Know before you buy

As a car broker, our goal is to help you facilitate the purchase of vehicles at auctions, specifically in places like Copart, IAA or Manhein in all cities in the United States. Before we dive into the details, let me give you an overview of how this business works.

I invite you to analyze this information carefully to get a general idea of how this business works. Once you have read these details, we will be happy to speak with you in person or over a call and discuss the more specific aspects. We are here to help you every step of the process of purchasing vehicles at auction.Do not hesitate to contact us!

Buy vehicles at auctions

 

Vehicle auctions are held in large parking lots where cars are ready to be purchased. Copart, for example, charges a 16% commission on the vehicle amount. For our part, as a car broker, we charge a fee that can vary from $250 for each purchase made, depending on the value at which the vehicle is purchased, but never exceeding $5,000.

 

We can acquire cars at any auction in the United States, taking advantage of the wide variety of options available. You have the freedom to examine them over the Internet and evaluate the extent of the damage they present. If the car requires repairs, you can do it locally or, if you prefer, I can send you the damaged vehicle and the necessary parts in a container so that you can restore it yourself. For example, a serious repair to the rear end could cost around $1,200, while replacement parts could add up to about $1,000.

 

Example: HONDA CIVIC 2018

  • Car: $2700

  • Copart Commission: $400

  • Dealer commission (Me): $250

  • Repair: $600 (Optional)

  • Pieces: $400 (Optional)

 

Explore your world with freedom of choice: when it comes to transportation to your country or city within the US, there are many options available. From customs agents to quotes and planning, we take advantage of the opportunity to find the best option and make your purchase a reality, adjusting to your needs and budget. 

 

READ: Transportation within the United States offers affordable solutions that can range from $60 to $1,500 to cover distances from one end of the country to the other. In addition, we take care of bringing the vehicle and the title directly to your home. Of course, the most economical option will always be sought, as there are a wide variety of alternatives available.

 

However, prices may vary depending on the condition of the vehicle. If we are talking about major damage, such as a completely destroyed rear end that requires the entire purchase of that section of the car, the costs can be higher. However, there are also vehicles with minor damage that can be purchased at a very reasonable price. It's all about knowing how to buy, something we can teach you.

 

Most cars manufactured after 2013 have no mechanical problems and are in optimal condition, especially when they have low mileage, for example, 130,000 miles or less. Here in the United States, the roads are free of potholes and the speed limits are relatively low, so vehicles don't try too hard. In addition, the temperature is usually moderate for 75% of the year, which means that the cooling and air conditioning systems are practically new always. This is why many Hispanics buy vehicles from 2012 onwards without even checking them, especially brands like Toyota, Nissan and Honda, since they are very resistant cars and are unlikely to have major damage to the engine, transmission or suspension.

 

We hope this information gives you an idea of how this business works. Buying wrecked cars from the years 2016, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 can be very profitable, since they have a very affordable price and, once repaired, their market value is similar to that of new vehicles sold at dealerships.
