What is the Auction Access Card
The main benefit of obtaining an Auction Access Card is that you will have access to nationwide inventory right on your cellphone. The Auction ACCESS card is for state DMV licensed vehicle dealers and their buying reps. It’s the key to open up a safe buying environment for the member Auto Dealers. So you can feel secure whether you buy online or go to anyone of more than 200 wholesale auction locations in the U.S. and Canada. You will find that most of your reputable dealerships buy their cars this way. The quality is higher. If you sign up with our program you would be a Dealer Representative (Dealer Rep.) under a DMV licensed Dealer with your own auction access account (and card). You can buy online and go to the live auctions.
To get your Atlanta Georgia Dealer License to sell cars, you can go about it two ways. You can go the traditional route and go thru your local DMV to apply for a Used Car License, or you can get your Auction Access Card. Auction Access is what you are obtaining when you buy into our program. It is not the same as going thru your local state DMV, buy it does give you most of the benefits for less money and a lot quicker. You can buy unlimited vehicles in any given calendar year as a Dealer, not a private citizen. There are some restrictions, but I will cover that later in this article. As a Dealer rep with our program, you get a buying account with Manheim and Adesa Dealer auctions, and also live access to Copart, iAAi auctions as well. This auction access card has your Dealer Rep number on it and that is how you are tied back to Dealer (whose account you are on). So every vehicle you buy at the auction, you are in effect buying as the Licensed Dealer himself (and tax free too).
your customer should feel good about the purchase
Our program provides you a more closed in -secure buy and sell environment, with access limited to licensed, credentialed dealers and their authorized representatives. You will even be able to contact sellers directly and many times get better deals on the vehicles up for auction or buy now.
Another benefit of membership is that you can take your inventory on the go. Where-ever you are , you can do a search and buy a car. You will have access to all of this nationwide inventory right on your cellphone…they have a great app, available for free on your iPhone or Android device, to help you manage your membership and buy vehicles easy and stress free.
Upon completion of the application process to your first auction, you can have your photo taken for your Auction Access ID Card. The actual card is the size of a credit card and can be issued by most auctions throughout the country. Your Auction Access ID card will have your dealership name, contact information, your photograph, and your individual Dealer Rep number. Typically you can get your temporary card same day (permanent one is mailed) This card will allow you access to every dealer only auto auction in the United States and Canada. These auctions will welcome you with open arms because you, as a licensed motor vehicle dealer, are what drives their business. They will contact you to let you know about certain types of upcoming auctions, dealer’s specials, and discount days. They want you at the auction as much as possible, because more dealers, mean higher prices, which means higher auction vehicle charges.
As an Atlanta Georgia Dealer licensed dealer or Dealer Rep,, the dealer auctions are free to attend but you will be required to pay buyers fees for every vehicle you buy, and seller’s fees for every vehicle you sell. Most dealer auctions charge $100 to $200 for most vehicles bought or sold for under $10,000. Your charges can be much higher when you purchase or sell “Highline” vehicles, which run $50,000 or more. Be sure to ask for a cost overview sheet, to find out the exact charges for any vehicles before bidding on your first vehicle.
I believe the most accurate way to find a vehicle’s true wholesale value is by using Kelly Blue Book ..or your local Craigslist website. Car values do fluctuate based on supply, demand and region (area of the country). Craigslist will generally give you a quick a dirty “street value” for your vehicles…so you have a good idea of the actual retail value of the car, before you buy it. And of course you can just use the MMR tool which stands for Manheim Market Report. This is your main tool to use on the Manheim website to determine the value of the car you are considering purchases or bidding on.
You wont have any plates of your own as a Dealer rep, but you can get them from your sponsoring Dealer (for a fee). In short you will be a functioning Used Car Dealer with ability to legally buy and sell unlimited cars per year. NO profit slitting, no commission spitting. You keep all your money. .. The whole idea is you try it out see if you can make money as a used car dealer before you invest in the separate insurance, office, landlot, business license, pre-licensing education course etc.
