We're a true one-stop-shop for your automotive needs. We're here for you when you need to sell your car, apply for financing to purchase one, and service your vehicle. At each step of the process, we'll treat your time with respect to keep you coming back whenever you need an automobile or a repair.
Our diverse line-up of vehicles also allows you to choose a wholesale used car, otherwise known as a fixer-upper car. These vehicles are sold as-is and are treated somewhat differently from our typical selection.
If you're looking for a great value on a used car, check out our selection below. Once you find one that's ideal for you, make sure to click "Secure Today's Price" or stop by our campus.
Tips On Buying A Fixer-Upper Vehicle
Fixer-upper cars aren't the same as certified pre-owned vehicles. These vehicles may require repairs or maintenance to get them running at peak condition. However, for those with some automobile know-how, these cars, trucks, and SUVs are also a real opportunity to purchase a vehicle at a tremendous value.
Brush Up On Your Mechanic Skills
If you're a trained or amateur mechanic, a fixer-upper vehicle could be a great option for your needs. While these vehicles don't undergo the same inspection as our other user cars, they still come with a Carfax history report. This can give you some key insights into the car's biographical details, including its accident history, title history, and service history.
With this information, you should be able to understand any potential concerns with the car and whether your current skillset is capable of fixing any issues. Understanding that time is money, the car's history report can let you know the true value of purchasing the vehicle.
Bring a Trusted Mechanic With You
We also understand that not everyone is an amateur mechanic. We want you to know what you're purchasing, so we do allow you to bring a trusted mechanic with you to inspect the vehicle on our lot. You can also take the car to a mechanic for a full inspection before purchase. Your mechanic can let you know if anything needs repairs, replacement, or just some love and care.
By bringing a mechanic, they should be able to quote you a price on any needed repairs, too. Again, this gives you a fuller picture of how much money you'll spend on the car and help you understand how much value it represents.
Ideal Starter Cars for Teens
Parents can find an opportunity to bond with their teens and impart some practical knowledge and wisdom by making their child's first car a fixer-upper. Not only will you be able to purchase a vehicle for less than even our used car prices, but you'll help your teen understand the importance of learning basic maintenance skills. It also gives you both a reason to spend time together, a gift that's impossible to put a price on.
