Advantages of Car Consignment for Military Personnel: Value
If you are a member of the U.S. military, you understand that preparing for deployment can be a daunting task. In addition to your day-to-day responsibilities, you are busy making legal, financial, and family arrangements in preparation for your leave.
If you plan to sell your car prior to deployment, you probably don’t want to deal with the hassle, and you may need to wait until the last minute. Since you’re in a hurry, you may have to settle for a low price from a private buyer or dealership.
Then How Should Military Personnel Sell Their Unneeded Cars?
Until recently you have had no other option than to sell privately or directly to a dealership. Car consignment, however, is a growing trend in the auto industry that provides sellers the value of the private market without the traditional hassles of the sale-by-owner used car market.
With Auto Consignments, U.S. military personnel who need to sell a car can get the best of both worlds: more money than a dealership trade-in, less hassle than selling it yourself.
There are several key advantages to consigning your car,motorcycle, RV, boat, or any other vehicle or trailer with Auto Consignments instead of selling it yourself privately or to a dealer. We have sorted these benefits into three key areas for members of the U.S. military: value, convenience, and security. We will address convenience and security later. Today, let’s focus purely on value.

To better understand how Auto Consignments works, please read our customers Frequently Asked Questions. Scroll down to see how Selling and Buying works, and also detailed information about Payments, Shipping and Guarantees.
Seller drops vehicle to Auto Consignments
•Getting Started. You pay nothing upfront. We provide you with an average market evaluation price that your vehicle will sell for. It’s mutually beneficial for us to get the best price while satisfying Buyer expectations. We can review your techniques for getting the best price for your vehicle.
•Appearance Counts. The on screen appearance is critical to gain Buyer attention. Our Auto Consignments staff takes the time to professionally photograph each vehicle, using careful positioning and the most advantageous lighting. Our employees have created tens of thousands of photos that have successfully sold cars, trailers, boats, RV's and other vehicles online.
•Copy Sales. Once the vehicle will pass our inspection, they can be listed on the marketplace of choice: eBay, Craigslist or Kijiji.
•Descriptions are accurate and clearly portray the specs, features and usage of each vehicle so it can arrive to the Buyer as advertised.
Buyer sends payment to Auto Consignments for safe keeping.
•Payment & Shipping. When a Buyer makes payment on your sold item, the money are deposited in a safe account. Once the payment is completed and verified by Auto Consignments, we professionally package and ship the item.
•Delivery & Inspection. At delivery, you will be walked through a PDI (Pre-Delivery-Inspection) which will give you a general idea of the item or vehicle you are purchasing.
•7 Day Money Back Guarantee. Once delivered, the 7 Day Money Back Guarantee starts, which gives you more time to inspect and decide if the Item or vehicle is as expected. Then, you can approve, or return the Item. If returned for any reason other than "damage during transportation", the Seller will be responsible for any fees that apply, and the shipping process will be reversed
You Get Paid!
•When the Buyer accepts the vehicle, the process is complete. We deduct our sales fees and send you a check. It’s that easy!
Why should I sell my car at Auto Consignments?
It used to be that when you made the decision to sell your car, boat, RV, or any other vehicle, you had two choices: (1) sell it to a dealer, which can be convenient but often results in a price that is 15-25% less than the private party value; or (2) take on the time consuming challenge of selling it on your own. Auto Consignments offers a third option – a service that helps sellers get more money for their cars without the traditional hassles and risk of transacting in the private market.
What does it cost to sell my car at Auto Consignments?
We take an up front fee of $199, which covers the work we do to prepare and market your vehicle for sale, including a thorough 63-POINT-SYSTEM-CHECK inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, a vehicle history report, professional photographs, ad copy-writing, and various internet listings. If your car needs a full detail, we can take care of that for you for an additional $100 for sedans and $120 for trucks and SUVs. After we successfully sell your vehicle, we take a success fee directly from the sales proceeds. Our incentives are completely aligned: If we don’t sell it, we don’t get paid a success fee
Auto Consignments was founded so that everyone—from individuals, to businesses, to fundraising organizations—would have an easy way to sell merchandise on eBay, Craigslist or Kijiji. Like many service stores personalized attention, reliability, and expert skills is what is important at Auto Consignments. Our business formula rests on the idea that busy people and small businesses want exceptional service to help manage their affairs.
We believe customers are hungry for a safe service. We live in a time when there is no service at service stations, personal banking is served by an ATM, and Facebook has turned the word Friend into a verb referring to connecting to a cyber person.
“Safe Service” Is the Foundation of Our Business Formula
You could...just as you could paint your own house, or draft your own will. But most people know that they'll get a better quality result if they hire an expert with the right tools, training, expertise, and reputation. Auto Consignments became the #1 Volume Seller on eBay, Craigslist and Kijiji by being the expert in online consignment sales:
•Our trained researchers can appraise your vehicle, so you know whether your vehicle is likely to sell, and at what price.
•Our professional photographers have the right cameras, lighting, backdrops, settings and editing software to visually showcase your vehicle to its best advantage.
•Our expert copywriters maximize your vehicle's exposure by discovering the best categories in which to list your vehicle and using the key words that are most likely to match a prospective Buyer's online search.
•Our customer service representatives promptly answer questions from prospective buyers to ensure that they have the information they need to buy with confidence. They also have the experience to avoid phony bidders and online scams.
•Our shippers carefully prepare and ship your vehicles so that they arrive promptly and in good condition, minimizing returns.
•Our national brand and high feedback rating makes buyers more likely to bid on our auctions rather than auctions run by individuals.
In fact, many vehicles we sell end at a value 15%-25% higher than comparable items sold by private individuals--completely offsetting our commission and fees!
Auto Consignments is always free for Buyers.
Sellers pay an up front fee of $199, which covers the work we do to prepare and market your vehicle for sale, including a thorough 63-POINT-SYSTEM-CHECK inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, a vehicle history report, professional photographs, ad copy-writing, and various internet listings.

After we successfully sell your vehicle, we take a success fee directly from the sales proceeds. Our incentives are completely aligned: If we don’t sell it, we don’t get paid a success fee.
Sellers are also charged a extra small transaction fee if the transaction takes place with a credit card. e Checks are currently free and encouraged only for eBay transactions! Registration is required, but there are no entry fees, membership dues or monthly charges to use the service.
Sellers pay no transaction fee for eChecks and a small transaction fee when they complete a sale via credit card plus our normal commission which depends on what you are selling and for how much.
No sale, no charge! Credit card transaction fees are deducted when the funds are transferred to a Bank Account and are only available for eBay transactions.
No, PayPal and Auto Consignments are not similar or associated in any way. PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet, while Auto Consignments is a escrow/consignment company which works only in United States, Canada and United Kingdom and covers all aspects of an online sale, including shipping, payment and more.
At this time, Auto Consignments offer its services on eBay, Craigslist and Kijiji only. We do not use other marketplaces at this time, but we are constantly expanding, so we may consider other marketplaces in the future. See our blog for the latest news and updates, and also for any changes made by Auto Consignments.
No. Auto Consignments is not affiliated with these companies in any way. We use these marketplaces for listing purposes only. Only vehicles sold on these marketplaces by Auto Consignments are protected by our guarantees

There are several key advantages to consigning your car,motorcycle, RV, boat, or any other vehicel or trailer with Auto Consignments instead of selling it yourself privately or to a dealer. We have sorted these benefits into three key areas for members of the U.S. military: value, convenience, and security. We will address convenience and security later. Today, let’s focus purely on value.
Consigning Your Car Earns You More Money
Getting new orders that require you to relocate puts a lot on your plate, and selling a car on short notice may force you to take less money just so you can get rid of the car. By opting for Auto Consignments, you don’t have the pressure to sell the car immediately and be forced to accept a low-ball price.
The staff at Auto Consignments will research the market for comparable vehicles and help you pick a fair market price. Auto Consignments will then have your car inspected by a mechanic, professionally cleaned and photographed, and then listed on all the major websites where buyers shop for cars, including eBay.com and Craigslist.
You remain control over your car’s price throughout the sale process. If a buyer makes an offer, Auto Consignments will present it to you and manage the negotiations on your behalf. By marketing your car professionally across the entire country and giving you information to help make an informed pricing decision, Auto Consignments ensures that members of the U.S. military receive the most money possible for their cars, even after our low flat fee.
Recently, a customer from WA shared his Auto Consignments experience:
by John P. from New Orleans, LA
“I turned my 2006 Honda accord over to Auto Consignments to try to make a fair sale as compared to the Honda Dealership offer as a new car trade in. The Auto Consignments customer service staff was knowledgeable, totally professional, and made great use of automobile selling computer programs. This helped me make an informed decision on a selling price range. Auto Consignments cleaned, photographed (from numerous angles), and marketed my car, resulting in a sale in FOUR DAYS. I’m convinced I made $2000-$3000 more than what the Honda dealership would have given me. My highest recommendation as an exceptionally satisfied customer.”

Is Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Marketing a Gimmick?
The used car industry is full of options, which can be overwhelming and downright confusing. Even after you’ve decided what type of car you want, you still have many possibilities to consider, many of which have to do with vehicle features and quality.
A common differentiator in used vehicle sales is the Certified Pre-Owned mark. In recent years, Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle sales have risen. These vehicles seem like a good option for consumers, but what does the CPO sticker actually mean? What are the pros and cons of purchasing a CPO vehicle? Is the price of the CPO designation worth the benefits provided? If you’re shopping for a car and don’t want to pay the CPO premium, can you replicate the CPO benefits on your own less expensively? These are all questions we seek to answer below.
What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
Certified pre-owned, or CPO, is basically a marketing term developed by the automotive industry to make used cars easier to sell by offering consumers peace of mind benefits. Edmunds.com reports that CPO accounts for 20.4% of franchised dealer used car sales and is on the rise. CPO vehicle benefits include inspection, reconditioning, and certification by either the original manufacturer or the dealer. In addition, CPOs typically carry some form of extended warranty coverage to give the consumer added comfort in their purchase. The certified warranty will cover the vehicle for a certain number of months or miles after the original warranty expires.
You should note, however, that not all CPO programs are created equal. Factory-backed CPOs are the best because they carry manufacturer-specific inspection and reconditioning requirements, will offer a built-in warranty backed by the original manufacturer, and are available only at authorized franchise dealerships.
Dealer-backed CPOs typically also include warranty-like coverage in the form of an extended service contract. However, inspection requirements and terms depend on the selling-dealer, not a stringent manufacturer requirement. Either way, it’s important to review each manufacturer’s or dealer’s certification programs before purchasing so you fully understand the terms and coverage. For example, Cars.com offers a great overview of manufacturer CPO programs.
How Much Does CPO Cost?
While CPO vehicles provide legitimate benefits to consumers, they command a premium price compared to non-CPO cars. According to CNW Research, the price consumers are paying for CPO benefits is $2,800, which is the average amount more that dealers make on CPO cars compared to their non-certified counterparts.
So, is the juice worth the squeeze? Consider the following:
CPO vehicles are relatively low-risk vehicles
Factories and dealers will only offer certified pre-owned status on late-model, low-mileage vehicles (ie, less than 5 years old and fewer than 80,000 miles). In many cases, CPO vehicles are young enough that they still have the basic manufacturer’s warranty. This means you are paying a premium for comprehensive protection on a vehicle that likely will not require enough repairs to justify that degree of coverage.
Sure, the comfort of a long-term comprehensive warranty is great, but is it worth the price of admission? Arguably, consumers may gain minimal benefit from CPO protection because they’re paying a premium for comprehensive coverage on a low risk car with original warranty remaining, but that depends on how much the consumer values the added peace of mind.
CPO vehicle options are restricted
Most cars more than four to six years old or that have more than 60,000 to 80,000 miles rarely qualify for CPO status. As such, customers shopping for older, higher mileage cars at lower price points may not have the CPO option available even though the peace of mind may be highly valuable given the added risk of that vehicle. So, while CPO status can provide some great protection, it is typically not available for a large segment of car buyers that would legitimately benefit from it.
Do Alternatives to CPO Vehicles Exist?
Fortunately, if you’re in the market for a vehicle and desire the CPO peace of mind, but you don’t want to pay the premium, you have alternatives that provide similar comfort and coverage at a more competitive price. Whether you’re in the market for an older vehicle that doesn’t qualify for CPO status or a newer model that does, you can replicate CPO coverage, usually at a cost well below the comparable CPO premium.
If that’s up your alley, your first step is to take the vehicle to an independent mechanic you trust for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, which typically cost $75-$125. Next, purchase an extended vehicle service contract that provides the terms and coverage most important to you. The cost of these contracts varies by provider, vehicle, and terms desired, but you can often find prices well below the comparable CPO warranty through independent dealerships, national auto lenders such as USAA, or your local bank or credit union.
As an example, Auto Consignments is a consignment service generally for used vehicles, and we often help our customers find a vehicle service contract that provides the coverage desired – from simple powertrain to comprehensive coverage. These often come at a 25-50% discount to comparable CPO coverage at traditional dealerships. The chart below highlights how much you can save by creating your own version of a CPO vehicle. You’ll see in this example that the addition of a mechanic check-up and a full coverage service contract enables you to save roughly $1,200 over the same car with a CPO sticker.
2012_Honda_Accord_CPO
Whether or not you choose CPO, do research and find the best option for you!
As referenced in this chart, a non-certified pre-owned 2012 Honda Accord is $1173 less expensive than its CPO counterpart.
Whether or not you choose CPO, do research and find the best option for you!
Purchasing a car is a significant investment, and finding the best fit is critical. Take the time to consider what car fulfills your needs and what degree of warranty coverage, if any, works best for you.
CPO vehicles can be a great option for certain consumers, but as we’ve shown here, safety and coverage don’t have to come at a large premium. Finding the right car and the right protection for you is worth taking the time to check out options beyond only Certified Pre-Owned cars. A little extra investigation can yield some serious savings!

What Causes Tire Pressure Loss Overnight?
With the fall season upon us, many areas of the U.S. will experience cool temperatures overnight and in the morning with warm temperatures throughout the day. With the temperature drop overnight, many car owners start their cars only to find a pesky “Check Tire Pressure” light on their dashboard. What does this mean? It means it’s time to check the air pressure in your tires!
Fuel-Door-Full-Open
Why is Checking Tire Pressure Important?
Maintaining proper tire inflation is important for car owners for a few key reasons:
1. Tire Pressure Safety
When you think about it, only four small patches of rubber maintain grip and control between you, your vehicle, and the road. Improperly inflated tires may reduce adhesion and control, leading to greater stopping distances and a heightened chance of hydroplaning in inclement weather.
2. Longevity
You tires were engineered for specific PSI levels that ensure optimal contact with the road. Over-inflated tires put excessive pressure on the center tread, while under-inflated tires roll excessively onto their sidewalls when turning. Both mean a loss of traction, lessened water evacuation, and increased wear and tear due to scrubbing off of rubber and uneven heating, meaning you’ll need to replace them sooner than the manufacturer intends.
3. Optimal Tire Pressure and Fuel Economy
If your tires are improperly inflated, your vehicle will make sub-optimal contact with the road, causing your engine and tires to work harder to overcome contact friction. As a result, you will reduce fuel economy.
Why Did My Vehicle Lose Tire Pressure Overnight?
Fall weather in many areas can bring a large fluctuation between daytime and nighttime temperatures. These changes in temperature can cause your tires to lose pressure as the air inside them expands and contracts, triggering the “Check Tire Pressure” light on your dashboard.
Don’t panic: the light does not necessarily mean your tires are leaking. As ambient temperature levels change, so does the air pressure within the tire. It’s the same as when you drive at higher speeds for an extended period: the tire warms, and the air within expands and increases pressure. During the fall season with daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s falling overnight to the 40s and 50s, you may need to check your tire pressure more often.
imagesHow to Check Tire Pressure
Checking and adjusting tire pressure is quite easy. Just follow these steps:
1. Check tire pressure when your tires are cold.
To ensure an accurate reading, it’s best to check tire pressure when your tires are cold. The morning before driving is best (usually right after you see that “Check Tire Pressure Light”) or after at least two hours of the car sitting, preferably not in the direct sunlight. If you don’t have a gauge or pump at home and need to visit a service station, try the closest station on the first drive of your day.
If you’ve been driving more than 15 minutes or if your tires have been sitting in the bright sun, inflate your tires to 2 PSI below the recommended pressure.
Regardless of the circumstances, if your tire pressure warning lamp comes on or you notice a tire is low, inflate your tire as soon as possible. You can always measure and adjust it properly at the next opportunity.
2. Use a high quality pressure gauge.
Most service stations have high quality gauges and allow you to check and adjust pressure free of charge. For the DIY driver, you can purchase these at most auto parts stores or online. For example, Amazon offers good options for both a dial-face gauge and a digital gauge. If you want to inflate your tires at home, pick up a portable compressor.
3. Check tire pressure routinely.
Every 20 degree change in ambient temperature can lead to tire pressure changes that impact tire performance, tread wear, handling, and fuel mileage, so be sure to check routinely as temperatures drop in the fall and winter seasons.
Quick note: if a service shop offers an “upsell” to nitrogen to fill your tires, it generally isn’t worth the price. That is unless you have a high performance vehicle that you often drive on the track or for extended periods at high speeds. If you don’t fall into that category, save your money and stick with air in your tires.
As we’ve discussed here, proper tire inflation impacts grip, water evacuation, tire temperature, wear, and fuel mileage, so be safe and heed those warning lights!

Why Auto Consignments is Safer than Selling a Car Yourself
Over the previous two weeks, we have posted two articles that discuss the advantages of consigning your car instead of trading-in at a dealership or selling it yourself. Our first post discussed how Auto Consignments can save sellers time and effort, while our second post outlined how consignment can increase the sales price and speed of sale due to the additional resources and expertise provided.
Below, we explain the two main reasons why vehicle consignment offers sellers more safety, security, and comfort than selling a car yourself.
(1) With Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers are protected from would-be scammers that frequent the sale-by-owner market.
Buyers and sellers expose themselves to meaningful risk of fraud, theft, and scams when dealing with strangers in sale-by-owner transactions. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people are out there praying on unsuspecting victims by arranging test drives only to steal the seller’s car, steal the buyer’s cash, pass a fraudulent check, or fish for information to commit identity theft.
When using Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers can remain anonymous, ensuring both parties transact safely and securely. Specifically, Auto Consignments can handle all details of vehicle transactions, including prior inspection, shipping and handling, test drives, sale paperwork and payment processing.
Auto Consignments will be on the lookout for scam artists and weed out any people looking to commit fraud, so buyer and seller remain protected throughout the sale process.
(2) Using Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers alike avoid uncomfortable dealings with strangers.
With the countless different personalities in the world, buyers and sellers may have conflicting personalities or agendas that make direct interaction on test drives and price negotiations quite uncomfortable.
Auto Consignments is staffed with customer service professionals who can facilitate all aspects of an online sale, Q&A, and price negotiations between both parties, keeping both buyer and seller happy and conflict-free throughout the process.
If you want the most money for your car but don’t want to deal with the hassle and safety concerns associated with the sale-by-owner market, Auto Consignments is a great option for you. For more information on how Auto Consignments can help you sell your vehicle, please visit http://www.autoconsignments.com or call 855-258-0679 (USA and CANADA) or (800) 048-8086 (UNITED KINGDOM).

Sellers Get More Resources and Expertise from Auto Consignment
In a previous blog post, we talked about the challenges of selling a used car and the advantages of choosing Auto Consignments instead of selling yourself or trading-in at a dealership. Specifically, we outlined why consigning your car saves you time and effort.
Below, we discuss how vehicle consignment provides additional resources and expertise that helps car owners get the most money for their cars with the least amount of hassle.
Your Car is Money
So, why exactly does Auto Consignments help car owners sell their cars more quickly and for more money?
(1) Many buyers want an extended warranty with their car purchase.
Let’s say a buyer is interested in your sale-by-owner vehicle but wants some protection against any potential issues with the car down the road. As a private seller, that’s complicated since you can’t make any guarantees.
Auto Consignments offers aftermarket service contracts and can handle this need so you won’t miss good sale opportunities.
(2) Many buyers need to trade-in a car.
If a buyer needs the value from their current vehicle to help them buy your car, you probably don’t want their vehicle in a trade and don’t want the hassle of figuring out how to give them credit for it.
Auto Consignments will facilitate a trade-in and put the risk of re-sale on its shoulders, so that this type of buyer can still buy your car easily.
(3) Buyers don’t need to arrange shipping.
It can be pretty straightforward to sell your car to people who live near you, but what if the buyer is from the other side of the country or other side of the world? How will you help them get the vehicle delivered?
Auto Consignments helps buyers from all over the country maintain their interest in your vehicle and ultimately facilitates getting the deal done, so you don’t have to worry about getting the vehicle delivered by your own means.
Stay tuned for the next articles in this series covering the advantages of Auto Consignments related to improved security. For more information on how Auto Consignments can help you sell your car, please visit http://www.autoconsignments.com or call 855-258-0679 (USA and CANADA) or (800) 048-8086 (UNITED KINGDOM).

Why Consigning Your Car Saves You Time and Effort
Selling a used car can be a daunting task. If you’re like most people, you want the most money for your car, but you don’t have much time on your hands to deal with the hassle of selling it. Make the process easier by choosing Auto Consignments, which offers the best of both worlds: more money than a dealership trade-in and less hassle than selling it yourself.
When selling a used car, private party sales almost always generate more money than selling or trading in to a dealership. Unfortunately, selling a car yourself comes with lots of hassles and obstacles that most people would prefer to avoid.
Auto consignment, a growing trend in the used car market, provides the value of the private market without the traditional hassles associated with sale-by-owner used car market.
There are several key advantages to consigning your car instead of selling it yourself. We have grouped these advantages into three key categories that car owners should keep in mind when considering auto consignment: less time and effort, more resources and expertise, and better security. Below, we outline the advantages of auto consignment related to time and effort.
(1) You’d rather spend your valuable time elsewhere.
Selling a car yourself often requires you to take time off from work, find a safe meeting place, and use your precious free time waiting for a potential buyer to show up. Auto Consignments service, on the other hand, has a brand new system that makes it easy for buyers to view your car.
Consignment services also employ a staff dedicated to handling the unusual schedules of potential buyers so that you can focus on work, enjoy your free time, and be confident that your car is getting maximum exposure to buyers.
(2) You are too busy to manage buyer inquiries.
Our website is open 24/7 to handle any buyer inquiries, which can be frequent and time consuming. Most buyers will have a long list of questions that they’ll want answered before they purchase a car. They may want a mechanic to take a look at it. They may want specific pictures sent to them or warranty information.
A car consignment store is staffed to handle all buyer questions and issues so that you don’t, if you don’t want to. Once a qualified buyer is identified, Auto Consignments sales team will do all the prep work to make sure your car is ready so it will make the best possible impression.

Advantages of Car Consignment for Military Personnel: Value
If you are a member of the U.S. military, you understand that preparing for deployment can be a daunting task. In addition to your day-to-day responsibilities, you are busy making legal, financial, and family arrangements in preparation for your leave.
If you plan to sell your car prior to deployment, you probably don’t want to deal with the hassle, and you may need to wait until the last minute. Since you’re in a hurry, you may have to settle for a low price from a private buyer or dealership.
Then How Should Military Personnel Sell Their Unneeded Cars?
Until recently you have had no other option than to sell privately or directly to a dealership. Car consignment, however, is a growing trend in the auto industry that provides sellers the value of the private market without the traditional hassles of the sale-by-owner used car market.
With Auto Consignments, U.S. military personnel who need to sell a car can get the best of both worlds: more money than a dealership trade-in, less hassle than selling it yourself.
There are several key advantages to consigning your car,motorcycle, RV, boat, or any other vehicle or trailer with Auto Consignments instead of selling it yourself privately or to a dealer. We have sorted these benefits into three key areas for members of the U.S. military: value, convenience, and security. We will address convenience and security later. Today, let’s focus purely on value.

To better understand how Auto Consignments works, please read our customers Frequently Asked Questions. Scroll down to see how Selling and Buying works, and also detailed information about Payments, Shipping and Guarantees.
Seller drops vehicle to Auto Consignments
•Getting Started. You pay nothing upfront. We provide you with an average market evaluation price that your vehicle will sell for. It’s mutually beneficial for us to get the best price while satisfying Buyer expectations. We can review your techniques for getting the best price for your vehicle.
•Appearance Counts. The on screen appearance is critical to gain Buyer attention. Our Auto Consignments staff takes the time to professionally photograph each vehicle, using careful positioning and the most advantageous lighting. Our employees have created tens of thousands of photos that have successfully sold cars, trailers, boats, RV's and other vehicles online.
•Copy Sales. Once the vehicle will pass our inspection, they can be listed on the marketplace of choice: eBay, Craigslist or Kijiji.
•Descriptions are accurate and clearly portray the specs, features and usage of each vehicle so it can arrive to the Buyer as advertised.
Buyer sends payment to Auto Consignments for safe keeping.
•Payment & Shipping. When a Buyer makes payment on your sold item, the money are deposited in a safe account. Once the payment is completed and verified by Auto Consignments, we professionally package and ship the item.
•Delivery & Inspection. At delivery, you will be walked through a PDI (Pre-Delivery-Inspection) which will give you a general idea of the item or vehicle you are purchasing.
•7 Day Money Back Guarantee. Once delivered, the 7 Day Money Back Guarantee starts, which gives you more time to inspect and decide if the Item or vehicle is as expected. Then, you can approve, or return the Item. If returned for any reason other than "damage during transportation", the Seller will be responsible for any fees that apply, and the shipping process will be reversed
You Get Paid!
•When the Buyer accepts the vehicle, the process is complete. We deduct our sales fees and send you a check. It’s that easy!
Why should I sell my car at Auto Consignments?
It used to be that when you made the decision to sell your car, boat, RV, or any other vehicle, you had two choices: (1) sell it to a dealer, which can be convenient but often results in a price that is 15-25% less than the private party value; or (2) take on the time consuming challenge of selling it on your own. Auto Consignments offers a third option – a service that helps sellers get more money for their cars without the traditional hassles and risk of transacting in the private market.
What does it cost to sell my car at Auto Consignments?
We take an up front fee of $199, which covers the work we do to prepare and market your vehicle for sale, including a thorough 63-POINT-SYSTEM-CHECK inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, a vehicle history report, professional photographs, ad copy-writing, and various internet listings. If your car needs a full detail, we can take care of that for you for an additional $100 for sedans and $120 for trucks and SUVs. After we successfully sell your vehicle, we take a success fee directly from the sales proceeds. Our incentives are completely aligned: If we don’t sell it, we don’t get paid a success fee
Auto Consignments was founded so that everyone—from individuals, to businesses, to fundraising organizations—would have an easy way to sell merchandise on eBay, Craigslist or Kijiji. Like many service stores personalized attention, reliability, and expert skills is what is important at Auto Consignments. Our business formula rests on the idea that busy people and small businesses want exceptional service to help manage their affairs.
We believe customers are hungry for a safe service. We live in a time when there is no service at service stations, personal banking is served by an ATM, and Facebook has turned the word Friend into a verb referring to connecting to a cyber person.
“Safe Service” Is the Foundation of Our Business Formula
You could...just as you could paint your own house, or draft your own will. But most people know that they'll get a better quality result if they hire an expert with the right tools, training, expertise, and reputation. Auto Consignments became the #1 Volume Seller on eBay, Craigslist and Kijiji by being the expert in online consignment sales:
•Our trained researchers can appraise your vehicle, so you know whether your vehicle is likely to sell, and at what price.
•Our professional photographers have the right cameras, lighting, backdrops, settings and editing software to visually showcase your vehicle to its best advantage.
•Our expert copywriters maximize your vehicle's exposure by discovering the best categories in which to list your vehicle and using the key words that are most likely to match a prospective Buyer's online search.
•Our customer service representatives promptly answer questions from prospective buyers to ensure that they have the information they need to buy with confidence. They also have the experience to avoid phony bidders and online scams.
•Our shippers carefully prepare and ship your vehicles so that they arrive promptly and in good condition, minimizing returns.
•Our national brand and high feedback rating makes buyers more likely to bid on our auctions rather than auctions run by individuals.
In fact, many vehicles we sell end at a value 15%-25% higher than comparable items sold by private individuals--completely offsetting our commission and fees!
Auto Consignments is always free for Buyers.
Sellers pay an up front fee of $199, which covers the work we do to prepare and market your vehicle for sale, including a thorough 63-POINT-SYSTEM-CHECK inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, a vehicle history report, professional photographs, ad copy-writing, and various internet listings. If your car needs a full detail, we can take care of that for you for an additional $100 for sedans and $120 for trucks and SUVs. After we successfully sell your vehicle, we take a success fee directly from the sales proceeds. Our incentives are completely aligned: If we don’t sell it, we don’t get paid a success fee.
Sellers are also charged a extra small transaction fee if the transaction takes place with a credit card. e Checks are currently free and encouraged only for eBay transactions! Registration is required, but there are no entry fees, membership dues or monthly charges to use the service.
Sellers pay no transaction fee for eChecks and a small transaction fee when they complete a sale via credit card plus our normal commission which depends on what you are selling and for how much.
No sale, no charge! Credit card transaction fees are deducted when the funds are transferred to a Bank Account and are only available for eBay transactions.
No, PayPal and Auto Consignments are not similar or associated in any way. PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet, while Auto Consignments is a escrow/consignment company which works only in United States, Canada and United Kingdom and covers all aspects of an online sale, including shipping, payment and more.
At this time, Auto Consignments offer its services on eBay, Craigslist and Kijiji only. We do not use other marketplaces at this time, but we are constantly expanding, so we may consider other marketplaces in the future. See our blog for the latest news and updates, and also for any changes made by Auto Consignments.
No. Auto Consignments is not affiliated with these companies in any way. We use these marketplaces for listing purposes only. Only vehicles sold on these marketplaces by Auto Consignments are protected by our guarantees

With Auto Consignments, U.S. military personnel who need to sell a car can get the best of both worlds: more money than a dealership trade-in, less hassle than selling it yourself.
There are several key advantages to consigning your car,motorcycle, RV, boat, or any other vehicel or trailer with Auto Consignments instead of selling it yourself privately or to a dealer. We have sorted these benefits into three key areas for members of the U.S. military: value, convenience, and security. We will address convenience and security later. Today, let’s focus purely on value.
Consigning Your Car Earns You More Money
Getting new orders that require you to relocate puts a lot on your plate, and selling a car on short notice may force you to take less money just so you can get rid of the car. By opting for Auto Consignments, you don’t have the pressure to sell the car immediately and be forced to accept a low-ball price.
The staff at Auto Consignments will research the market for comparable vehicles and help you pick a fair market price. Auto Consignments will then have your car inspected by a mechanic, professionally cleaned and photographed, and then listed on all the major websites where buyers shop for cars, including eBay.com and Craigslist.
You remain control over your car’s price throughout the sale process. If a buyer makes an offer, Auto Consignments will present it to you and manage the negotiations on your behalf. By marketing your car professionally across the entire country and giving you information to help make an informed pricing decision, Auto Consignments ensures that members of the U.S. military receive the most money possible for their cars, even after our low flat fee.
Recently, a customer from WA shared his Auto Consignments experience:
by John P. from New Orleans, LA
“I turned my 2006 Honda accord over to Auto Consignments to try to make a fair sale as compared to the Honda Dealership offer as a new car trade in. The Auto Consignments customer service staff was knowledgeable, totally professional, and made great use of automobile selling computer programs. This helped me make an informed decision on a selling price range. Auto Consignments cleaned, photographed (from numerous angles), and marketed my car, resulting in a sale in FOUR DAYS. I’m convinced I made $2000-$3000 more than what the Honda dealership would have given me. My highest recommendation as an exceptionally satisfied customer.”

Is Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Marketing a Gimmick?
The used car industry is full of options, which can be overwhelming and downright confusing. Even after you’ve decided what type of car you want, you still have many possibilities to consider, many of which have to do with vehicle features and quality.
A common differentiator in used vehicle sales is the Certified Pre-Owned mark. In recent years, Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle sales have risen. These vehicles seem like a good option for consumers, but what does the CPO sticker actually mean? What are the pros and cons of purchasing a CPO vehicle? Is the price of the CPO designation worth the benefits provided? If you’re shopping for a car and don’t want to pay the CPO premium, can you replicate the CPO benefits on your own less expensively? These are all questions we seek to answer below.
What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
Certified pre-owned, or CPO, is basically a marketing term developed by the automotive industry to make used cars easier to sell by offering consumers peace of mind benefits. Edmunds.com reports that CPO accounts for 20.4% of franchised dealer used car sales and is on the rise. CPO vehicle benefits include inspection, reconditioning, and certification by either the original manufacturer or the dealer. In addition, CPOs typically carry some form of extended warranty coverage to give the consumer added comfort in their purchase. The certified warranty will cover the vehicle for a certain number of months or miles after the original warranty expires.
You should note, however, that not all CPO programs are created equal. Factory-backed CPOs are the best because they carry manufacturer-specific inspection and reconditioning requirements, will offer a built-in warranty backed by the original manufacturer, and are available only at authorized franchise dealerships.
Dealer-backed CPOs typically also include warranty-like coverage in the form of an extended service contract. However, inspection requirements and terms depend on the selling-dealer, not a stringent manufacturer requirement. Either way, it’s important to review each manufacturer’s or dealer’s certification programs before purchasing so you fully understand the terms and coverage. For example, Cars.com offers a great overview of manufacturer CPO programs.
How Much Does CPO Cost?
While CPO vehicles provide legitimate benefits to consumers, they command a premium price compared to non-CPO cars. According to CNW Research, the price consumers are paying for CPO benefits is $2,800, which is the average amount more that dealers make on CPO cars compared to their non-certified counterparts.
So, is the juice worth the squeeze? Consider the following:
CPO vehicles are relatively low-risk vehicles
Factories and dealers will only offer certified pre-owned status on late-model, low-mileage vehicles (ie, less than 5 years old and fewer than 80,000 miles). In many cases, CPO vehicles are young enough that they still have the basic manufacturer’s warranty. This means you are paying a premium for comprehensive protection on a vehicle that likely will not require enough repairs to justify that degree of coverage.
Sure, the comfort of a long-term comprehensive warranty is great, but is it worth the price of admission? Arguably, consumers may gain minimal benefit from CPO protection because they’re paying a premium for comprehensive coverage on a low risk car with original warranty remaining, but that depends on how much the consumer values the added peace of mind.
CPO vehicle options are restricted
Most cars more than four to six years old or that have more than 60,000 to 80,000 miles rarely qualify for CPO status. As such, customers shopping for older, higher mileage cars at lower price points may not have the CPO option available even though the peace of mind may be highly valuable given the added risk of that vehicle. So, while CPO status can provide some great protection, it is typically not available for a large segment of car buyers that would legitimately benefit from it.
Do Alternatives to CPO Vehicles Exist?
Fortunately, if you’re in the market for a vehicle and desire the CPO peace of mind, but you don’t want to pay the premium, you have alternatives that provide similar comfort and coverage at a more competitive price. Whether you’re in the market for an older vehicle that doesn’t qualify for CPO status or a newer model that does, you can replicate CPO coverage, usually at a cost well below the comparable CPO premium.
If that’s up your alley, your first step is to take the vehicle to an independent mechanic you trust for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, which typically cost $75-$125. Next, purchase an extended vehicle service contract that provides the terms and coverage most important to you. The cost of these contracts varies by provider, vehicle, and terms desired, but you can often find prices well below the comparable CPO warranty through independent dealerships, national auto lenders such as USAA, or your local bank or credit union.
As an example, Auto Consignments is a consignment service generally for used vehicles, and we often help our customers find a vehicle service contract that provides the coverage desired – from simple powertrain to comprehensive coverage. These often come at a 25-50% discount to comparable CPO coverage at traditional dealerships. The chart below highlights how much you can save by creating your own version of a CPO vehicle. You’ll see in this example that the addition of a mechanic check-up and a full coverage service contract enables you to save roughly $1,200 over the same car with a CPO sticker.
2012_Honda_Accord_CPO
Whether or not you choose CPO, do research and find the best option for you!
As referenced in this chart, a non-certified pre-owned 2012 Honda Accord is $1173 less expensive than its CPO counterpart.
Whether or not you choose CPO, do research and find the best option for you!
Purchasing a car is a significant investment, and finding the best fit is critical. Take the time to consider what car fulfills your needs and what degree of warranty coverage, if any, works best for you.
CPO vehicles can be a great option for certain consumers, but as we’ve shown here, safety and coverage don’t have to come at a large premium. Finding the right car and the right protection for you is worth taking the time to check out options beyond only Certified Pre-Owned cars. A little extra investigation can yield some serious savings!

What Causes Tire Pressure Loss Overnight?
With the fall season upon us, many areas of the U.S. will experience cool temperatures overnight and in the morning with warm temperatures throughout the day. With the temperature drop overnight, many car owners start their cars only to find a pesky “Check Tire Pressure” light on their dashboard. What does this mean? It means it’s time to check the air pressure in your tires!
Fuel-Door-Full-Open
Why is Checking Tire Pressure Important?
Maintaining proper tire inflation is important for car owners for a few key reasons:
1. Tire Pressure Safety
When you think about it, only four small patches of rubber maintain grip and control between you, your vehicle, and the road. Improperly inflated tires may reduce adhesion and control, leading to greater stopping distances and a heightened chance of hydroplaning in inclement weather.
2. Longevity
You tires were engineered for specific PSI levels that ensure optimal contact with the road. Over-inflated tires put excessive pressure on the center tread, while under-inflated tires roll excessively onto their sidewalls when turning. Both mean a loss of traction, lessened water evacuation, and increased wear and tear due to scrubbing off of rubber and uneven heating, meaning you’ll need to replace them sooner than the manufacturer intends.
3. Optimal Tire Pressure and Fuel Economy
If your tires are improperly inflated, your vehicle will make sub-optimal contact with the road, causing your engine and tires to work harder to overcome contact friction. As a result, you will reduce fuel economy.
Why Did My Vehicle Lose Tire Pressure Overnight?
Fall weather in many areas can bring a large fluctuation between daytime and nighttime temperatures. These changes in temperature can cause your tires to lose pressure as the air inside them expands and contracts, triggering the “Check Tire Pressure” light on your dashboard.
Don’t panic: the light does not necessarily mean your tires are leaking. As ambient temperature levels change, so does the air pressure within the tire. It’s the same as when you drive at higher speeds for an extended period: the tire warms, and the air within expands and increases pressure. During the fall season with daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s falling overnight to the 40s and 50s, you may need to check your tire pressure more often.
imagesHow to Check Tire Pressure
Checking and adjusting tire pressure is quite easy. Just follow these steps:
1. Check tire pressure when your tires are cold.
To ensure an accurate reading, it’s best to check tire pressure when your tires are cold. The morning before driving is best (usually right after you see that “Check Tire Pressure Light”) or after at least two hours of the car sitting, preferably not in the direct sunlight. If you don’t have a gauge or pump at home and need to visit a service station, try the closest station on the first drive of your day.
If you’ve been driving more than 15 minutes or if your tires have been sitting in the bright sun, inflate your tires to 2 PSI below the recommended pressure.
Regardless of the circumstances, if your tire pressure warning lamp comes on or you notice a tire is low, inflate your tire as soon as possible. You can always measure and adjust it properly at the next opportunity.
2. Use a high quality pressure gauge.
Most service stations have high quality gauges and allow you to check and adjust pressure free of charge. For the DIY driver, you can purchase these at most auto parts stores or online. For example, Amazon offers good options for both a dial-face gauge and a digital gauge. If you want to inflate your tires at home, pick up a portable compressor.
3. Check tire pressure routinely.
Every 20 degree change in ambient temperature can lead to tire pressure changes that impact tire performance, tread wear, handling, and fuel mileage, so be sure to check routinely as temperatures drop in the fall and winter seasons.
Quick note: if a service shop offers an “upsell” to nitrogen to fill your tires, it generally isn’t worth the price. That is unless you have a high performance vehicle that you often drive on the track or for extended periods at high speeds. If you don’t fall into that category, save your money and stick with air in your tires.
As we’ve discussed here, proper tire inflation impacts grip, water evacuation, tire temperature, wear, and fuel mileage, so be safe and heed those warning lights!

Why Auto Consignments is Safer than Selling a Car Yourself
Over the previous two weeks, we have posted two articles that discuss the advantages of consigning your car instead of trading-in at a dealership or selling it yourself. Our first post discussed how Auto Consignments can save sellers time and effort, while our second post outlined how consignment can increase the sales price and speed of sale due to the additional resources and expertise provided.
Below, we explain the two main reasons why vehicle consignment offers sellers more safety, security, and comfort than selling a car yourself.
(1) With Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers are protected from would-be scammers that frequent the sale-by-owner market.
Buyers and sellers expose themselves to meaningful risk of fraud, theft, and scams when dealing with strangers in sale-by-owner transactions. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people are out there praying on unsuspecting victims by arranging test drives only to steal the seller’s car, steal the buyer’s cash, pass a fraudulent check, or fish for information to commit identity theft.
When using Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers can remain anonymous, ensuring both parties transact safely and securely. Specifically, Auto Consignments can handle all details of vehicle transactions, including prior inspection, shipping and handling, test drives, sale paperwork and payment processing.
Auto Consignments will be on the lookout for scam artists and weed out any people looking to commit fraud, so buyer and seller remain protected throughout the sale process.
(2) Using Auto Consignments, buyers and sellers alike avoid uncomfortable dealings with strangers.
With the countless different personalities in the world, buyers and sellers may have conflicting personalities or agendas that make direct interaction on test drives and price negotiations quite uncomfortable.
Auto Consignments is staffed with customer service professionals who can facilitate all aspects of an online sale, Q&A, and price negotiations between both parties, keeping both buyer and seller happy and conflict-free throughout the process.
If you want the most money for your car but don’t want to deal with the hassle and safety concerns associated with the sale-by-owner market, Auto Consignments is a great option for you. For more information on how Auto Consignments can help you sell your vehicle, please visit http://www.autoconsignments.com or call 855-258-0679 (USA and CANADA) or (800) 048-8086 (UNITED KINGDOM).

Sellers Get More Resources and Expertise from Auto Consignment
In a previous blog post, we talked about the challenges of selling a used car and the advantages of choosing Auto Consignments instead of selling yourself or trading-in at a dealership. Specifically, we outlined why consigning your car saves you time and effort.
Below, we discuss how vehicle consignment provides additional resources and expertise that helps car owners get the most money for their cars with the least amount of hassle.
Your Car is Money
So, why exactly does Auto Consignments help car owners sell their cars more quickly and for more money?
(1) Many buyers want an extended warranty with their car purchase.
Let’s say a buyer is interested in your sale-by-owner vehicle but wants some protection against any potential issues with the car down the road. As a private seller, that’s complicated since you can’t make any guarantees.
Auto Consignments offers aftermarket service contracts and can handle this need so you won’t miss good sale opportunities.
(2) Many buyers need to trade-in a car.
If a buyer needs the value from their current vehicle to help them buy your car, you probably don’t want their vehicle in a trade and don’t want the hassle of figuring out how to give them credit for it.
Auto Consignments will facilitate a trade-in and put the risk of re-sale on its shoulders, so that this type of buyer can still buy your car easily.
(3) Buyers don’t need to arrange shipping.
It can be pretty straightforward to sell your car to people who live near you, but what if the buyer is from the other side of the country or other side of the world? How will you help them get the vehicle delivered?
Auto Consignments helps buyers from all over the country maintain their interest in your vehicle and ultimately facilitates getting the deal done, so you don’t have to worry about getting the vehicle delivered by your own means.
Stay tuned for the next articles in this series covering the advantages of Auto Consignments related to improved security. For more information on how Auto Consignments can help you sell your car, please visit http://www.autoconsignments.com or call 855-258-0679 (USA and CANADA) or (800) 048-8086 (UNITED KINGDOM).

Why Consigning Your Car Saves You Time and Effort
Selling a used car can be a daunting task. If you’re like most people, you want the most money for your car, but you don’t have much time on your hands to deal with the hassle of selling it. Make the process easier by choosing Auto Consignments, which offers the best of both worlds: more money than a dealership trade-in and less hassle than selling it yourself.
When selling a used car, private party sales almost always generate more money than selling or trading in to a dealership. Unfortunately, selling a car yourself comes with lots of hassles and obstacles that most people would prefer to avoid.
Auto consignment, a growing trend in the used car market, provides the value of the private market without the traditional hassles associated with sale-by-owner used car market.
There are several key advantages to consigning your car instead of selling it yourself. We have grouped these advantages into three key categories that car owners should keep in mind when considering auto consignment: less time and effort, more resources and expertise, and better security. Below, we outline the advantages of auto consignment related to time and effort.
(1) You’d rather spend your valuable time elsewhere.
Selling a car yourself often requires you to take time off from work, find a safe meeting place, and use your precious free time waiting for a potential buyer to show up. Auto Consignments service, on the other hand, has a brand new system that makes it easy for buyers to view your car.
Consignment services also employ a staff dedicated to handling the unusual schedules of potential buyers so that you can focus on work, enjoy your free time, and be confident that your car is getting maximum exposure to buyers.
(2) You are too busy to manage buyer inquiries.
Our website is open 24/7 to handle any buyer inquiries, which can be frequent and time consuming. Most buyers will have a long list of questions that they’ll want answered before they purchase a car. They may want a mechanic to take a look at it. They may want specific pictures sent to them or warranty information.
A car consignment store is staffed to handle all buyer questions and issues so that you don’t, if you don’t want to. Once a qualified buyer is identified, Auto Consignments sales team will do all the prep work to make sure your car is ready so it will make the best possible impression.
