Who
Is Repo Joe?
After nearly two decades
in the car business, "Repo" Joe had bought, traded and
sold every kind of car imaginable. Yet he noticed there were always
two
types of vehicles that were far and away the best bargains: vehicles
that had been repossessed and sold at special dealer sales and vehicles
that had been leased. The problem was, they were often hard, if not
impossible,
to find.
In 1998, Joe decided to utilize the relationships and contacts he
had made with repo men, banks, credit unions and auto sales over the
past twenty years to help build a team of experts to travel the nation
and help dealers find these vehicles and make them available to customers. Repo
Joe and his team serve as liaisons during these events. They are
paid
no commissions and under no pressure to sell you a vehicle.

How
Does A Repossessed Vehicle Save Me Money?
There are several reasons
why the Repo Joe Sale allows you to save money on a vehicle. For one,
new cars and trucks depreciate thousands of dollars the minute you
drive it off the lot. These vehicles have that depreciation taken from
the selling price on top of the fact that a portion of each vehicle
has already been paid for.
Additionally, Repo Joe and his team take no profit from the sale of
these vehicles. They are paid a small flat fee by the disposal point.
Again, these savings are passed right on to the buyer.

I've
Seen Other Repo Sales In My Area. What Makes This One Different?
The Repo Joe Sale was the
original traveling repo event.
Unlike the increasingly numerous imitations, the Repo Joe Sale is
regulated to meet certain standards. The event administrators require
participating
dealers to meet strict guidelines concerning inventory quantity, pricing
and marketing.

What
Kind Of Cars Are Available?
As
you might expect, many of the vehicles that are repossessed are among
the most popular in the country. While Repo Joe can't guarantee he'll
have dozens of Honda Accords, Ford Explorers and Toyota Camrys at every
disposal point, it stands to reason that since there are more of these
sold new, there are a lot of them that come Joe's way.
The
best way to see what Joe may have that fits your particular needs is
to let him know what you're looking for. Click on the left on the city
nearest you and use the Find A Car link. If your vehicle is available,
Repo Joe & the disposal point will contact you with the details
( price, etc. )

Do
I Have To Buy A Vehicle If I Use The "Find A Car" Search
Function?
Absolutely
not. Repojoe.com's Find A Car function is designed
to let you know if a specific vehicle that you desire is available
at the sale site in your area. This service is free and there is no
obligation to buy any vehicle if and when you use it.

Am
I Obligated To Sell My Car If I'm Given A Quote?
Again,
not at all. Our Sell Your Car function is designed
to let you inquire about the value of your current vehicle with no
obligation to sell it when you are made an offer.

Why
Doesn't The "Find A Car" Search Form Instantly Pull Up A
List Of Inventory?
Repo
Joe and his team travel from coast-to-coast conducting these events
at various locations each week. The typical sale usually lasts no more
than two or three days. Integrating with the numerous dealerships'
inventory control software and databases for such short periods of
time is cost-prohibitive, and in some cases, simply not possible.
However,
all Repo Joe Sale dealers assign an internet manager to administer
the Find A Car search function of this site.
All inquiries are handled quickly and efficiently so that you can
know
the inventory situation before you arrive at the sale site.

How
Can Repo Joe Be In So Many Places At The Same Time?
He's
magic! Okay, not really. As we've been mentioning, Repo Joe has a
staff
of automotive professionals that he has personally trained to host
the events occurring simultaneously across the country. The Repo Joe
Sale has become high in demand with both customers and dealers
alike. When it became apparent he could no longer attend every event,
he made sure only the best and most professional automotive veterans
would be used to represent him and his sale.

My
Car Was Repossessed. Can Repo Joe Help Me Find It?
Unfortunately,
probably not. Even if your vehicle is offered for sale at a Repo Joe
event, you'll need to contact the lender that invoked the repossession
order.
