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….

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
