I bought my current unit at auction...would you buy from me?
Paid 22 cents on the dollar for a nice clean 10 year old unit with 52K miles in 2010. It was a Bank of America repo sold at an auction sale in Fort Worth, Texas. Used a friend with a dealer license to access and bid. Carfax basically showed the title history and where it had lived only.
Added 6 new Michelin's, 4 new house batteries, new shocks, 1 new slide out cover, new fluids and filters, 2 new flat screen TV's, new stereo, and had some spring work done. Been from TX to eastern TN and back 5 times plus local trips in the last 5 years adding up to about 15K more miles.
Why was it a repo? After finding the most recent paperwork on it after getting it home, determined that an older couple financed it for way too much money and the husband passed away (google search). Family let it go back.
So...IF I was selling and told you I bought it at Auction, would you that scare you off. Lots of different reasons they end up there.
Good luck on your search.
