March 5th, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminList of five questions asked to help understand requirements’ based on what she is looking for before she buys a car.
How did you get the car? Cars that are sold through an auto auction are not was it bought from another dealership? Cars that were traded in by the original owner are usually the nicest used cars usually as nice as trade INS. Sometimes dealers will sell cars to other dealers. Was it traded in on a new car? Was it bought from an auction?.
How many owners has this car had? The original owner usually takes better care of a car than someone who buys it used. One owner used cars are typically nicer cars.
Has the car ever been wrecked, flooded, salvaged, stolen or had the odometer rolled back?, I guarantee the used car manager does. Besides. Most anyone who has sold cars for a while can spot a car that has been wrecked from a mile away. It’s simple to run a CARFAX and see if the car has ever been wrecked The salesperson will usually try to avoid giving you a straight answer on this. You may get as answer like “not to my knowledge,” or “the person who traded it in assured us it has not.”
What is the value on this car? Nevertheless, the answer the salesperson gives will show how forthcoming they are going to be. This is one of those questions you should know the answer to before asking
Is the title with car?
If the dealer does’ have the title present get a firm commitment, in writing, as to when it will be available. If you cannot get a commitment, do not buy. Without the title present, you technically dealers are not supposed to sell a car that they do not have a title for, but it happens all the time. Of. A car. has been traded in that the previous owner owed money on the title may still be held at the bank could run into delays in registering your car and buying license plates
Auto Fraud or Contract Dispute? What should I do?
March 2nd, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminI bought/financed a used car in August 2008 and recently tried to sell it to CarMax because I cant afford my payments anymore. When CarMax appraised the car they reported to me that the car was salvaged. Considering that when CarMax appraises a car they check the car’s title through AutoCheck.com.
I filed a complaint with the Investigations office through the DMV and they reported that the car was completely fine. And of course my bank would not have loaned me the money to purchased a salvaged car.
So basically, CarMax and/or AutoCheck.com are the only ones saying that the car is salvaged. I called AutoCheck.com and they said that the dealership bought the car from an auto auction, and the auto auction “announced” it as a salvaged title to the dealership; but neither the auto auction or the dealership reported the title to the DMV.
I called a lawyer that specifically deals with Auto Fraud but he would not take my case. He stated that the only way I would win is if the DMV said that the car was a salvaged title.
So I dont know what to do…and I dont want to pay 000 for a car that is only worth 00. Should I go to my bank or should I go to another lawyer? Am I entirely screwed? Does this happen a lot? Please, someone give me some advice!
Salvage Car Question
February 27th, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminMy dad recently bought a salvage car at an auto auction. He fixed it up and set an appointment at the state patrol for vehicle inspection in order to get license plates for the vehicle. I wanted to drive the car before the inspection, so I was wondering if I could get a temporary license or trip permit for my salvage title car until the inspection appointment?
Salvage title vehicle with no plates, can I drive it to its inspections?
February 24th, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminTheres this car that a girl bought from an auto auction. She hasnt registered it so I’m pretty sure I will have to pay for the Brake/Lamp inspection and the CHP inspection. The car has no plates. I want to drive it to the mechanic so they can do the mandatory inspection even though vehicle history reports show no collisions of any sort. Would this be legal?
Where can I find salvage motorcycles directly from the insurance company?
February 21st, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminI’m interested in purchasing cheap parts bikes directly from the insurance companies after a wreck. I am mostly interested in Harleys and I don’t have any interest in these gimmicky websites where you pay a fee and there are not a lot of bikes. I’ve looked at ebay but these are usually bikes being sold from the "person" who bought it from the insurance company (ie premium). There are some public auto auctions, but these are usually only limited to dealers. But maybe that is my only choice?
Are cars at an Insurance Auto Auction repaired before being sold to the public?
February 18th, 2010 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminhi im planning on buying a car from a local Insurance Auto Auction. I know that the vehicle is a salvage title and the pictures they have shown are the pictures of the cars damage, but i wanted to know if they repair the car before they put it up for bidding or do they sell the car damaged and the buyer has to repair the car.
THANKS

Wanna buy Scion XB wrecked or fixed. Any suggestions?
November 13th, 2009 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminI am looking to buy Scion XB. I don’t care if its wrecked, fixed, new, salvage or clean title. Also if you know of any auto auction that I can buy it from. Thank you for your help.
You might want to think it over. Parts is hard to get on that vehicle. You end up waiting for a long time for parts. Good Luck!
CAN A AUTO DEALER SELL YOU A CAR WITHOUT DISCLOSING A SALVAGE/TOTAL LOSS/REBUILT TITLE? PLEASE READ AND ANSWER?
November 10th, 2009 Filed under: Salvage Auto Auctions by adminOk… My wife and i I live in Oregon and we just purchased a car from a dealer in washington because it seem’d like a great buy. his craigslist ad stated the vehicle had a clean title. Also i asked this question over phone before we made the long trip up there with our daughter! I also asked IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COMING!? he said no it’s a great car. Anyway we got there and upon purchasing we asked again the title is clean right? yes stated the dealer! do you have the title so i can see it? NO we don’t have the title yet because we just recently bought it from a local auction. Ok i stated, do you have carfax? he said no which is kind of odd figuring almost every small/large dealer has carfax. anyway no biggy and the deal continued. he said he’d mail the title to us when he received it. Tonight i ordered car fax for fun and check my vin# on my used car we just purchased. well it’s coming up salvaged/totaled/rebuilt all over the car fax! i’m very mad! Forgot to mention too that we recently had a new windshield placed in the vehicle and acouple other things.
WHAT DO I DO? DO I CONTACT HIM? OR DO I SEEK LEGAL ADVICE? CAN ANYONE FIND ANY OREGON AND WASHINGTON LAWS THAT CAN HELP ME!? BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING!
IS THIS ILLEGAL IN MY STATES?
DOES A DEALER HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT A TITLE IS DIRTY?
IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR LIEING?
Maybe you need a new car. 
I found a huge list of Oregon car dealers. I think someone in your town can help assist you. http://www.localnewcar.com/Oregon-New-Cars.html Just phone one of them or drop by one day when you are not busy. Some car dealers can even setup a test drive.
