FAQ
FAQ What is a repo car?
A repo car (short for repossessed) is one that the lender repossessed after the borrower fell behind on the auto loan. The lienholder (usually a bank, credit union, or finance company) sends the vehicle to auction to recover what’s still owed on the note. Most of the inventory below comes from charge-off pools at U.S. banks and credit unions, the same source feeding Manheim’s repo lanes and Copart’s Buy It Now sales.
Are repo cars a good deal?
Often, yes – bank repossessions tend to sell 15–30% under KBB private-party value because the lender wants the loan balance paid off, not the highest possible price. The catch is that bidding closes fast, so the real discount lives in pre-sale research, not last-minute bidding wars. A clean title, recent service records, and the original owner’s mileage transfer with the vehicle, which is why repo lots move quicker at any given price than cars for auction sitting at the same number.
Do I need a dealer license to buy repo cars?
No. Repossessed vehicles on A Better Bid are open to public bidders – no dealer license, resale certificate, or business EIN required. Registration is free, takes about two minutes, and unlocks bidding on every repo lot in the active catalog. Wholesale-only platforms like Manheim or ADESA gate this kind of inventory behind dealer credentials; we don’t.
What is the difference between repo and salvage cars?
Two completely different stories on the title. A repossessed car has a clean title. The bank took it back over missed payments, and the vehicle itself is typically undamaged. A salvage car carries a branded title (Salvage, Rebuilt, Junk, or state equivalent). An insurer wrote it off after a collision, flood, hailstorm, or theft recovery. Quick rule: repo equals financial history, salvage cars equals physical history. You can verify exactly which one you’re looking at by pulling the NMVTIS title report from the lot page before placing a bid.
How do I bid on a repossessed car?
Five-step path on A Better Bid. First, register a free account. Enter your name, email, phone; no documents required. Second, browse the listings below, filter by location or make, and open the lots that fit your budget. Third, place a proxy bid (the system bids for you up to your max). Alternatively, join the live auction lane on the scheduled sale day. Fourth, if you win, pay the hammer price plus the buyer fee within the deadline shown on the invoice. Fifth, pick up the vehicle from the storage yard or book shipping. Most buyers go from registration to pickup in 7–10 days. New to auctions?
