"Taking The Guess Work out of Buying a Used Vehicle in Houston"

The best transparent car buying experience for auto dealers and consumers in Houston Texas 

		About 2019 TRUEinvoice Auction Pass We have partnered with several auto dealers across the nation to provide you with vehicles at and sometimes even below auction price. How can we do this? Its simple. Each dealer across the nation has a used car inventory "Turn Policy" meaning they must sell a vehicle by a certain time. This policy usually reads , “Any vehicle that reaches 90 days must go.”  Nowadays, given the current high cost to acquire cars, price competition,, continuing  maintenance costs, etc. dealers are forced to sell faster then they used to. Today the average dealer turns or refreshes their inventory about every 45 days. The TRUEinvoice on a used vehicle would be what the dealer paid for it at auction +/- auction, transportation or recondition fees. These are cost you would have to pay yourself if you physically went the the auction. Auction fees are generally $250.00, transport fees $300.00 (depending on market) and reconditions fees vary. Typically all used car departments have safety checks. If a car needs tires, windshield etc. they fix it as soon as the unit comes in. A used car department in a franchised dealership may spend $500.00 up to $2,000.00 to make the car like new again. After the car passes inspection and gets a full detail they put it on the lot this is called "Frontline Ready". Here it sits and waits for you to sit in and drive home. The longer that unit sits on the lot the more it will cost the dealer. Besides all the fees above, there are the bank fees. 90% of all dealerships have a floor plan.  The dealer pays interest to the bank on the vehicle and usually has a deal worked out with the bank that allows the dealer to keep the car for 60 - 90 days, paying interest only.   What happens if a dealer goes over the specified time allotted by the bank? Then the dealer has to pay the car completely off. In other words the bank holds the title and if the dealer goes beyond the agreement he must pay the bank what the loan value is plus interest and more fees.
