Auto Auctions - Wholesale

AutoCheck gets data from auto auctions -- companies that act as vehicle clearinghouses and help you get the vehicle you want by providing retail dealers with cars and trucks that sell best at their store. A vehicle that has been through one or more auctions simply is being moved from one market to another, and does not reflect the overall condition of the vehicle.

Calculated Accidents
Experian receives reported accident/damage information from a number of sources. Sometimes more than one source reports the same incident, which may have different event dates, case numbers or event locations. Other events do not have a date reported and could have happened at any point in the vehicle's history. AutoCheck calculates the number of accidents or damage events, so a report might show two or more reported accident or damage records for the same event. Not all accidents or damage events are reported to AutoCheck. It is recommended to have pre-owned vehicles inspected by a third party prior to purchase.

A Smart Guide for SUV Buyers

---

Though old-school SUVs appear to be outdated, they are undeniably the first choice for consumers who are looking for bigger interior and cargo capacity, or in other words, a car that would have the dual function of a car like experience, but the utility of a truck. Though the supersized SUVs are gradually phasing out, there is an upsurge in ‘car-based SUVs’ in the market. SUVs are categorized by their price range.

Under $25,000

---

Even if you are planning to purchase a basic SUV, you can for sure expect add-ons along with your purchase. The ‘Honda CR-V’, ‘Toyota RAV-4’ and the Chevrolet Equinox are few of the cars available, which provide for loads of interior space both for cargo and passengers, excellent driving experience and good money value. The RAV4 in addition has a ‘third row seating’ arrangement and a slightly more powerful engine. The Chevrolet Equinox on the other hand has stylish looks both on the interior as well as exterior, and a smooth engine. All the three are a suitable choice for people with a low estimate.

The next price range in cross-over SUVs varies from $25,000 to $35,000. This price range provides for larger interior space at the same time providing the car-like feel. The Mazda CX-9 is the most popular in this category The Volvo XC60 has a hint of European style and collision avoidance function. The Chevrolet Traverse too is popular in this range, offering an eight seating capacity. The GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave fall on equal platform as the Traverse.

The SUVs available in this range have relatively better interior space and features. The Audi Q5 and Toyota Sequoia are the two most favorite cars in this section. The Q5 is known for its no-nonsense outstanding performance, unobtrusive style and hi-tech electronics inside the cabin.

The Toyota Sequoia too has all features that make a good SUV – loads of interior space, and a high perch. Its fuel efficiency however isn’t that great.
