Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the cars so cheap? How can this be true?
Every day hundreds of new vehicles are added to inventory and dealer lots. Vehicle owners default on their car loans or lease payments, vehicles are repossessed, government agencies upgrade their fleets, police departments liquidate assets and more. As a result, these vehicles are often put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder without reserves. Currently only car dealers a small amount of informed citizens know about these deals, which is why we created this site. To provide access to the listings and advertisements for these low cost cars and auctions.
Do you sell the vehicles directly?
No. We are not a car dealer, and do not have a license to be. We operate by collecting data and listings from dealers, auction sites and other sources, and provide them to the public via this website and its ads.
Do you offer any sort of financing?
Because we are not a car dealer, or selling you the vehicles directly, no, we do not offer any types of financing or loans.
Are these vehicles in good mechanical condition? What about cosmetic condition?
The vehicles advertised are usually in B+ or A- mechanical condition. As they are often used vehicles, some with very high mileage, we can't guarantee the mechanical reliability or condition. It is up to the buyer to inspect the vehicle before purchase, or at least make an informed decision after speaking to the company representing the listing.
Do any of these auctions or liquidation houses offer a warranty on these cars?
This is on a case by case basis. However, from our experience most auction centers will offer a 3 month limited warranty on the purchase, any coverage past that would be at an additional fee.
Is there a way to check on the VIN of a car I am interested in?
Yes, there are many online services that offer this. Simply copy and paste the VIN into a site like CarFax.com or CarProof.com and generate a report. A small fee often applies.
Where do these cars and trucks come from?
These vehicles ared sourced from a variety of places. The primary source is lenders, like banks and financial institutions that have repossessed a vehicle from an owner or leasee who has stopped paying their monthly payments. Next, salvage, theft recovery and flood damaged vehicles are normally from the insurance companies, who have had to buy back a vehicle after paying a claim, and are now selling off a vehicle for parts, or to be repaired by a new owner. Lastly, government agencies, police departments and even the military will bulk liquidate their vehicles as they upgrade or replace vehicles in their fleet.
Are there any other websites that have these types of vehicles on them?
Yes. We recommend eRepairables.com or Copart.com
