Depending
on the situation, we use a combination of the following:
We
consult dealer-only, subscription-based auction databases.
- We
consult with our full-time auction buyer who spends the majority of
his time at auctions buying and selling used vehicles. His presence
there allows him to monitor short-term fluctuations in vehicle values
(when gas prices spiked, for example, large SUVs took an immediate hit
in value).
We
consult the bidding at internet auctions where we can buy vehicles similar
to yours.
We call other dealers and wholesalers who specialize in certain vehicles
and therefore will pay top dollar.
