5 Ways to Save Money at Government Seized Car Auctions | iSpy-Auctions - Live Search News: AUCTION

  • 1. Check the title of the automobile. If it is a rebuilt, take at
    least 30% off its value.
    2. Do a vehicle history report. Compare the odometer
    reading against your report mileage reading. There is a physical method to do
    so. You can always check the brake pedals to see if the wear and tear is
    excessive. If the condition is very worn out and does not seem to tally with
    what the odometer is showing, then there is a high chance that the car’s
    odometer has been tampered with to show a low mileage.
    3. Deduct the value if
    the car has exceeded the average mileage. There is a standard for the annual
    mileage of vehicles. According to the US Department of Transportation, on annual
    average, a car is driven for 13,500 miles. If the car you are interested in
    bidding has crossed the average, say by 1000 miles, take this figure and
    multiply it by 15 cents per mile exceeded. This is the value you should deduct.
    In this case, it is $150.
