Through Auto Auction Reps, Charles Payne is living the dream. A self-professed auto enthusiast, Charles is the company’s principal buyer and a “car nut” since age 15. By age 20, he had purchased and subsequently sold 20 used vehicles. A motivated self-starter, Charles also enjoyed rebuilding jeeps as a young man, a pastime that gave him great insight into the mechanics of automobiles. Insight he leverages today to better evaluate the condition of used vehicles.
In recent years, Charles has served as an in-house car buyer for an auto group based in the Southeast. He thrived in this role and found he had a knack for purchasing vehicles that turned quickly and increased the dealership’s average profit per vehicle. Motivated by this success, he decided to start his own business and contract his services to multiple dealerships. For well over a year, Charles has done just that and has begun to carve a niche for his company through honesty, integrity and an innovative new business model.
Charles and his associates at Auto Auction Reps do not go to auctions just to fill a dealership’s order. They only buy vehicles that require minimal reconditioning and that are going to sell for the dealership with which they’re partnered. Equally important, Auto Auction Reps secures these vehicles at prices that leave room for profit.
We work hard to understand what types of vehicles are selling for every dealership we represent. We are immersed in the auto auction world and understand the fine pricing variances that influence a profitable purchase. We do our research before each auction, target vehicles on pre-sale lists and follow that up with physical inspections. As a result, we’re armed with all the insight to make a qualified purchase decision within a three to five minute window.
Auto Auction Reps represents a new breed of car buyer. We don’t run up travel expense or take valuable employees off of your lot. Nor do we try to maximize our profits like traditional wholesalers. We simply operate in your best interest, and consistently perform in a manner that improves the image and profitability of partner dealerships.
