The vehicle being offered is super clean and neat and has no known issues. It has just been traded in on another new vehicle and drives as good as it looks. We do not sell junk! Please take a look at our eBay Feedback since 2002. We describe what we sell and we strive to make people happy with there purchase.

This is a wholesale to the public NO RESERVE auction. Most dealers that trade for vehicles go through a program where the vehicle is directed through the service department before it ever is on the lot for sale. The service department normally does a full check, sometimes called a 100-point check. There are also other terms like Certified Pre-Owned and many more. During the service department visit, the service writer and the staff of technicians work very hard to find things wrong and make repairs or jobs that are not always necessary.  When this happens the typical Pre-owned vehicle can be charged $2,000-$5,000 for the service performed by these departments. There are also other charges that incur at 99% of all dealerships around the country.


List of examples that will make a vehicles price continue to go up before you ever touch or see the vehicle on a dealership lot.

- “PDR” Paintless dent repair. The average vehicle will have a few dings and the repair will be made before the vehicle is sold again.

- Window Chip, a window chip expert will make a repair and charge the dealer.

- Chip & Scratch, another person will charge the dealer for any minor chip or scratch repair.

- Interior repair, if there is a scratch or a burn or tear, these items will be fixed and repaired.

- Pinstripe, a simple pinstripe will be added and the dealer will pay to enhance the outside.

- Detail, a complete detail will be performed and charged to the vehicle.

- Dealer Pack, this is a set price that the dealer adds to every pre-owned vehicle on the lot. Most dealers will add $500-$1,500. This means the sales dept nor the sales person gets paid until after this pack has been added. The pack charge is designed to take care of the floorpalan (bank dealer interest) and insurance to inventory these vehicles. It basically protects the dealer from any loss of income while the vehicle sits there waiting to be sold.

- Certified Charge, GM, Ford, Chrysler and the rest of the manufactures offer a Certified program. The program offers dealers to sell these vehicles with extra warranty or special finance rates. These programs do nothing to the vehicle as far as making them any better condition. This is just another charge added to the vehicle to enhance specials to lure customers towards the product.

 

Basically what I am trying to say, the vehicle being offered has not been charged with thousands of extra dollars. What you see is what you get…. If the vehicle has a ding, scratch, or anything else, you the consumer can act as a dealer and decide if you want to make the repair or drive the vehicle as it looks.  This is what wholesale truly is about... Wholesale is normally between two dealers. One dealer can sell to another dealer and they do not charge anything extra to each other. Several people have asked me for years to sell them a vehicle in this condition to avoid adding thousands of extra dollars. Just recently, we have decided to make this a regular part of the business here at Rods & Rides By TD, LLC.

 

Wholesale to the public…

 

With that being said, I will answer a few other normal questions that seem to come up during every sale.

 

- Do you know if something has been performed on this vehicle? No, it was traded in and the customers do not provide this information nor would I want to take their word and pass it on. In the event it wasn’t preformed, I become the liar. I would rather tell you I honestly cant answer that.

 

- Do you have a CarFax? No, a simple punch of the button on this listing will provide you a detailed history report and also give you a insurance policy to guarantee the accuracy of the report with a money back guarantee.  I would suggest this to everyone purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.

 

- Do I ship vehicles? Yes, we handle the logistics for vehicles being shipped through out the entire world. If you would like a quote, please let me know. The cost of shipping is always at the buyer’s expense.

 

- Will you pick me up at the airport? Yes, we are located within minutes of the St. Louis International airport. (Call Letters STL)  I will be happy to pick anyone up before the auction ends or after.

 

- Can I have the vehicle looked at by a third party inspector? Yes, we encourage any inspections prior to auction end. After the sale is not the time to have a vehicle inspected.

 

- Do you offer financing? No, we do not have the facility or the resources to offer any financing.

 

- Do you accept major credit cards? Yes, we accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Cash, and Certified Bank Checks.

 

- Can you hold the vehicle for a month? Yes, we can hold the vehicle for an extended time but it will need to be paid in full within 7 days. If you prefer the vehicle to continue to be kept inside please ask about a possible charge for this service.

 

- Do you have a clean and clear title in hand? Yes, we cannot sell a vehicle without a title. We are a licensed Missouri vehicle dealer and are required to have the title in hand to sell the vehicle.  We do not sell Salvage, Rebuilt, Flood or any other type of vehicles branded….

Celebrate Volvo's 89th birthday with some neat facts

Thu, Apr 14 2016

Volvo, arguably Sweden's best-known non-ABBA export, will celebrate the big 9-0 next year. The company has always operated somewhat under the radar, but it has its share of stories to tell despite an image formed by decades of solid, safe, and sensible cars. To celebrate the occasion, here are five lesser-known facts about Sweden's last remaining car brand. 1. It opened North America's first foreign car plant. Idyllic Halifax was a small fishing city of about a quarter-million in the early 1960s when Volvo arrived and became the first import brand to build cars en masse in North America. American consumers on the East Coast developed a fondness for the Volvo Amazon line in the late 1950s, leading Volvo to seek out a plant in the Americas. Halifax ponied up incentives, allowing Volvo to take advantage of a pact eliminating tariffs on cars built and exported between the United States and Canada. Volvo built cars there until the end of 1998, when it said its facility was no longer viable compared to larger factories in Europe. That brings us to The Netherlands, where Volvo bought a quirky, innovative automaker that once sold a car called the Daffodil (which was actually its luxury model). 2. You can thank Volvo for CVTs – even though it doesn't use them. Volvo wasn't interested in picking flowers. It wanted the automotive arm of truck manufacturer DAF, which would include its assembly plant, its Renault engines, and the first mainstream application of the CVT gearbox. Volvo acquired DAF's car business over the course of a few years in the early 1970s and, in typical Volvo safety-oriented style, it slapped big bumpers and head restraints on the little DAF 66 and rebadged it as the Volvo 66. The Dutch assembly plant would grow to include a partnership with Mitsubishi in the early '90s. Today, it operates as NedCar and builds Mini Coopers for BMW. Volvo is no longer involved in NedCar or DAF (which sold its CVT division to Bosch, by the way), but its acquisition of DAF helped ensure the success of CVTs. Ironically, even though Volvo's investment helped make CVTs mainstream, the Swedish automaker's affair with them was brief, and today it utilizes only conventional automatics. 3. The Swedish carmakers were pals. Over its 89 years, Volvo has been closely connected to a number of automakers – most notably Ford, which ran the company for a decade, and its current owner Geely. But Volvo is most closely linked to its longtime competitor, Saab.

Volvo to unveil permanent high-beam headlamp technology [w/video]

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Volvo will be showing off its Active High Beam technology at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The system will allow drivers to use their high beams all the time and adds another responsibility to the cameras mounted by the rearview mirror, making them detect traffic ahead, whether it be another car or a truck or motorcycle and in the same lane or oncoming. When a vehicle is detected, a special projector in the Xenon lamps can block out only the portion of the high beam that would impair the other driver. Volvo says the system is accurate down to a 1.5-inch margin around another object.
Active High Beam will be fitted to the Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 and we have to assume they mean the non-US versions of those cars. Audi has a similar technology that it calls "matrix beam lighting," and due to the way the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard code is written, such active control of high beams is verboten on cars sold here.
The Swedish brand also plans to present a collision-avoidance technology it's calling a "world-first." The press release below has more information and the accompanying video demonstrates the lighting tech.
