ABS Auto
Auctions is a full-service, sealed bid auto auction. Currently, over 500 new car
dealers sell 70,000+ vehicles a year to our 1,500+ registered buyers using the
ABS auction system. For over 20 years, ABS systems have continually improved
with one idea in mind: increase your profits and simplify remarketing
efforts.
Maximize your profit Obtain the highest
possible bid from each buyer with the sealed bid environment. Buyers are unaware
of their competitors bid amounts, so they are forced to submit their highest
possible bid for each vehicle – right at the start. There is no ‘back and forth
bidding.’ Winning bids are often substantially higher then the next highest bid
– impossible with traditional auctions.
Profits are increased by an
average of $350 per unit regardless of the previous wholesaling methods used.
Consider the math - what would this mean to you in extra profits?
The ABS
sealed bid format is a time proven winner.
Industry Leading Automotive Remarketing
Save
valuable time Spend only 30 minutes per week wholesaling your
unwanted trade-ins using the ABS system. No need to attend auctions or deal with
wholesalers one-on-one. Every aspect of the system may be managed on-line, at
your desk, in minutes:
Review comps Submit inventory
Analyze results Approve bids Now you can focus on
retail!
Take control The ABS system
allows you to easily manage your wholesale operation. Access current and
historical sales results and clear, informative reports such as sale reviews,
vehicle history, pending titles, and the market report. Each is available
instantly, day or night, online.
Convenient
locations Each week, ABS offers 100 - 300 highly desirable, new car
dealer trade-ins and aged front line inventory at each of our 10 locations.
These conveniently located auctions dramatically cut travel time and attract
large numbers of buyers.
ABS Auctions attract serious buyers. On average,
100 buyers attend and bid during each auction. Most are retailers, not
wholesalers.
Marketing The process
begins with a state-of-the-art system that scans the VIN to collect accurate
data including year, make, model, trim, engine, and transmission. Then vehicles
are booked (using Car Power), photographs taken and complete details uploaded to
our database where everything is formatted and sent to the ABS web
site.
Marketing culminates in the unique ABS online Advance List. The
Advance List includes six photos, a book sheet, and 90 day comparison lookups
for each vehicle – all available at the click of a button. Additionally, the
Advance List is forwarded to over 1,200 registered buyers each week via fax and
email. Reminder calls before each auction insure maximum exposure for your
inventory.
New buyers are continuously recruited. The ABS Database
includes every independent used car dealer in California, and is used for fax
and email promotions, comprehensive computer based telemarketing programs,
direct mail, and daily sales
calls.
Merchandising Vehicles are carefully
displayed, numbered and grouped by dealer. Book sheets appear in each window.
Lots are clean and well organized. ABS staffs each sale with trained
professionals (one for each 30-35 units) to assist and control the
process.
ABS lots feature state of the art security systems including
sophisticated cameras that sense human movement (after hours) and transmit
images to security headquarters where voice warnings can be sent directly to the
lot notifying intruders that police are coming. Cameras run 24/7, allowing us to
monitor all activity. Professional
Administration ABS is a full service auction, dedicated to
serving the new car dealer. Everything is provided including pre-auction
marketing, valuation assistance, transportation, washing services, security,
arbitration, and DMV paperwork. Flooring Program ABS
further increases seller profits through our buyer flooring program. This
program adds value to inventory and increases purchasing power. Buyers bid on
more vehicles - and bid higher. Average profit per unit is doubled on floored
vehicles. Second Chance Sale Vehicles
not sold during their first auction are eligible for our unique second chance
sale. This sale is designed to move those few no-sales quickly and reduce time
and expenses associated with reruns.
Second chance sales run the day
following each auction. They are special four hour sales where each vehicle
carries a conditional sale amount designated by its seller, allowing bidders to
know what it takes to buy each vehicle. The four hour time limit creates urgency
with bidders, who often bid higher than the minimum sale
amount.
Guaranteed Bids Bids are guaranteed. If a
bidder backs out, we honor the bid. You can take that to the
bank!
Guaranteed Checks Protect your
valuable cash. Checks are guaranteed by an "A" rated insurance carrier.
Eliminate the risks of accepting bad checks from
wholesalers. Improved Cash Flow Our fast and easy
title-for-check system guarantees prompt payment within 48 hours. No more
chasing checks at auction or from reluctant wholesalers. How many titles do you
have awaiting payment? Commitment is the Key Dealers who commit all of their inventory, the good, the
bad and the ugly, enjoy the highest profits ($400-$600 per vehicle) and
percentage of inventory sold (over 90%). As buyers evaluate inventory, they
expect to see this range. When the most desirable vehicles are missing, bid
activity is dramatically reduced, cutting deeply into your profits. Once dealers
establish a positive reputation, buyers bid aggressively and with confidence,
week after week.
The ABS system is designed from the ground up to
maximize profits and save time for new car dealers in their remarketing efforts.
We provide virtually every service of major live-auctions at about one-third the
cost, a fraction of the time with better overall results. It is far more
effective (and secure) than hand wholesaling one-on-one between buyer and
seller.
