weyreypey:
Hehehe Audi ownership is not a baby job.

Add BMW to that.

valarinz:
Rubbish list.

All I see here are a list of cars you hope Nigerians rush to your site to purchase

To start, what car do you drive and how many miles do you have on it?

radautoworks:
200,000 miles is easy in almost any car. Nigerians just don't maintain cars. 500k now you're talking discerning a good car from a bad one

Couldn't have said it any better. It all boils down to road conditions and use. But 500k? very few cars can do that and still remain in one piece. Plus if you've got mechanics from hell, best of luck.

diportivo:
honda accord to 200k miles without changing trans?


maybe the i4


V6 tho,

Hondas are quite the rugged cars and like someone said below, manual hondas are a gem. How long it lasts depends on road conditions, driver handling etc. But for a normal regular use not beyond what the car can handle, honda will serve

200,000 miles! Wow. That is a lot, right? Especially if you purchase your vehicle when it has low miles on it. To think there are cars that top out over that long is mind-blowing, but it does happen.

In fact, any vehicle can last for 200,000 miles, especially if you are willing to bare the expense that comes along with it. However, some vehicles are just able to go 200,000 miles and further WITHOUT the need to spend thousands of dollars to do so.

If you want a reliable car that will allow you to travel everywhere you want to go, check out these 6 cars that can help you achieve that.

1. Honda Accord
The Honda Accord boasts an excellent engine and transmission that allows you to ride comfortably down the road. Honda is a well-known brand and many consumers consider it one of the most reliable too. With that said, a Honda Accord can easily rake in 200,000 miles or more without any significant mechanical issues under the hood. No matter the year of the used Honda Accord you are eyeing, you will be in good hands.

2. Toyota Sienna
There is a reason you see Toyota Sienna vans all over the road these days and that is because they are a top contender when it comes to reliable family vans. While the Toyota Sienna is not one of the most updated vans when it comes to interior and features, it drives excellent, is quiet, and can easily top over 200,000 miles without thousands of dollars in repairs being needed.

3. Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is a well-known make and model and has been a consumer favorite for many years. Each Camry is constructed with the consumer in mind and provides not only a roomy cabin but a fantastic fuel economy too. It comes as no surprise that the Camry can easily put 200,000 miles on it without the replacement of a transmission or engine in the process. With many newer versions of the Camry boasting excellent features, consumers continue to rate this as one of the top choices for sedans.

4. Ford F-150
When you think work truck or reliable truck, a Ford F-150 likely comes to mind. This is because the F-150 has built a name for itself and the brand sports the phrase, “Built Ford Tough,” which has never rung truer. This truck can take you EXACTLY where you want to go and the toughened V6 and V8 engines will easily provide you with 200,000 or more miles to enjoy.

5. Honda Civic
The Honda Civic continues to top lists of the most popular cars on the market and since Honda is known for its reliability and durability, it is no surprise that this little sporty vehicle can go 200,000 miles or more without any mechanical issues that sideline it.

6. Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius took the automotive world by storm by offering some of the best fuel economy to consumers. The car was manufactured with technology and simplicity in mind. Each Prius can drive on the road using only electricity up to about 25 miles per hour, which helps reduce the cost of ownership too. This little car is roomy and fits right into the 200,000-mile club.

You’re drawn in by an ad on Facebook or Google. It’s an ad for a used car being sold in US online car auctions. Even better, it seems the price is just spot on and might even help you save some extra. You start longing for the car especially if you were looking to purchase a car at the time. It all seems good and perfect. However, before you start the purchase process there are some key questions to ask yourself. Getting value for your money is critical when buying a used car from US auctions.

Below are some questions you should definitely ask yourself before buying a used car from US auctions:

What Kind Of Car Do You Want? Used or New?
A brand new car is easy to buy if you can afford it; you’ll be buying directly from the assembly line usually through a primary dealer. Considering it is new, there’s really no need for deep thoughts about the condition of the car. If at worst there are defects, you’re still covered under the auto warranty. In cases of extreme issues, the car may be replace outrightly with another brand new one.

With a used car, however, it is a different story. Used cars are rarely covered by warranties. It’s also hard to accurately verify the maintenance history of the car. You need to know if it was in an accident. Or even if it has been left dormant for a while.

Yes, you definitely will be saving money. And Yes there are many used cars in good condition aside from the normal wear and tear. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, used cars are your best bet. Just remember that used cars sold in US auctions such as Auto Auction Mall are sold on a “Where is as Is” [/b]basis.

[b]Do You Have a Budget For The Car?
There are quite a lot of reasons why you could either buy a new or used car. The deciding factor becomes your budget. Do you have enough money to cover for a brand new car and the shipping cost? Or is the total amount for a brand new car perfect for a used car and its auction fees?

With telephone assistance, our Nigerian rep can help you estimate costs so you have a clear view of what the total cost may be plus minus a few hundred dollars.

Used car auctions allow you to purchase your dream cars for less than 30% of the price of a new one. Yes, it might come with some damages, but with proper maintenance, the car will serve you for years.

Can You Inspect The Car, Take It for a Test Drive? Or Are You Fine With The Information Provided?
Test driving cars sold in online auctions is not possible but you can hire independent third-party auto inspectors to visit the auction lot and inspect a particular car on your behalf. For less than $120, you can get a 150 point inspection report before making your purchase decision.

In cases where you are trying to save, most auction houses provide as much information as possible about the listed cars. Go through this information thoroughly and with an extra $20 – $30, you can do a VIN check to ascertain the history of the car.

on www.autoauctionmall.com, the VIN is publicly listed to help with your backchecks and inquiries so you can take advantage of that.

How Much Damage Has The Car Incurred, Can You Fix It?
How a vehicle was damaged could contribute meaningful suggestions on how it could be fixed. So if you’re buying a used car, you need to know if the vehicle has incurred some damage and if you can afford the cost of fixing it. Knowing the answer to both questions will help you decide if you want the car or not.

Does My Desired Car Suit My Environment?
The pot-holes on Nigerian roads, flooded areas, rocky terrains, and other adverse road conditions must be considered before making a choice of car. You need to know if buying a particular type of car would give you comfort or bore a hole in your income due to significant maintenance costs.

If you buy a car that lacks the mechanical capacity to handle the poor roads, you’ll be spending more money on repairs. On the other hand, if you buy a car that suits the terrain, then you’ll be riding in comfort.

Whatever your decision is in the end, we hope you put into due consideration your budget, your desired car, environment, and the state of the car. Feel free to consult our Nigerian representative via www.autoauctionmall.com for more information.

DelTel:
The pic ain't auto transmission

It is. The pouch/pad you see around the gear stick is not peculiar to manual transmission though it is more common with them. A VIN check can confirm this too if you still doubt, Thanks.

emmaeko1989:
Are you on WhatsApp?.What are the charges?

Auction charges generally depend on the final price of the car 9determined usually at the live auctions but some fixed charges include Auto Auction Mall flat fee of $299 on every successful car purchase, $85 documentation fee and $59 bank fee. These are minus the cost of shipping.

We will always give you estimates before you commit to a purchase so no worries of going over budget.
Thanks

A car title is a document that is issued to a car owner. It contains the vehicle identification number, the description of the car, the mileage, and the condition of the car. The vehicle title is the document that states if they are clean used cars or salvage cars.

A vehicle is given the salvage title when it has sustained some severe or minor damage. Or when the insurance company which paid claim to it, considers it a total loss. On the other hand, a clean used title car is the term for describing a vehicle with a higher value than the salvage car. Also, has almost no visible damage, still has a warranty and can be insured.

For more clarity, below is a table that distinguishes between the clean used title cars and the salvaged title car.

Salvage Title Cars
Salvage title vehicles have usually incurred some damage from a serious accident, a minor scratch, or from poor maintenance and negligence.
They are also deemed a total loss by their previous insurance companies.
In some cases, has to undergo thorough car inspection and repairs.
Salvage title cars are mostly purchased by car dealers, repair shops or hobbyists.
Salvage title cars are cheaper and help to save cost.

Used Clean Title Cars
Used clean title cars have minimal or no damage at all.
Insurance companies still insure vehicles with used clean title.
Still requires inspection, but might not undergo any repairs.
Usually purchased by private buyers.
Used clean title cars are considerably costlier than salvage title cars, but not nearly as expensive as brand new cars.


As the saying goes, “different strokes for different folks”. Different people have varying reasons why they prefer either salvage or clean title cars. The major buyers of salvage title cars are dealers who make a profit from buying really cheap cars, for sale; while the major buyers for the used clean titles are individual private buyers who don’t want to go through repairs before driving their cars.

Benefits of Salvage Title Cars
Based on the above premise, here are some benefits of buying a salvage title car:
Some of the salvage title cars actually come in good condition.
The price is always right, whether, with cosmetic or severe damage, salvage title cars always save cost.
As a dealer, salvage title cars are one of the best ways to make a good profit.
Being a spare part collector or hobbyist also has its benefit, as you could make twice the amount spent buying the car from selling the spare parts from the car

Benefits of a Used Clean Title Car
Used cars are very cheap compared to buying a brand new car.
Used cars sometimes still have a warranty, which means that the manufacturer could still be held responsible for certain repairs.
Insurance cost would also cost less compared to a brand new car.
Used Cars or Salvage Cars?
Buying either used clean title cars or salvage title cars are both beneficial in their own rights. It all boils down to why you want to buy the car, if for profit or personal use. Also, factors like the availability of cheap and skilled labour or spare parts may also influence your choice.

Whatever your decision is, remember that at www.autoauctionmall.com we have both options available. Talk to our Nigerian rep today. Check profile for contact information

Nigerian used car market is supplied mostly with imported vehicles, 90 percent to be more precise. The market, however, has endured a bad spell as the government set out to protect its domestic car industry and introduced levies on used car imports starting June 2015. Some estimates show that Nigeria imports over half a million cars while others show a more conservative figure of 200,000 on a yearly basis.

But you wouldn’t like to purchase a car from your local Nigerian dealer and would rather hit an online auction through a third-party proxy company and get your hands on a cheap US vehicle? This is made possible through companies like Auto Auction Mall that provide you access to any car auction in the United States you’d like.

Now, you’ve already set up your account, found the vehicle and sealed the deal. What remains is to have the car delivered to Nigeria, and you are wondering how long it will take.

There are a couple of ways to ship your car to Nigeria. Ro/Ro shipping requires your car to be able to move under its own power. Container Shipping is a more safer option as the car will be enclosed in a container and shielded from the elements.

Six ports provide Ro/Ro shipping from the United States to Nigeria: Galveston, Texas, Jacksonville, Florida, Savannah, Georgia, Portsmouth, Virginia, Bayonne, New Jersey and Baltimore, Maryland.

You can ship your car in a container from Oakland and Long Beach in California, Houston, Texas, Miami, Florida, Savannah, Georgia and Newark, New Jersey.

The vessels arrive at Tin Can Island, Lagos Nigeria (Ro/Ro) and [b]Apapa, Lagos (Container ships) [/b]with the whole process from completing the payment to the delivery taking around 8 weeks.

Once the vessel arrives, you are required to handle all the import duties and other requirements before picking up the car.

Attending a live auto auction or buying cars from online used car auctions is a delicate and lengthy process. It requires your attention and due diligence. Dealers buy their cars from live auctions because they get the vehicles at really cheap prices. In some cases, they only have to fix minimal damages and in the end, they get to sell these cars and make significant profits.

Private buyers also buy from online car auctions like Auto Auction Mall. With an inventory of over 150,000 cars and access to dealer only and private auctions, they are able to choose from a variety of vehicle, get it a fraction of the retail cost and pocket the dealer's profitss.

The “Buy Now” and “Bid” buttons may make it seem as though you can register and start bidding. While you can with adequate information, you may still need to do due diligence and take advantage of the live telephone assistance offered.

Truth is, if you’re new to car auctions, you need a guide and even if you are familiar with auctions, when you try a new platform, it is always a good idea to understand the company/platform’s terms and conditions so you’ll understand what you’ve signed up for, and avoid irrevocable mistakes that could hinder your participation or cost you money.

Below are five things you need to know before your first live auto auction.

You Must Know understand what an Auction Is
First, you must know the basics. What an auto auction means, the different types of auctions, the terminologies used at auctions, and finally the terms and conditions of the auction company you’re subscribed to. You’ll be shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t know these things.

Research!
Different auto auction houses have different protocols or proceedings that you’d have to follow. You need to know how the company works, the fees you need to pay, the requirement for subscription, if any and if they have what you want. For auto auction mall, visit the learning center for the FAQ’S via www.autoauctionmall.com or call 08025307997 for telephone assistance.

Understand The Payment Procedure & Terms
As there are difference auto auction companies, there are also different payment plans for them. Some would prefer cheque payments, credit card payments, cash payments or any other options. So you need to be sure of the payment plan they employ and pay through it. Do not attempt paying with credit cards when they only receive cash payments. This could delay your purchase or hinder it entirely. At Auto Auction Mall, buying power deposit is via your credit or debit card through our website and payment for your purchase is through bank wire transfer only.


Make Sure Your Budget Covers All Fees
Having a budget for your car expenses is a good idea as it helps you streamline your options and gives you time to raise the money. After researching on the different auction fees applicable, ensure you at the very least get estimates to be sure your budget is large enough to accommodate ALL FEES and affordable enough for you to pay. Default/delay in payment in most cases comes with fines as high as $50 daily or outright forefeiture of your deposits. Auto Auction Mall reps can help you with estimates on shipping and clearing. Our platform fees calculator can help you estimate possible auction fees. There’s just one thing you need to do while making your budget.

Confirm mode of Payment before purchasing and have it setup
As a first time private buyer, it is possible that you don’t have a bank account that permits large withdrawals or international bank transfers. In most cases, you would need a domicillary account to complete payment. Not having this could lead to complications with your payment that may result in fines. To prevent this from happening, please contact your bank, inform them about your intending transactions and take them advice you on the necessary steps that will permit you to make such transactions without any complications or delay.

Here was the response to the review you based your "scam" conclusion on. No need to thank me for helping you put it here.

Car Auctions has over time become a very popular way for individuals to purchase their dream cars and for dealers to maximise profits. Car auctions provide buyers an affordable means to purchase their dream cars without breaking the bank. It has also become a convenient way for insurance houses and used car dealerships to recoup money lost.

So Why Are Cars Auctioned?
There are a variety of reasons why cars end up at auction houses and some of them are;
- Some cars have stayed too long at the dealer’s car lot, so they are auctioned off as an alternative option to recoup investments.

- Some cars have suffered damage from weather conditions or accidents and after paying off the owners, the insurance companies want to recoup monies paid out. Due to the damage history, these cars can only be sold at auctions. The damages could include scratches, dents, or malfunctions as a result of thickened car fluids caused by winter.

- Some cars get to the auction house because they are being traded for a new one. In this case, private car owners exchange their old cars to get another car in return.

- The original owners cannot meet up with their payments, so they’re repossessed and auctioned off by financial institutions to recover their money.

Types of Auctions
Closed or Private Auctions:
These auctions are called private because they are usually for licensed car dealers and not for the public. This is the type of auto auction where some of your local car dealers come to buy the cars they sell.

Public Auction:
These are popular and happen frequently. These auctions are usually organised by major insurance and car auction houses. The idea behind the auction is to sell used cars that may have been repossessed, just used with little or no issues, rebuilt from damage or that insurance companies are trying to recoup money from.

Government Auctions:
These auto auctions are organized by the US custom service or some other government body. These auctions are organized to sell off old or excess automobiles including cars, trucks, bikes and so on that may have impounded or seized. In some cases like police auctions and government agencies, they sell them off to dispose of their old automobiles, when they replace or overhaul the entire fleet of vehicles.

Online Auctions:
This method of auto auction is now very popular as it seems to be one of the most convenient ways to buy a car without the need to be present or even be in the country where the car is located. At online auctions, mostly used cars are put up for sale, and prospective buyers register on their sites to join the auction. They rely on the information granted by the site to choose a car to buy. Online auto auctions have become so popular that there are so many sites now where you can join an auction. Here are some of the top online auto auction sites leading in the industry today. www.autoauctionmall.com , ADESA, Copart, Manheim and IAAI are a few of the leading online auctions today.

Going through multiple auction sites can be a strenuous affair and in the worst case scenario, you might miss out on a deal. But Auto Auction Mall’s partnership with the major auction houses in the U.S has allowed us to build the largest online marketplace where you can access the major dealer only and private auctions from one platform.

PROS and CONS of Online Auto Auction
Ever since the inception of online auto auctions, there’s been some advantages and disadvantages to its use. While you’re thinking of joining the long queue of online bidders, you should know some of the advantages and disadvantages of what you’re about to get yourself into.

Pros
1. Vehicles sold at online auto auctions are very cheap compared to buying from dealers. Anyone with a budget for a car can afford their dream car through online auctions.

2. Yes, It is possible to secure very functional vehicles at online auto auctions.

3. The most exotic brands of cars that should be expensive, are sold at very affordable prices. Any brand at all.

4. If you’re a collector of vintage cars, then you would love online auctions because vintage collectibles are very affordable here.

5. Most of the vehicles sold at auctions usually just have the wear and tear from normal use and in some cases, small scratches and dents except in the case of salvage vehicles that may come with heavy dents and mechanical or electrical damages.

Cons
1. Auction houses provide no guarantees on the vehicles or information provided as cars are sold “where is, as is”

2. All bids and offers are final and binding. This means that if you win a bid or an offer is accepted, you have to complete the purchase or face penalties

Next Steps for Interested Buyers
Now that you know what you’re getting yourself into, you need to know how to get into these auctions.
First, you need to know where to look. Again, it is important to know that most auction cars at public auctions are used vehicles which can only be in near new conditions with some thousand(s) of miles on them. If you want a new vehicle, you’re better off going to a major or sub car dealer.

The second step is to find an online vehicle auction platform that is not pricey, has hands on customer support, telephone assistance, allows you participate in dealer only auctions and has a variety of vehicle options to choose from. You can visit www.autoauctionmall.com, register and go through the inventory to make a choice.

The third step is to contact a representative of the platform, make further enquiries, get some buying power to enable you bid or buy, and schedule an auction for the car you chose.

In summary, once you have a clear understand of how auctions work, the type of auctions and the risks involved, car auctions are a vary affordable way t get your dream car without breaking the bank. The sad truth is that not everyone can afford brand new cars, that doesn't mean only a few deserve to own and drive cars.

When buying a used car, you may feel obligated to buy a particular car because it fits your budget or because it did not seem to need many repairs. However, a used car does not give you the same guarantees as a new car. You will need to look out for any mechanical problems when driving it. Not every used car has problems. However, for your safety, you need to note the telltale signs that your car has issues after buying a used car.

Use an Expert After Buying a Used Car
One of the best ways of spotting some of the problems the used car you have bought has is by getting a mechanic to test drive it. Mechanics tend to have a keen ear. They will hear any abnormal sounds. Sometimes, it is easy to miss out something when making minor repairs. However, an expert will be able to identify some of the problems that you have missed, if there are any at all.

Climbing Tachometer without an Increase in Speed
If you notice noise coming from the engine of the car, and the tachometer is climbing without you accelerating, it is likely that the transmission is developing problems. It is usually easier to tell if the transmission has issues when dealing with a manual car. It is harder to notice problems in an automatic transmission car. However, if you have a keen eye and ear, you will be able to notice any sounds or movements that are out of place.

A Delayed Response in Gear Shifts
If your car is not responding immediately to changing gears, you need to have it checked. All vehicles need to respond when the gears are changed. For example, changing the gear from P to D should be considered an order to be followed immediately. If it feels like your car is considering whether to obey your command or not, you need to have it checked.

Black Transmission Fluid
Look out for any leaking fluid. It is vital to do this since the engine could be adversely affected if it runs out of its essential fluids. If you don’t keep an eye on the transmission, your car may develop transmission issues in a very short time. The transmission fluid needs to be pink or red with a sweet smell. However, if you notice black fluid with a burnt smell, you need to get a mechanic to look at the car for a proper diagnosis.

Evenly Worn Tires
Driving a car with worn out tires is risky. One of the checks you need to do after buying a used car is whether the tires need to be replaced. You can do this by checking the surface of the tires. If they are unevenly worn out, find out if the brands of tires are different. It is possible to find some tires are newer than others. You can also touch the tires to feel if the wear and tear are even or not. If some parts of the tires seem to be more worn, it shows that there is an alignment issue that will need to be addressed.

Place Your Finger in the Exhaust Pipe to See if it is Oily
If you do not want to get your hands dirty, you could ask your mechanic to do this. Make sure the pipe is not hot! If your finger is greasy after you carry out this test, it is an indication that the engine is burning oil. You need your mechanic to find out why.

Turn Everything On
You need to check everything. Are the automatic locks working? Find out if the windows are sliding with ease. Are all the indicators and lights working? Check the air conditioning to see if it is functioning well or if you need to have the gas refilled. Check if the seats are adjusting as they should, especially the driver’s seat. If all these are functioning well, you have no cause for worry. However, if some of them are not responding as expected, you need to have them fixed.

Drive in the Rain
Driving in the rain gives you the opportunity to check the traction of the tires. You need to remember that you may not have the luxury of great weather all the time you are driving. You will likely get stuck in a rainstorm at some point. When this happens, you need to be confident that you will be driving a safe car. You need to be sure the wipers work when you need them to. You also need to make sure the defroster works.

Service Your Car
The ideal way to identify any problems with the used car you bought is by taking it to be serviced. The mechanic will locate any engine problems when servicing the car. If the issue can be fixed easily, he will be able to do it. Taking your car for service will take a load off your shoulders. You will be confident that the significant problems the vehicle had have been taken care of. If the car has many problems, you can work out a schedule with the mechanic so you can work on the riskiest issues first.

Look Out for Rusty Parts
Corrosion is common in cars, especially those that were once stuck in floods. If you see any rusty parts, especially in the engine, you need to have them replaced. It is important to note that the rusty piece will only get worse. It would be best if you did not take risks unless you have plans to replace the part soon. Get the opinion of the mechanic if you are considering driving with the part as it is for some time.

You need to have your car checked after you have purchased it. This will confirm if you bought the car at a bargain or not. More importantly, you need to be able to drive the car believing in its safety and efficiency. With all this taken care of, you can rest assured that you are aware of the condition of the car that you are driving.
