You've probably either seen people advertising them or you may
have even looked into buying cars through auto auctions. But
my
bet is that is about as far as you have gotten. I only say
that
because if you are like me and 95% of America you were pretty
quickly turned off by either hearing or reading the words
"MUST
HAVE A DEALER LICENSE TO PARTICIPATE." Let me tell you I was
turned off in a major way.
I mean who wants to pay the government for the right to do yet
another thing under their complete control? And who has the
money to pay for things like dealer licenses when all you want
is a good deal on an automobile? After all you aren't going to
actually profit from it. There's another thing too! Who wants
to go through all of the rigmarole of the licensing process
required for the auto auctions with credit checks and
background checks and the new numbers you have to memorize and
the new tax documents you have to fill out? I surely don't
have
the time or the energy for adding another huge pain in the ass
to my already long list. Do you?
Well thankfully, for the both of us, there are people who
aren't as willing to be discouraged in the face of a little
bit
of adversity--especially when the potential for huge money
savings is on the line! Probably one of the best and probably
the luckiest things that I ever did was to marry my wife. She
is one of these people!
We were both sitting in front of the TV late one night
flipping
through a lot of crap when an ad came on for buying "police
seized cars at pennies on the dollar!" This ad for government
auto auctions caught our attention because I had just been
laid
off and we had just smashed our only car into a deer a couple
of
days before. We were in bad shape financially and my wife
needed
a car pronto in order to keep her job. Well like I said, I
went
and got on line to check this auction company out and as soon
as I saw that a dealer license was required I gave up. My wife
on the other hand decided that it wouldn't hurt to make a few
calls and see what was all involved.
I'll say it again, boy am I glad I married her because by
making that call she got us out of a tough spot. You see what
she learned was that the dealer license was no big deal it was
simply a trip down to the secretary of state, write a check,
and take home your license that day. You could even get a
temporary license if it was just going to be a one time
purchase.
Well to make a long story short, we ended up getting a
temporary license, went to an auction and came away with a
beautiful vehicle for pennies on the dollar and sold it 6
months later for a nice profit. When I saw how easy it was, I
decided to do it for my new job and have been doing it ever
since.
