I need to buy a newer, reliable car preferably a convertible in the next few weeks and i don’t know where these auctions are held. I don’t want any of these online sites I want to be able to physically start the car and see it before the auction. Also if you could tell me an estimate of how much to bring that would help.

I’m a female student who needs a cheap, but reliable car. I am wondering if there are any auto auction places near Tempe, AZ and how they work. Also, does anyone know any good websites to search for cars online?

What kind of luxury cars would you find at a car auction? Would they be priced good? and would you ever find one that is only a 1 year old? Thank you.

I am in search of my next Mustang and each one that I find online I do a Carfax history report on. All but one Mustang I’ve found to have been sold at an auction. It doesn’t state the vehicle ever being reported in an accident, but everyone tells me that’s a red flag. That it was likely in an accident and it was fixed up and sold to the dealership.

I find it odd that every car I find has been sold at an auction. Would they really all have been in accidents or even fleet cars?
Couldn’t it be that they just got repoed due to financial situations?

Would you get the car if it had been sold at an auction previously?

Auctions can be okay sources, when looking at the car fax look at the original owner. What state. What you really want to avoid are flood cars. Carfax does have a money back guarantee. If there was an accident, damage and it was not reported, car fax will refund your money, buy the car from you, if you register within 45 days or so after the purchase and car fax. ( free) So car fax is a good source. But you eventually have to touch and drive and look at the car. Look for water in the trunk, smells of musty or mildew. Flood water will majorly mess up your electronics. If a factory warranty still is active, depending on miles and age of car, that reduces your risk as well. Try and buy from a reputable dealer, someone with a service shop. You can get mustangs at any Ford dealer. If you have credit or cash, you are in control and have buying power now. Offer a price.

Denver News

BBB Flooded With Complaints On 2 Auto Auction Sites
Stars-Automart, Autoaven Sent Cease And Desist Letters
POSTED: 12:41 pm MDT August 11, 2009
DENVER — The Denver office of the Better Business Bureau said its telephone helpline has been jammed with calls from people across the country who are asking about two auto sales Web sites that claim to be headquartered in Denver.
According to the BBB, calls have been nonstop and the BBB has sent a "cease and desist" notice regarding trademark infringement to the company because of a fake BBB report the sites link to that falsely shows the company with an A+ rating.
The two Web sites list one physical address as 10701 W. Sixth Ave, but that address actually belongs to BBB Accredited business, Automotive Avenues, Inc. Another link goes to 3925 Monaco Parkway, which actually belongs to Cintas Document Management — a paper shredding company.

The two Web sites, www.stars-automart.com and www.autoaven.com, claim to offer sales of repossessed vehicles.
The BBB said customers complain that once a majority payment is sent via MoneyGram to a Denver address, the company ceases communication. The company has not responded to the BBB.
An Internet check shows the two domain names are registered to a private registration company in Sunnyvale, Calif.
The BBB said it sent out the warning because on-delivery and Internet auction fraud were the top two complained-about fraud types at the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
"The BBB takes complaints very seriously and does not want any more consumers to be victimized," a news release stated.
TheDenverChannel attempted to contact the Web sites without success. The phone number listed on the site goes to a recording, which suggests callers contact them by e-mail. The same section of the stars-automart.com Web site lists a James Stewart as the owner.
To protect from online scams, the BBB has the following suggestions:
• Verify any organization credentials with the organization directly, (BBB, AutoTrader, Consumer Reports logos, etc.)
• Check the company’s BBB report at www.denver.bbb.org or by calling 303-758-2100. Only do business online with websites you are familiar with and that have a positive track record.
• Make sure the website has a privacy policy. It will contain agreements on how the information you provide on the website will be used and kept private and secure. Print this and keep it in your records.
• The privacy policy may also contain the company’s mailing address. Only do business with companies that provide a sure method of contact, should something go wrong.
• Do not wire transfer any payment. Wired funds cannot be traced and therefore cannot be recovered if you are a victim of fraud.
• If you have become a victim of fraud, contact your BBB and the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov to file a complaint.

Please dont fall for this and report them to law enforcement

hopefully yahoo will prevent all the pro scammers from entering data on this site.
I am only trying to warn people that the scammers come on yahoo and say that they are a good company when they are a scam. If you feel that this is wrong to post this information please send me an email
N

I am one of those idiots who fell for the scam. Then the scammers come on YA and tell what a good deal it is. All I’m trying to do is prevent others form becoming and idiot

you mean Stars-automart.com, autoaven.com and barrera-autosales.com are scams??

I thought something was fishy when I saw the same exact Ford Flex on all three sites with the same stock numbers, pictures and VINs.

Good thing there are vigilent people on YA to try and stop others from losing their shirts.

Thanks for the heads up!

i posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a broker/dealer to find a specific car for me. the ad got flagged and taken down. the flagger emailed me and said i was "asking dealers to violate his relationship with Manheim" and that i had "possible curbstone sales activities as an unlicensed dealer". i don’t even know what that means!!!!

here’s the original ad:

"seeking an HONEST licensed auto broker or dealer that has access to all the major auto auctions (i.e., Manheim, etc) and wholesale lease return sales; would like for you to give me online descriptions or some access to self-shop through auction inventories.

i’m happy to pay a fee for this service, but it must be fair. ideally the cost of the car DMV/tax fees your fixed fee will be less than what i can get from a dealer after haggling with them."

what’s wrong with this? someone please enlighten me.

that makes total sense, but only if that were the case.

in my case, i am merely looking for a dealer to find the exact car i want to buy for myself, not to sell back to the public for any profit. i just want to buy a car with the specs that i like, not just merely any car he’s got on his lot with options or colors that don’t suit me. is that wrong?

What you are trying to get a dealer to do is illegal. You are asking them to be your proxy and buy cars at auction on your behalf. Then, you sell them. That makes you a defacto dealer without a license – which circumvents DMV and state laws. That is what is meant by ‘curbing’ or as they said ‘curbstoning’ a car. Its also a way for a dealer to resell a car that is not technically fit for resale to the public. If he sells to you, then you resell it – that becomes a private party transaction, and not subject to his bond or license.

Mannheim prohibits dealers doing this because, as I said, its illegal.

With all of that said, many wholesalers and small dealers do engage in this practice. Its not uncommon. However, its also not something they, or you, should be so brash as to ask or answer in an open forum. You may as well post saying ‘looking for a getaway driver for bank heist’

EDIT: No, what you want is not wrong. However, one can easily see how your ad might be interpreted the same way I did.
