Used Car purchasing!
Why not make it profitable - rather than an expense and a burden?


Car ownership is sometimes frustrating and mostly a very expensive activity, with a new car and high interest rates / bank fees which almost commits us for a lifetime in debt. Luckily we have an abundant used car market, there’s everything to choose from, $200 wrecks – or up to a $50,000 or even $100,000 luxury car.

But even used cars are expensive, partly because we tend to stretch our budget when it comes to car purchasing. We are all too familiar with the old statement “you get what you pay for”, and with that ringing in our ears we believe in spending a little bit more and get a more reliable car. Doesn’t always work that way with cars though.

Next question will be to choose where to find your family’s next used car, we have legit major dealers, and we have the smaller once, the so-called backyard dealers. And from there you go to private-sales-used-car-section in your local newspaper, or these days there are many private sales sites online.

But are we forgetting an important alternative?
The used car auction industry, a huge variety of used cars in all different price brackets.

You have “Government fleets vehicles”, and “Rental company vehicles”, and then you have Insurers companies repossessions, Police and Local Government abandoned and in other ways confiscated vehicles.

You’ll find a lot of vehicles here in excellent condition, and often well documented in regards to service history etcetera. Low kilometres on the clock or higher k’s, you choose and pay accordingly.

And lastly on the auction review, we have to mention the insurance companies “written off vehicle sales” - might sound bad and scary – and in Australia the Governments make a great effort and thousands of tax-payer-money advertising the danger of “WOVR” vehicles. But trust me, this can be a gold mine, not only huge savings on an extra family car – but you might find yourself a small profitable side business - More about that later.


Buying used car from a dealership might be way too expensive, after all, are you paying for the car, or maybe the caryards expensive real estate, paying for a huge staff and big showrooms - and after all that - the dealership have to generate profits every day and every week.
