What is the source for your inventory?
We have many different sources for the cars and trucks we stock. Vehicles may be purchased at dealer sales, at off-lease sales, directly from large franchise dealers, from credit unions and banks. The vehicles we retail on eBay are usually late model (98 and newer) and have good miles and may still be under a factory warranty. We resell cars with clean titles only, this means we never retail salvage, rebuilt, reconstructed, insurance claim, flood or other gray market vehicles unless specifically noted.
Do you have all titles on hand for your vehicles?
We do not always have titles on hand for vehicles that are placed for sale; titles may be in transit from banks, from other dealerships, from the state, and a host of other reasons for normal processing delays in title paperwork. We are a licensed and bonded dealer in Illinois and guarantee clear titles on all vehicles that we sell and 9 out of 10 times by the time the transaction takes place we have title. Please feel free to call and verify its disposition prior to contracting for sale.
What 'other' fees are there besides the purchase price?
The other fees include taxes, shipping and documentation charges. If you live in Illinois, you must pay the appropriate tax based on the county you live in. All buyers are required to pay documentation fee of 58.00 for handling paperwork, filing titles, mailing and copying costs, these fees are fixed and is non negotiable. There is a $49 vehicle prep fee which includes detailing the vehicle, inspecting the vehicle, and checking tires and fluids before shipment or sale.
