In 2002, I had no money, but needs a new car badly. I have months making car auctions and eventually found a few in my area. I bought a 1997 Jeep Cherokee with 90k miles for $ 4500th It was an almost identical model on eBay with a starting price of $ 10k. Then I saw the opportunity to make some money from this endeavor. . . Thus one months later I bought a 1999 Impala with 40k miles for $ 4300 and sold it 2 weeks later, on Craigslist for $ 7900th After that I became addicted. Now I’m mirroring over 10 cars per month for about $ 1500 profit ever. Lately, I want to know her many phone calls and even e-mails from anyone, how to earn some extra cash by buying and selling cars, so I have put this guide together, how to start (check out my website for more). As with any other company to make money buying and selling cars is not necessarily as easy as one would think, and it can not be explained by a telephone call or by e-mail. I could fill 1000 pages with tips, tricks and methods for successfully buying at car auctions and I someday I might. . . but now I can offer some important points for getting started and answer some of the big questions out there. I bought a lot of ebooks out there and they all gave good tips on how to buy at car auctions, but that was all. I was paying $ 19 – $ 30 for a guide that is not actually a list of auctions that I should be buying at. So I started compiling a list of list of every single car sold by the state and agency. . . () on my website. What I choose to generate this business: The biggest and most important reason I chose this business I was looking for a way to a sustainable passive income. There are so many fantastic deals at so many auctions but the vast majority of people will never know. I also know that car market is huge. Almost everyone that is a car these days buys a different car every 5 years or so heard. There is absolutely no question about the size of the car market and demand for consumers. There is always a good demand for agreement on a good car – even if there is not one that you would remember the car just because somebody will pay for it. One good thing about a tough economy is that many people will be looking to give someone, they can build a good piece on a car. The first step is to find a list of auctions in your area. Many counties have police auctions every month. Note – some of these auctions require a dealer license so that you want to check whether the time before. (Find a list at www. Officialgovernmentgrants. Com) If you have an auction, get a money-list of vehicles to the auction. For example, at a recent auction in my area, there were 3 cars that have my interest: – 2001 black Honda Accord with a little over 37k miles on it. – 2003 white Chevy Impala with 90k miles on the odometer. – 2003 gray Ford F-150 pickup with 67k miles on the odometer. All three cars are popular models with under 100k miles and good colors (although I’m not crazy about the white Impala, it is) actually a very popular color. There is very little information other than the image. The Impala and the F150 were likely government vehicles and the Honda was probably a seizure (in the photo also looks like there were some ‘ground effects’ modifications – probably a drug dealer). The Impala has almost 100k miles on it, but the good news that the government be maintained vehicles are normally very good, which should help them sell faster. These are all prime examples of good taste and buy cars at auction. Now we need to find out how much for each bid. At this point is worth discussing some of the different auction formats. Many government auctions are “sealed bid”, which means that you make an offer, with other people without seeing what their bids. Then, win the highest bidder. These auctions are tougher for obvious reasons. The other type of auction are what is considered the standard Dutch “auction” in which the bid starts at a certain price and various bidders offer higher prices until the car is sold, known. Unfortunately, this auction a “sealed bid” auction so I will really do my homework. The trick with ’sealed bid “auction is that you to make a bid that is low enough to present to make a profit, but high enough to win the car. In recent years, several auctions have become increasingly popular, what I call the ‘amateur buyer’. These are the people who offer more than the car is really worth. You win the car, but they take a very good money making opportunity away from you in this process. In general, the auction a “sealed bid” I start with the Kelley Blue Book value on a general idea of the price get. Remember – this is really just a quick starting point. What do you really want to know is what the dealers pay for these vehicles. Dealers are paying a price to make a profit – and that is what you want to pay. . . because it means that you are, a decent profit. How do you find out? Call the department for loan from a local bank and ask for the Manheim Market Report (MMR) price. Most banks have subscriptions to this data, which will be the average prices that similar vehicles were for sale at auction. So for the 3 cars I do I get the following MMR prices: 2001 black Honda Accord EX with 37k miles: $ 7.6302003 white Chevy Impala with 90k miles: $ 1.9502003 gray Ford F-150 pickup with 67k: $ 4100 Since my interest is now the Honda Accord is such a popular model and this is not a ‘public’ vehicle and looks like it had some upgrades (ground effects) – the car will probably receive bids in the range $ 8000th A quick look at eBay Motors, http://cars. com, or posting tells me that at that price I will be focused not commercial. I maintain that a bid of $ 7000 anyway. The Impala looks like my best chance to make a profit. While it has 90k miles on it, which is still under the important 100k threshold and because it is a ‘public’ vehicle it’s in very good condition and is probably not as much interest as the Honda Accord. And – there is always demand for Impalas believe it or not. These are great ‘functional’ vehicles for people looking for cheap – reliable transportation. I can not find similar compositions on Craigslist, but a quick check on eBay Motors and http://autotrader. com shows several compositions sales between 2 5k-4k. This is great news. I have a bid of $ 1,500. When I get my bid filled and then sell them for 3k then I’ve just made a $ 1400 (It is a premium) of 6% -10% on all of these auctions. The 2003 F-150 looks like a decent money-maker, if I get it for a good price. Autotrader and Ebay show compositions between 6k-10k. I have a bid of 4k for this one. The only good thing about “sealed bid” auction is that I know emotion will not force me, more now than I want. I have already determined my ideal acquisition price and the offer submitted. All I have to do now is wait and see if I can “Get Lucky”. One thing I did not see on-site inspection. The auction site is required to tell you if they know any problems with the vehicle (ie transmission was replaced, etc.). She also set aside a rule one days visit visually on a weekend and the cars – you can not rotate the motor or in the interior, but you can for every street to look for indicators of damage. In addition, the auction site will have each vehicles VIN number. Because the auction prices for these three relatively low and the Impala and F150 are ‘government’ vehicles, I am waiving the inspection. Note: I recommend not to do any due diligence. . . especially when you started. But once you purchased with the friendly process and sold a few cars, and know you will find the level of due diligence that should be done. A final question is whether a dealer’s license to sell these cars. The rules vary by state. For example, in Florida it is 3, in New York it is 6, in Ohio it’s 5, etc. A lot of people around this problem by selling some in the name of a spouse or a brother, parents, whatever. The bottom line is you can sell easily, about a dozen cars before you are forced to obtain a dealer license, if at all. Well, hopefully, has helped to learn a little about how to make a few thousand dollars at your local car auctions. For me it began when replacing the search for a new car and now it’s my job. All it takes a little time and research. . . www. OfficialGovernmentGrants. com is a good resource to start. . .
