Author: Salvage Cars Auction: Buyer Beware!
Salvage car auctions are probably something you hear about that everybody tells you to stay away from. But do you know why everybody makes them seem like such a big deal? Do you even know what a salvage title car is? If you’re like most people out there the answer is no. So don’t feel bad about it because by the end of this article you’ll know exactly what they are and why you should avoid them at all costs.
First and foremost you should know what a salvaged car is. It is a vehicle that has been in an accident flood or fire that the driver’s insurance company has determined to be unrepairable or otherwise unsafe to drive. Even if the car is fixed it will never be the same as when it first rolled off the assembly line and will not be guaranteed to respond the way it was designed to react in an accident. So it may crush where it was supposed to bend and you can really get hurt. Which is why most insurance companies will not give you full coverage on a salvage car and a lot of repair shops won’t even bother to work on one.
It is also for this same reason that you have to be a licensed car dealer to even attend a salvage car auction. Of course you can become friends with a dealer and tag along with them to their next auction but I doubt you really want to take the risk of buying a salvage car which is a car that has been deemed to be totaled. If you want to get a really cheap car there are plenty of car auctions open to the public out there that have great cars for pennies on the dollar. The good thing about it is you won’t have to worry about them increasing your risk of getting seriously hurt if you get into an accident and you will be able to get full coverage insurance which is always a good thing to have on your side.
Did you know that some public car auctions have cars for under 1000? Yep it’s pretty cool. Don’t know where to find one? Then check out MyCarAuctionReview.com for a review of the best car auction sites around.
