Quote: Let me ask you guys...Those that actually look at all the pics I'm taking of these cars...Am I doing a good enough job of showing you the product so you know what to expect?
You're pics are probably the best I've seen for truly showing the condition of the car, good or bad. Most dealers try to hide the flaws.

- Not many out there I don't see any in an '02-'03 in the auctions, but:

'04 with 100k





There were others, but few were 04's and the rest were newer.

My family used to have an '04 Grand Cherokee Limited that was pretty much completely loaded. Had the awesome H.O. V8

I didn't have time today to take more pics, but I took some just now to give you an idea. Also, i'm 99% sure that this car is sold, I'll know in an hour. I took it in on Tuesday, detailed it and got it back this morning, and it's already sold. I wish all my cars go this fast...

Sooo I went back to the auction yesterday.... Few pics:






And this is what I came home with: 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Limited with Nav & DVD



The weather was pretty gloomy, but I went there to sell a car I had for a little too long:


It got close to what I wanted to get for it but I turned it down. I blame the weather for the crappy turnout and low numbers.

Anyway, let's bring this thread back to life!

And the Black Z06 at the auction didn't sell. It didn't get the money the seller was asking..

How often are motorcycles sold at the auction? I'm looking for a 08+ Suzuki GSXR 600 and know of a dealership in Richmond that sells bikes that they buy from auctions.

Not so often, but they do occasionally have auctions dedicated to bikes once in a while.

Aside from that, I am signed up with another auction that sells only powersports (www.npauctions.com), I have an outside rep that does the powersports purchases on behalf of my company through the Cincinnati auction location. I buy about 15-20 bikes from a local Harley Davidson store that gets trade-in's that they have no interest in (all are Japan branded cruisers or crotch rockets that we end up buying from them).

I can see if something like what you're looking for is available if you'd like...

Let me know.

This is at this week's upcoming auction. All 2007's.

There's another one it Atlanta, but also shows 13 of them, all 2007's.

There's 2 more auctions from them, one in San Diego and one in Dallas, but no inventory has been loaded into the system just yet (auction is a few weeks away)

How long do you keep a car in stock til you consider getting rid of it at auction? Reason I'm asking is cuz I'm looking at a car and they've had for sale since 4/7. Is that considered a long time?

Every dealer is different. Most dealers that carry a heavy amount of inventory (By heavy I mean 100+ cars) usually like to turn their inventory every 60 days. But there really is no set time. It's at the discretion of each dealer. I've had cars sit here for a week, I've had cars sit here for months..

I drove a XKR a few months back and I loved it. I'm curious to see what the new one looks like considering the new XF and XJ are gorgeous.

Aside from the few small blemishes I show in the pics, the car is in outstanding shape...

I'm thinkin' about taking her home tonight, I left my Mini home today, and either take this or the hoopdie (2000 Astro) home...
