line is savings usually in the 10% to 20% range below retail.

Here's where to learn more about our own auto auction buying service.

And much as we hate to turn away business, if you're not from here in Florida, you'd likely do better working with a broker in your own state due to shipping costs.

Try googling "auto broker your state" or "car buying service your state" (without the quotes) to identify companies that can possibly help you out.

When we first started this business in early 2003, I think we may have been one of the pioneers because we were shipping cars all over the country. Now we find operations similar to ours pretty much everywhere. Again, competition is great for the consumer.

Also ... an extra tip:

If buying a "used car" isn't for you and you'd prefer a "Brand New" Vehicle, please refer to the "best car negotiating tactic on the planet".


Hope this has been helpful ... Josh
