How does Auto Auctions works
Nowadays, there are several types of auto auctions that are functioning well in the US. Some of them are actually an outlet for banks and some government agencies like the IRS who simply has a need to sale the seized and repossessed vehicles. This fits well in the RK Motors working policy because the government, as well as the banks and other financial institutions, have a periodical but constant need of disposing their off lease returns.
On other auctions, there are mostly aging fleet vehicles, rentals and other trade -- ins and unwanted inventory. Also, there are the so called Salvage auctions, which main purpose is selling cars for the insurance companies – their totaled vehicles to be more exact.
And of course, there are the general auctions and the ones for the specific and rare car collectors. These auctions on which the subjects of bidding are classic and antique cars are pretty much different than local general auto auctions. There are two types of auctions, the ones from a closed format which are mainly for specified dealers and the open auctions that are attended for the general public. So if you are planning to sell your vehicle, give it a good deal of consideration and make the right decision where will you put your vehicle on sales.
