Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I buy a car from you?
- it would be the smart thing to do...
- we probably have the car you want for the price you can afford...
- the rebuilding process and safety are monitored weekly by DMV License and Theft Bureau...
Why do you sell mostly rebuilt cars?
As a dealer we choose what cars to sell...
Cars with clean title sell for 95% -105% of Book...
That makes them hard to sell because buyers always search for deals...
It is much easier to sell and resell a rebuild car !!!
If the repair was estimated at $7000 (for instance) - that would "trigger" the salvage title process.
If the repair was estimated at $6000 - the insurance company would fix the car at shops like ours - you would pay full price for a "clean title" car that was also repaired after an accident... :)
So - buying a clean title car does not guarantee lack of accident... This would only guarantee that you are paying too much...
Will my rebuilt car hold value ?
Yes - better than clean-title cars:
In many cases our customers keep their cars for many years.
Generally - you buy at 65% and years later sell at 70% because:
1. People trust other people more...
2. The accident becomes a "distant history"...
3. Car was successfully driven for "X" miles...
Can I get financing ?
- ask your friends or family for a loan
- get unsecured personal loan from your financial institution
"Buy Here - Pay Here" dealers finance you for over 30% interest rate.
These places are NOT helping you... They are screwing you... !!!
Your better options to finance our cars are:
- Personal Loan from your Bank
- Personal Loan from your friends or relatives
- Cash
- Pentagon Federal Credit Union (they finance 50% of book value)
- Navy Federal Credit Union (they finance 50% of book value)
- USAA Federal Savings Bank (they finance 50% of book value)
- Digital Federal Credit Union (they finance 80% of book value)
(becoming a member is easy - even if you are not military...)
We'll provide you with a Buyer's Order / Purchase Agreement.
How can you sell cars at such a low price?
- We are not greedy...
- We have low overhead...
- We are efficient...
- We specialize in the same cars
- We often buy cars for parts
- We don't charge ANY paperwork fees...
Can you show me the CARFAX ?
Carfax charges $40 for 1, $60 for 3 and $100 for 6 reports...
And you still think they are "helping" you ?!
They spend tons of money in advertising the "importance" of the clean title, which does NOT guarantee lack of previous accidents nor
the current body and mechanical condition of the vehicle...
However - if you insist insist on running Carfax reports - you can purchase them on Ebay for about $5 each...
Why don't you sell certain brands or models?
Mercedes, BMW, Porsche & VW Touareg are over-engineered...
Other cars are just not worth the money or the reliability...
Can you find us the car we want ?
Choosing something we already have is easier and cheaper...
Or - be ready to give us $1000 deposit for us to start looking and in such cases you should be willing to pay 75% of Book...
Is your rebuilt car safe for my teenager to drive?
Yes: We test-drive each car for at least a week...
Our neighbors, parents, siblings and friends drive cars rebuilt by us...
Our cars get inspected more than the "pre-owned certified" cars that franchise dealers sell...
I can buy a damaged car and fix it myself, right?
Wrong :
- You don't have an "eye" to pick the right accident.
- You don't have our experience and facility.
- The car you repair WILL end up costing you MORE than 80% even
if you don't pay yourself a dime... Then you would be too embarrassed
to admit to others the true cost of your car...
Why aren't you calling me back?
We do not harass potential customers.
You can always call us back or show up during business hours...
We stay busy being productive and efficient...
As a result - we have low prices instead of intimidating salesmen...
Do you offer warranty ?
We offer full warranty for ALL of our cars: $200 for the first month and $100 per month thereafter... for as long as you wish...
What is your "best" price?
Our "best price" for any of our cars is $100,000...
If that's too much - make us an offer that will not make us laugh...
See - if you want $5000 off - we could always raise the price with $5000 and then - reduce it "just for you" like other dealers do...
The reality is - we have ALREADY priced our inventory at rock bottom and there is not much you can go down after hitting the rock...
Is my $200 deposit refundable ?
Deposit is made "as a commitment", therefore it is non-refundable...
However - you can transfer the deposit to a different car on our web site...
How can I convince my wife to buy a car from you?
Let's assume your wife found a $15,000 car...
Tell her the same car would cost $9,750 from us and you will save $5,250...
And if she still wants to spend $15,000 on a new car - explain to her for that price you can buy a $23,000 car from SouthEndAuto.net
If your wife still insists on buying from an overpriced dealer - it may be time to find yourself another wife... !!!
