Brokering-Pre

Brokering a pre-owned vehicle is extremely simple. We will need up front the details of what you want. This includes the year, make, model, options, mileage, colors, and overall condition you are expecting. Next, we will need the amount you have budgeted for the purchase. Either in the cash amount or the payment you are expecting to make on a monthly basis. If making payments we will also need the amount of down payment you are expecting to put down on the vehicle. You can either use a bank or credit union of your choice, or we can set up a loan up for you. We are recognized by all the credit unions and banks in the area. All they will expect from you is a copy of the purchase order, which we will generate, and they will draft a check off of that.

After getting the above information we will determine if your budget is realistic. Many come to us and give a budget that’s unrealistic. If this is the case we will notify you of this and determine whether to increase the budget or lower your expectations of what you want. For example, get the same vehicle, but perhaps a year or two older, or perhaps one with higher mileage. Once we are on board with budget we will proceed to find the desired vehicle. We search for your vehicle through various means. Sometimes we will have what you want in stock. If not we turn to the local dealer auto auctions. There are two in the area which have approximately two thousand vehicles a week available for purchase. If we can’t find one locally, we will expand our search nationwide. Many times we have the most success doing the expanded search. No matter where we find your vehicle, you have the option of having the vehicle professionally inspected at an additional cost. The two inspections offered are a frame inspection and a mechanical inspection. The frame inspection ensures you that the vehicle has never been frame damaged. This means the structural integrity of the vehicle has never been compromised and repaired. The mechanical inspection checks the engine, transmission and four wheel drive assembly if applicable.

These inspections are performed after we successfully secure the vehicle through the bidding process at auction. If the vehicle doesn’t pass either of these inspections, we give the vehicle back and are not obligated to purchase it. If it does pass the inspection or you decide not to have the vehicle inspected we are obligated to purchase it. When purchasing at auction, we will not go over your budget. However, if the car comes in under budge, we will pass the savings on to you. When discussing your budget, say your budget is $15,000.00 and let’s say we get the vehicle to you for $14,800.00, this means; that is what you will pay for the vehicle landed at my office. That price will include all shipping charges and my fee.

Additional charges would be for the inspections, tax, license, and a $150.00 document fee. Other additional fees would be for any reconditioning you may want to have done to the vehicle before you pick it up. Examples of this may be, having the car professionally detailed, or perhaps it needs new tires and you would like us to take care of that for you. One final additional cost would be for an extended service contract, if that is something you would like for additional protection. We do not disclose our fee for purchasing the vehicle, for the simple reason it adds confusion to the transaction. Our prices and vehicles speak for themselves. As a general rule; if you go to an auto dealership and engage in lengthy negotiations on a particular vehicle, the same vehicle through us will be a minimum of $1,000.00 less and in many cases the savings are significantly more.
