Become an Auction Ninja and Watch Out for New Scam at Auctions!
Welcome to AutoHackers’ Weekly Digest – June 09, 2024
Every week, I share insights from running salvage auto auction marketplaces CARS4.BID. The goal of this digest is to help you avoid common mistakes when buying at auctions and to assist you in purchasing your dream car at the best possible price!
New features for CARS4.BID
Took longer than expected, but I am so excited! Wow! Auction Ninja is now part of the CARS4.BID infrastructure. Enjoy it!
- Saved search – new lot notification via website
We track new lots added, and you can see how many new lots have been added since the last time you checked.
- Filter by Color
You can narrow your search down to the specific color you’re looking for.
- Filter by State and then Filter by Auction Facility
This is the feature many of you have been asking for. In addition to searching by distance radius, you can now search for all cars at the closest facility to you. Save this search and be the first to know about new cars added to the auction run.
If you have an idea for a new feature that we’re missing, reply to this email and let me know. I am here for you, guys!
VIP bidding assistance
My team goes above and beyond to help our customers seal the best deals possible. Sometimes it takes half a day to win that final bid and celebrate the victory! We started at 8:14 a.m., when Ed from my team notified Аlbertro Еstrada that he was outbid at $10,200. Slowly, message after message, we reached an $18,500 bid and sealed the deal for the truck at $18,300 at 12:24pm during the live auction!
Truck retails at over $90,000 by the way!
VIP bidding assistance gets you the full attention of my team and VIP support. We can bid on your behalf via text message, bid on multiple vehicles simultaneously to win one, and perform a lot analysis to minimize risks (minimize Auction scam) before we even start bidding. Usually priced at $497, now you can get it as part of my Starter Kit for the low price of $49.95. Buy it now while it’s still available; you have 6 months to activate it.
New SCAM at auctions
We were bidding on a Fisker Ocean this week and won it at $15,125. However, the insurance company did not sell it. They set reserve at $22K, as the retail price was set at $64,109. Wow! Haha!
Did they even check the current prices for this car at any car marketplaces?
These cars went from $70K (once released) to $35K new within 6 months. The one we were bidding on was brand new with 6 miles; delivery went bad, and it got side damage. Brand new car is worth $45,000, while the one with side damage is not worth more than $15K.
So, before bidding, make sure you know the current market price of the car you are going to bid on, so avoid SCAM like that.
Cheapest buy of the week at CARS4.BID
Sold for $600! High mileage and repossession, but still a very good deal!
My choice of the week
2016 Audi S4. Sold for $8,100!
Minor front damage, good mileage, and an excellent savings!
$25 deal
2005 ACURA TL sold at IAAI just for $25!
Right side damage, and decent condition. Good for parts.
$90 deal
2010 MAZDA 6 sold at Copart for $90.
Vandalism damage. Run and drive condition. But you cannot go wrong with $90 for a car!
$100 deal
2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER sold at IAAI for $100.
Impossible, right?! Well, great deal happens daily!
Thank you for reading my digest, and have a great day!
