Why Japanese Dealer Car Auction through Auto House
Buy Like A Car Dealer and Save Thousands!
Buying from Dealer's Inventory
Buying from Dealer Car Auctions
For the used-car business, car dealers must have inventory on their lots in order to offer vehicles to customers.
And the dealers must incur great expenses, such as
lot maintenance costs and
over-aged inventory loss,
in order to maintain their inventory.
The dealer's selling price of a used-car is determined by the cost of obtaining the vehicle
(the wholesale price) plus those overhead expenses.
However, Auto House is YOUR, the buyer's, commission agent
and assists you in purchasing your vehicle at a dealer's wholesale price
directly from the Japanese Dealer Car Auction.
We do not carry certain vehicles as inventory in order to cut out overhead expenses.
No longer will you have to pay a dealer's overhead to maintain THEIR inventory.
Lot Maintenance Costs
One of the expenses incurred by a car dealer with inventory.
The dealer's accumulating inventory is stored in a lot generating expenses to their business.
Renting the lot alone costs over several thousands of dollars, and they must also consider
the cost of holding a car in inventory such as cleaning, lot security, and advertising.
Even if the dealer owns the lot, property tax and inventory costs add to the the dealer's expenses.
Over-Aged Inventory Loss
One of the costs incurred bya dealer with inventory.
Used-cars are a constantly depreciating asset. They lose value every day while on a lot. Generally,
the Japanese dealer's inventory turnover ratio, i.e. average days from acquiring to the selling of a vehicle,
is 85 days and approx. 68% of their inventory are sold during this period.
The remaining 32% of their inventory, unsold for three months, are sold at a Dealer Car Auction
in order to prevent continued loss. This over-aged inventory is turned over into cash by being sold
at the Dealer Car Auction in order to purchase future inventory.
The over-aged inventory produces a loss of thousands of dollars per vehicle through the costs of storage,
inland freight transportation, auction fees and the vehicles' decreasing value.
Purchasing a vehicle directly from the Japanese Dealer Car Auction through Auto House auction agent service
allows you to avoid any other common extra charges and commissions imposed by intermediaries.
You can save thousands of dollars for the same vehicle you would find at your local dealer.
