How To Choose A Junk Car In California, USA?
At our online auto auctions at AutoBidMaster, you can find plenty of salvage cars for sale in California. These are vehicles at auction prices.
But what many new buyers are not aware of is the fact that rebuilding cars has a learning curve. Cars can come from various places and have different titles. When knowing this, you will be able to choose a car much easier. So, let’s learn.
Car Origin
One of the main factors that should be important to you is the origin of the car you want to buy. Cars come to auto salvage yards from many different places.
These include repossessions, insurance companies, rental companies, auto dealers, donations, theft recovery, and more.
Every origin is important to know because, for example, a theft recovery vehicle or a rental car often are not the best deals.
Type Of Title
The type of title is also important when you look to buy auction California cars. This is the legal document that tells the rightful owner of a certain vehicle. But there can be various types of titles. These three that we will cover are the most common ones.
Clean Title: A clean title car is something that everyone wants. Clean title vehicles are the least common to find in salvage yards but they definitely carry the biggest value. These cars have a clean history.
Salvage Title: Cars with salvage titles are the most common in salvage yards. These are cars that have mechanical damage or accident damage. Once they are repaired, they will get a rebuilt title.
Junk Title: A junk vehicle has a junk title. These are often flooded or burnt cars that cannot be repaired and are only good for parts.
It is very easy to find cars for sale using AutoBidMaster. We as a licensed dealer have many auction locations. Join us and participate in our online auctions!
What Are The Pros & Cons of Buying A Salvage Car?
Buying a car from a salvage auction has its pros and cons. So, before bidding, you need to be aware of the positives and negatives. Let’s discuss them.
Pros
Great Project Cars
If you want to get a project car, salvage cars are some of the best options out there. You can get them for cheap, repair them and sell them once you want to move to something else.
Method for Learning
Salvage cars are often a very good way to practice mechanics. If you want to work for a shop, you need to learn how everything works on a car. There is no way better than doing this in your garage on a salvage car.
Solid Profits
If you know how to pick good cars, you can make profits. These profits will not be in the thousands but with a few cars a month, you can make a living out of it.
Cons
Suspicious History
Salvage cars tend to come from different places and their history in many cases can be blurry. So, you need to be able to recognize problems rather than rely on CarFax reports. Knowing how to tell a good car from a bad one is the best skill in this field.
Poor Resale Value
Vehicles with salvage titles tend to have a much lower resale value compared to vehicles with clean title. You cannot sell these cars for a premium like clean title vehicles.
High Repair Costs
Salvage title cars can have hidden damage that will result in high repair costs. So, we recommend that you inspect the car in person in order for you not to purchase something that you don’t want.
