Don’t Just Look at Auctions for Repo Cars for Sale
When looking for good deals on used cars most people think the auctions are the best place to go. Most repo cars are sent directly to the auctions so the finance company can get a quick sale. This is fine but when you really want to find repo cars for sale don’t just start there. Contacting local “mom and pop” used car dealerships can be a great way to go. Most public auctions have so many customers that the high bids come close if not more than what you’d pay for a used car at a used car lot. Car dealers can get into auctions specifically for dealers that have repo cars for auction. Since it’s only dealers, even if there is no professional courtesy, when one dealer wants a specific car the high bids generally stay pretty low because dealers know they need to make room to bump up the price to make a profit. Make it a point to talk to the owner of the used car dealership, let them know what you’re looking for and what you’re willing to pay and when they go to the repo car auction they can usually get you what you want at the price you want.
