Bargain Network Motors Claims Public Auctions are One of the Best-Kept Secrets in Buying Used Cars
Bargain Network Motors Members Buy Used Cars for as Little as $500 through Public Auctions
Goleta, CA (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Public auctions are probably the best-kept
secret in buying used cars, reports Bargain Network Motors, a service provided by Bargain Network. Even though auctions have some of the best
bargains in used vehicles, few people know how to attend and successfully
purchase vehicles at auctions.
The Bargain Network Motors service
provides members toll-free access to Auto Experts who can search through a
proprietary database of over one million vehicles, many of them “distressed” --
that is, vehicles that sellers want to sell quickly. Most distressed auction
inventory comes from bank repossessions, abandoned vehicles, financial
institutions, charities, corporate liquidations and dealer trade-ins as well as
from the U.S. Government and local police departments.
Bargain Network Motors aids its members in the process of
researching, purchasing and maintaining cars, trucks and other vehicles so that
it’s easy and affordable. Bargain Network Motors can help members locate
vehicles in their area, advise them on price, provide discounts on vehicle
history reports as well as preferred rates on car care at a variety of
nationally-acclaimed auto repair and maintenance shops.
Bargain Network
Motors offers ten tips to ensure your auction experience is safe, easy and
rewarding:
- Attend auctions that belong to NAPAA (National Association
of Public Auto Auctions) to help ensure that you’re dealing with a reputable
auction. Less reputable auctions may sell cars that have been salvaged, totaled
or taken apart in some manner.
- Inspect carefully and early. Remember
that most auctions are "as is" so your inspection is critical. Take notes and
use a digital camera if you have one.
- Arrive early. You'll have enough
time to get settled and inspect vehicles.
- Weekdays and wet days often
offer the best opportunities for bargains.
- Bid early and late. The best
deals are often found at the beginning and end of auctions.
- Avoid
auction fever when bidding. Set a price ahead of time and stick with it.
(Bargain Motors members can call Bargain Auto Specialists during the auction for
advice on how much to pay.)
- Be patient. Most auctions have more than
300 cars available per auction so there's bound to be a car you like.
-
Find out how much the buyer fees are. Don't get surprised by the amount you have
to pay after you win the bid.
- Bring a friend. Auctions move fast, so an
extra pair of eyes always helps - especially if they know something about cars.
- Usually you can drive away in your new vehicle that day. The title
will be transferred once you pay in full. Cash or cash-equivalents, like
cashier’s checks and money orders, are the preferred method of payment. Some
private companies will accept credit cards.
