6 Tips To Help You Get The Best Deal At A Salvage Vehicle Auction
Tip #1 Get To The Party Early
The earlier you get to the auction the better. This will give you time to see what all is available. It will also give you time to see what your competition is doing. If you can, talk to them and see what their bidding style is. You can learn a lot from your competition.
Tip #2 Check Out Each Car Thoroughly
As you know, the cars at this auction will more than likely be a total wreak. Even still, you should take the time to inspect the cars thoroughly. While a car may be a total wreak according to the insurance company, often times you will find parts that are still in great condition.
Tip #3 Always Verify
Keep in mind everyone at the salvage vehicle auction is in it for themselves. The auction house is trying to make money just like you are trying to save money. Never take the auctioneers word at face value. Always take the time to verify what they are saying. The auctioneer has one job and one job only. To portray the vehicle in the best light possible so they can get the best price possible.
Tip #4 Leave Your Emotions In The Car
When you go into these auctions chances are you won't be the only one looking at a particular vehicle. Many times you will end up in a bidding war. Before you bid on any item you need to know two things. The value range and your bidding ceiling. You should know how much you are willing to spend before you even get to the auction. When you get in a bidding war things can get very heated as you will want to win. But stay disciplined and refuse to go over your budget. Otherwise you may win the bid, but you will indeed have buyers remorse.

Cut Out the Middlemen and Get Huge Savings at a Wholesale Car Auction
Buying Direct at a Wholesale Car Auction
You must
aim to get big discounts if you are planning to purchase two or more cars, but
you can get much bigger discounts by cutting out the middleman and going straight
to the source; one of them being a wholesale car auction. Another method is
to buy direct from the owners. But this is a bit difficult since you need to
have a fairly good list of owners and companies that are selling their vehicles.
The better
option between the two is to visit wholesale auction houses where you can find
cars on public sale with incredibly low minimum bid prices. Some of them are
valued a lot cheaper than what the middlemen and second-hand car dealers are
selling them for. In fact, you shall be bidding with many used car dealers. This alone tells you that you are at the right place and will be getting a good bargain if
you win the bidding.
The Challenge of Bidding for Cars at Wholesale Auctions
However,
buying auctioned cars is not as easy as you think. This is quite different from
buying vehicles at dealers’ showrooms where you can get the cars of your
choice. In this case, you may not always get the lot of cars that you want
since acquisition of auctioned units will go through a bidding process where
there are other bidders competing with you.

How Does A Live Government Auction Work?
In practice, a
‘traditional’ live government auction is not complicated at all. Once you
become a member at usedonlinecars.com,
we’ll provide you with all the necessary information to find your local
repossessed automobile auction. Then it’s simply a case of turning up in the
morning to inspect the cars on offer, picking out a bargain, and then placing
the winning bid at the auction for that car later in the day. Now given that
these auctions really are publicized very little and also that the database at usedonlinecars.com is so comprehensive
that it offers a multitude of different monthly auctions in each region, it’s
not uncommon that there are almost no other bidders at the auction, meaning
these cars go for a fraction of their real value. Many of the lots on offer
begin at prices as low as $100 and in cases, they never go any higher. Most
auction houses also offer an ‘inspection day’ a few days prior to the event to
allow potential buyers to preview the items on sale and make a selection. This
can be a really helpful process as it allows you to work out just how much
you’d be willing to spend on an individual lot at auction. In addition, the
comprehensive step-by-step guides offered by the team at usedonlinecars.com
(which become immediately available upon signing on with the site) will give
you expert advice on making the right selection at auction.
