1The Definitive Guide to Buying Wrecked Cars for
Sale
2- Wrecked car auctions feature salvage vehicles
that have sustained damages or have been
repossessed by law enforcement authorities.
However, you can also find many salvage cars for
sale with minimal damage. Investing in these
vehicles can be a prudent decision, given the
fact that many such cars have minimal damages and
are available at unbelievably low prices. Making
the right picks, however, can be a tricky affair.
Thats why we have put together this brief guide
to help you find wrecked used cars for sale that
deserve your investment. Read on.
3Find out the story behind the salvage title
- Before taking the plunge and digging into your
pocket to buy a salvage car, it is important to
find out how the vehicle was damaged and the
repair jobs (if any) carried out by the last
owner. Youll get the answer to this and other
questions concerning a vehicles history through
its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The
number appears on multiple places such as the
driver-side doorpost, the rear wheel well, and
front of the engine block. Once you have this
number, visit websites that offer free vehicle
history reports to get all the information you
need.
4Ensure no parts are missing
- We strongly recommend inspecting the vehicle
before you take a final decision. AutoBidMaster
allows registered members to visit auction yards
with a guest. You can use this service by paying
a nominal fee. Ask your mechanic to accompany you
and request them to inspect the vehicle to know
which (if any) parts are missing and their
estimated market price.
5Bought the car What next?
- Ok, so you just bought the car and everything
went fine, however, there are some other things
that you need to do to make the car roadworthy. - Dry the car to avoid further damage to the engine
and electrical components - Replace the old lubricants, gas, and other fluids
(like brake oil) with new ones. Additionally,
prolonged exposure to moisture can impact the
functionality of gaskets and filters, therefore,
you need to replace them too - Replace paddings and insulations that do not
release moisture to avoid chances of mold and
mildew formation - Clean the brake parts and replace bearings
especially if it's a rear-drive vehicle - After performing all the above activities ask a
certified mechanic to inspect different car
parts, especially the electric components.
6Signing off
- The blog discussed some steps you should be
taking before and after buying a salvage vehicle.
Additionally, be very cautious while choosing
your provider and prefer shopping with an
experienced auctioneer. You can easily find a
number of websites that stock and sell different
wrecked cars for sales, including SUVs, sedans
and classics. We believe in transparent dealing
and upload vehicle pictures from different angles
and mention the type of damage in unambiguous
words to help you arrive at prudent decisions.
