Reasons Not to Buy a Repossessed Car

Repossessed cars, also known as repo cars, or mga kotseng nahatak can be a good option for car buyers looking to buy lower priced vehicles, but there are also myths and misconceptions that can surround repossessed cars. In this article, let’s take a look at some of them, and debunk them, should they need debunking.

Repossessed cars are in bad condition

There’s a saying that repossessed cars are in bad shape all the time, or “Wag kang bibili ng repo cars kasi sira-sira na mga yan.” While it is true that there are repossessed cars that are in bad condition, or terribly damaged, most are not. You do not have to buy these particular units in bad condition. In fact, for every 1 unit in bad condition, there are 20 – 30 units in great condition, and you will be able to save big by purchasing these units.

Also, since repossessed car dealers like Automart.PH are transparent about the conditions of the units, you will not blindly buy a vehicle. What you see, is what you get. Automart.PH’s on-ground advisors will even offer free advice on which particular units are in good shape, and will be worth the money.

Repossessed cars have been neglected:

Oftentimes when walking into a repossessed car lot or warehouse, you will see that the units are dirty and or dusty. This is true. However, this does not mean that the cars have been neglected, they are simply dirty on the exterior. Some repossessed car are stored inside warehouses with protection from the elements. All repossessed cars are also checked for their conditions, have proper personnel maintaining their conditions, and a free car wash will be given when you purchase a repossessed car. So don’t let that dust or dirt sway you, all most need is just a quick car wash, and you’re good to go.

Choices are limited because the good units have already been selected by dealers

Some say that buying from a repossessed car seller like Automart.PH means that the good units have already been bought by second-hand car dealers, and all that’s left are bad units. This is false. In Automart.PH, whether you’re a dealer, single-car buyer, or retail customer, everyone is treated fairly and is on equal footing. So don’t be afraid of other buyers getting special treatment, while you don’t. Automart.PH will help you purchase the perfect repossessed car that will fit your needs, no matter who you are.

It’s hard to buy a repossessed car

This is once again false. Buying a repossessed car from Automart.PH is very easy. Here are the steps:

1. Head on over to automart.ph on your laptop, computer, cellphone, or tablet
2. Search for a car that you are interested in
3. Schedule an in person appointment to view and inspect the unit that you are interested in
4. Bid immediately and we’ll get back to you in a few days if you are the winning bidder
5. Once you win the bid, simply pay for your vehicle, and you may drive away with your vehicle shortly.

You can only buy a repossessed car through a bidding process

This is once again false. While some repossessed cars can be bought through an auction process, there are hundreds of units that can be bought using the “buy now” feature of Automart.PH. This means that you no longer need to participate in a bidding war, and you can simply pay the vehicle’s asking price, and you are all set.
