Bank Repo Trailer Auctions

People all over the country are getting excited about buying used trailer repos at auction. RV trailers in the last few years, have become to many a home away from home and a great way to enjoy touring the country. Due to a recent change in the economic climate of this country, RV owners are looking for ways to try and save money. You may benefit from recent economic down turns. The chance to great deals increases with these economic downturns. The number of desperate sellers is increasing, with trailer repos being sold at bank auctions sometimes at 20% of retail.

New trailers, for the most part, are overpriced. RV buyers know that when they drive a new rv trailer off the dealer's lot, they will automatically lose up to 35% of it's retail value. I suggest buying used or repossessed trailers at auction as a great way to save a bundle of money. Avoid the dealer, to get the great deals available,instead focus on finding great deals through private party sellers, RV bank repos, or RV Auctions. or buying Repo trailers from a bank.

Unfortunately most repo trailers go to auction only to get bought by dealers. Banks do not want to assume the role of professional trailer salesman. They only want to sell it as quickly as possible. You are still buying from a 3rd party when you buy from these second hand auctions.

It is a good idea to focus on local trailer auctions. Find bank repo trailers by contacting your lender and asking them if they have any RVs they are selling and to contact you later if they do. You may get lucky and a few lenders may be helpful. American General Finance is a big sub prime lender. They may be a good source for then. Trailer repos are sold in a silent auction or a vocal auction. Ideally, they will allow you to walk through before the trailer auction. Typically, the sales are final and you buy the RV trailer in as-Is condition.

Unlike foreclosed homes, most repo-ed trailers are in great condition with little wear and tear. Look for an RV in good condition for an excellent price. Fortunately, you can also benefit at an auction by getting a lot of upgrades. Look for trailers with useful upgrades like Internet access, generator, satelites and multiple slide out. You can get a lot more trailer for your money.

Focus is the first part of buying a repo trailer at an auction. It is important to have a ceiling bid in mid before bidding. This will help you avoid a avoid a bidding war and spend to much for the trailer at auction. The ceiling bid is the is the maximum you will bid so stick to it. The people who lose at an auction are the ones who become emotional and overbid.

When possible, allows make sure to inspect the 'repo trailer' before bidding. Find out whatever needs to be fixed and then deducted the amount of repairs from the price you are willing to pay. When it is not possible to inspect the trailer first, it is probably a good idea to factor in a contingency. A good percentage is 5-15% above the likely cost of minor repairs.

In most cases you are not stuck with the unit if you find any major unforeseen problems immediately after purchase. however it is best to know this beforehand. Auctioneer sometimes give you 24 hours to 3 days to have the unit privately inspected. This is strongly recommended.

Before you bid at 'trailer auctions', it is important to know the approximate value of what you are bidding on. You can also use a guide book such as the NADA guide to determine the approx value of the repo trailer. If you use the NADA remember you are buying under private party value. You should be able to get it for trade in value or less. Most people do not have access to this value, but if you call a dealership they will be happy to give you a low trade in value to work with. (Especially if they think they might be getting a trade in.) Knowing the correct value is the best place to start when looking to get the best deal on repo trailers.
