steelership 😂 so true

Just to clarify a bit for people... when purchasing via simulcast (online bidding) you are giving a certain amount of days to arbitrate the vehicle (contest with any claims) if you pay the auction to transport your vehicle and it arrives after the allowed timeframe, many auctions offer an additional 2 day allowance. If you arrange your own transportation though (sometimes cheaper) and it doesn't arrive before the allowed arbitration period, then too bad it's your vehicle. Manheim is known for their poor condition reporting. @chevydude is lucky they gave him anything at all as the terms state and agreed when bidding. @chevydude just a heads up, be careful biting the hand that feeds you. Calling them out now could kill your business later if they lock you out of thier nationwide auctions.

@@fuzzyduck3316 In your view, is it really even worth it for a customer to try to work with a dealer to go through the process of buying from the Manheim auction? I am on the verge of buying a new vehicle this week. I started working with a dealer to purchase through the auction, but I was honestly not impressed with the deals he offered. They were not bad, but really just competitive with the market overall. For one of the vehicles, Carvana (of all people) actually beat the price he quoted, though his price would have included the warranty. Ultimately, the guy threw a fit and returned my deposit, saying that he had found the best deals that could be found, and that he was not going to allow me to waste his time endlessly. Mind you, we had just met the day before, and he had only sent me up a few possibilities. Now I have a referral for another dealer who can buy for me through the auction. I'm going to let him know what I am looking for and my budget to see if anything is available that looks like a great deal, but my concern is the possibility of having the vehicle arrive days or weeks later, only to have to arbitrate the vehicle back to the auction, thus prolonging the process. My car is dead in my driveway, and I'm not putting another cent in it, so I am not interested in more weeks without a car.

That car wasnt flooded , the trunk is a common problem on malibu's with the liner leaking. The doors are most likely bad drains that are clogged up. This was some old ladies car that let it sit in the yard forever with water in the doors.

Junk cars have always been sold at auctions. When I was 16, I gave my parents money that I had worked and saved up for to get a car. They went to the auction and picked me out a 1988 Honda Accord with the flap lights. I was so happy to get my car but what they didn’t want to tell me to spare my feelings…was the transmission was BLOWN!! See they had no way of knowing because the auction didn’t allow you to test drive the car. You could only crank it up, and do a visual inspection. I remember crying for the whole 8 months it took me to save up the money to buy a transmission for the car. We all learned a valuable lesson that day…never buy a car from auction again!!

Hey Mike, I would highly recommend you look into consignment vehicles. That way, you can inspect the vehicle with the car owner, agree on what the value of the vehicle would be when sold by your dealership and what your % fees would be. Would save you a lot of headaches in this market. You need to do things differently than any other dealership around you. Make yourself unique. At least till car values level off. As we all know, it is currently a sellers market. No one should be selling their vehicles to dealers or auctions at the moment as they are all easy sales on autotrader, Craigslist, etc. Going to have to wait about eight months before repossessions start getting heavy. The problem then will be finding buyers in a downturned market. Tough times for small fish in shark infested waters. Good luck

Hook up with Flying Wheels go to local dealer auctions and inspect before you buy

Worked at a dealership. Car was bought at auction and I drove it to the dealership. As I get a block away it starts knocking. Get it to the dealership and they diagnosed with a broken crank (although I thought it was the pulley). Definitely some wobble that you could see. Auction took it back due to my manager paying for the extra insurance. Week later that car is up for auction. My manager thought it was fixed since nothing was said. He puts a few bids, someone who worked there tapped on his shoulder and told him the issue wasn't fixed. So shady.

Low mileage cars like that always worry me. It has to sit somewhere way too long and why is it not being used. Where did it come from? I'd also like to see the date code on the tires and have the car on a lift. Looks like the roof antenna is a different color too which is a little odd.

Look for other Malibus of the same year and see if the antenna is black or body colored.

I have a FJ Cruiser 2014 with 13K bought it new loaded with all the extras from Toyota it’s black with the white roof. Ugliest damn thing but my wife loved them? She barely drives it would have 5-6K miles if I didn’t let my son use it for about 8 months. But it’s in excellent condition I just had to change the tires because there dry rotted, wiper blades, battery because I have to jump it off. Like you said I would ask questions & I would be able to explain but from a auction something is off here with this car otherwise the dealer would have just kept it on there lot JMO. Prior to the whole car market going crazy I always found it weird that there is a huge demand for a FJ & I could sell it for about 1-2K more then what I bought for new then. I was just offered 42.5K by the dealer last week & it’s a stock FJ. So needless to say I am going to see if I can squeeze more out of it & sell it. We have a extra vehicle & I’ll just wait until it all comes timbering down to scoop something else up for her. These new generations have no Patients they all want it now. Sorry for my comment turning into a novel.

Don’t buy cars sight up seen from auctions. As for the car sounds like it’s been flooded out with all the codes.

Thank you for sharing this, Mike. I would not be surprised by the fact that anything could happen but the car got 4.2 on the condition report saying that it's clean with that condition. Out of 100 ? It looks like that it would be hard to do car auctions online. Keep up the great work!

Manheim CR ratings go up to 5.0. A 4.0 vehicle should be able to be retail ready within a day, tops. Definitely no need for maintenance. Light cosmetic recon only.

So he's stuck in a hole and should continue to dig? That's what you want? The auction he got it from lied about the condition of the vehicle. He's taking it to a different auction, hopefully that auction will be more honest about it. But no one is going to buy that from him as a retail piece with everything wrong with it. And repairing everything would costs thousands that he doesn't have and can never recover in selling the vehicle. There's just no awesome, wonderful option here.

Thanks Manheim. You really are looking out for small businesses. Sarcasm

Hi, for your information Atlanta is the Headquarters of Manheim Auto Auctions 🚘

Do PSI for $110 if it's Manheim/Cox Automotive. As far as a CarFax - if you see an entry that listed Auction sold a couple weeks earlier, run like hell. It's an Auction rerun. But best, is preview the car at auction and bring a OBD-II reader. I've talked to Manheim staff that performs the inspection/rating. These are minimum wage employees with very minimal training.

just an fyi if the fuel light is on and the buying dear complains they will put gas in it charge you a premium for the gas and charge you a service charge.

I have a tailgate issue like that where it's rusting near the seam and dripping down onto the body from water runoff. It looks like a typical Michigan car.

Sucks but I know the lessons are stacking up. You will persevere. Hope you keep the channel once the dealership gets rolling well

I buy alot of vehicles from a buy here pay here dealer. I'm good friends with the manager, i have a good reputation as a returning customer. The manager has even admitted he buys auction cars without inspecting them. When they arrive on his lot and they have issues, at that point he already lost money. Always look at the car yourself. Never buy a vehicle without inspecting it, that's how you lose customers. We all make mistakes

You should go to Manheim before they have their auction. Look at the inventory online, make a list of the vehicles you are interested in, go to Manheim inspect those vehicles you are interested in buying, even test drive them if they are open and have a key. Then when auction hits you know what you are bidding on and you don’t have any surprises. That’s what I used to do when I had my car dealership.

Hmmmm.... maybe you shouldn't buy a pig in a poke. A personal inspection would minimize the risk.

Dang chevy dude. That's just goes to show you its hard trusting people when it comes to buying cars. Their all sweet and nice at the beginning of the sale, but once the sale happens they totally flip and change into another person when they've done you wrong. Inwent through a similar incident. Won't buy another car site unseen ever again.

It wasn't a car salesman that screwed you. The appraisers that many auctions hire just plain suck. They don't pay squat and turnover is constant. And to make matters worse, dealers drop off their cars at the last minute and still expect condition reports to be done on a timely basis before the auction. It's all they can do to find people with drivers' licenses and show up to work every day. Many are not good at their jobs. This is a good experience for you because it's obvious that you don't know much of anything about the used side of the business. You're a green pea again, and the learning curve is steep. What you went through is a very common occurrence. There were three red flags here. One, about the only way a clean low mile 8 year old vehicle is going to be at the auction is if there's a problem with it or it's a repo. And there's no such thing as a 4.2 repo. Two, you would need a Carfax account to know this, but if you look at the vehicle's history, it was sold at auction in October to a used car dealer in SC and back at the auction in December when you bought it. If it's a rental rocket that's a year or two old, that wouldn't be surprising. But on a 9 year old low mileage car, a definite red flag. I believe an Autocheck report would show the auction entry as well. And that brings me to number three which shows that Meridian is the seller listed on your CR. Yes, they sell arb cars as well, but they also sell repos. Point being, if you're going to buy online, you need to be a sleuth and assume everyone is trying to screw you. You have to know who the sellers are, even if you have to Google them. You have to know which auctions are better at CRs and will stand behind them and which ones don't. Well, that or buy Manheim's deal shield product that will offer some protection against their screw-ups. You might try someone like ACV which has better condition reports along with video, but I would without a doubt recommend attending a couple of physical auctions a week to learn and understand what really goes on at one. Find some peers to befriend and lean on them a bit to help you out to help avoid these kinds of surprises. If it makes you feel any better, the industry has been working on the online auction model for 20 years and it still sucks. No one said an education was cheap. Welcome to the used car business. At least you got it sold.

The fact that so many nut/bolts and the strut towers were rusty on top shows that there was some water issues with that car. Not to mention that much standing water in the trunk. Yikes.

Why arent cars from 2010 on wards 100% rust proof, coated, and sealed, and protected so nothing at all will rust. This isnt 1955 , we have technology to make everything rust proof coated.

This is the used car business, it's alot different than the new car store. It's probably a northern car, not a south Carolina car.

I’ve bought hundreds and hundreds of cars from Manheim based on their Condition Reports and Arbitrated after the time expired and never had a problem when I got my Auction Rep involved.

Mike only buy vehicles on Manheim that offer free Deal Shield. Also ask your rep your cost to be covered by Deal Shield on all your purchases. Its a no brainer. The condition reports are a joke these days. On Manheim express vehicles the seller actully does their own condition reports. Its a joke.

I'd buy it and use it as my daily drive.

welcome to being a small used car dealer. Iv been doing this for 10 years and I can tell you they will let the big guys F the little guys. Then if you do the same stuff to the big guys they will not let it happen.

For working in the industry a long time, u don’t much about used cars and auctions. Sounds like u were a new car salesman at Chevy. Welcome to the real world of being a used car dealership.

Never buy a car without looking at it in person, especially at the auction.

Why not just buy vehicles off private parties? There’s literally thousands of cars on Facebook new and old for much cheaper than dealer prices. Auctions vehicles are normally there for a reason and a lot of the times junk or have hidden problems.
