NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! FOR A GREAT, LATE MODEL TRUCK OFFERING. END
PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE A STEAL FOR THIS TRUCK.
VERY IMPORTANT. READ LISTING IN ITS ENTIRETY. I KNOW IT'S LONG,
BUT WANT TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH FULL DISCLOSURE. If
you’re serious about buying, then you’ll appreciate the details.
With
no reserve, it is priced to move quickly in an AS-IS sale.
Here’s a chance to drive a great truck from one of the most
reliable car builders out there for just pennies on the dollar! And one that’s
in exceptionally decent condition overall, considering its age and mileage.
It is a 104,391 mile truck, likely to sell at WELL BELOW the price
of what these normally sell for. Please, read the listing in detail and do not
expect a new truck when you come to pick it up. If you want something in
perfect condition with no wear or tear or maintenance needed, then you will
need to look at the newer and far more expensive $25,000+ offerings. Read the
details below, go through the photos and view the youtube video. There will be
no surprises if you do your due diligence beforehand. As with any As-Is sale,
expect the worst and hope for the best. The price is based on the worst case
scenario, but the vehicle is often not as bad as I tend to over-exaggerate the
issues to ensure there are no surprises.
PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU PLAN TO FOLLOW
THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION. EBAY IS NOT A
GAME. AFTER YEARS OF SUCCESS ON EBAY, TOO MANY FAILED AUCTIONS LATELY AS A
RESULT OF PEOPLE BIDDING WITH NO INTENTION TO PURCHASE. PLEASE SHOW A LITTLE
RESPECT AS IT IS COSTLY FOR SELLERS. PLEASE READ LISTING OF THIS
"AS-IS" SALE. THANK YOU.
BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK MUST MESSAGE
ME OR BIDS MAY BE CANCELED.
NOTE: Initial listing may have a low reserve set. This simply to
allow the "Buy It Now" price to remain for anyone that doesn't want
to wait out the auction. Once the reserve price is met, that option goes away,
thus I include it solely to keep that option available until it reaches a
certain price point. Ebay can be hit and miss. If for some unlikely reason,
there is no real activity on the listing, it may be removed. Otherwise, as long
as there are bids on the vehicle to show that
enough buyers have seen the listing, the reserve price will be
removed a day or two before the listing ends. So place your bids as if there is
no reserve and ignore the notice when it says reserve not met. The truck will
be offered to the highest bidder regardless.
Another great vehicle that will likely sell well below Kelly
blue book value. Looking at the SALE HISTORY, most of these cars are selling in
the $14,000+ range. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION, leaving a chance for the
winning bidder to STEAL this desirable pickup truck for just pennies on the
dollar.
I am not a dealer, however, we do have a towing company and
therefore come across a lot of Lien Sale vehicles. Most that we get are junkers
that we sell at a weekly auction for under $2,000. However, of the cars that
come available, we do cherry pick the nicer cars and offer them publicly. If
you’ve seen any of my past listings, most go out at very low price points, well
below Kelly Blue Book wholesale (trade-in) value. We are more interested in a
quick sale than holding out for a few extra dollars.
Here, we have a late model 2014 Nissan Frontier SV Crew Cab 4x2
with 104,391 miles (well under the national average of 15,000 per year).
See attached window sticker for options / features included on
this truck.
While lien sale vehicles are rarely perfect, and this one isn’t
perfect either, it is certainly well better than average in its appearance,
when considering the age and mileage. Primarily, just typical cosmetic stuff
that's expected after 10 years in a pick-up truck.
At just over 100,000 miles, it's actually a low-mileage truck.
These vehicles from Japanese companies are known for their reliability. Have
seen these things with well over double the mileage still running strong.
This truck, unlike many pickups, does not appear to have been used
as a “work truck”. The tailgate is basically straight. The bed and rear
fenders, aside from some minor dings, scratches and small dents that you have
to look to find, are pretty straight. From 10 feet back, it’s a good looking,
clean black truck.
For 100,000+ miles, the truck is quite clean. Inside is clean with
only typical wear and tear on the seats and surfaces. Just a few scuff marks on
the seats, which might be able to be cleaned out with a good detail. The rest of
the interior is in pretty good shape with no apparent excess wear.
Carfax report is clean. It is shown as a 3-owner truck. No
reported accidents. Clean title history. The truck was first sold in
California. The first owner put 64,000 miles on it. The second owner purchased
it, apparently moved it to Utah, in 2021 then sold it just 10 months later with
less than 200 miles added to the odometer. Appears this was likely an auction
sale by a dealer and bought by a dealer. The third owner (2nd to actually
purchase the truck to use it) bought it in 2022 and brought it right back to
California. So, it's been in a favorable warm weather climate nearly its entire
life. This owner added the remaining 40,000 miles, certainly getting good use
out of it at 20,000 miles per year over the past two years.
Per its Carfax history report (available upon request), It has
good consistent maintenance history through 2023 when we acquired the car via
Lien Sale. Per the Carfax report, the last service was completed at 101,667
miles, less than 2,000 miles ago.
With lien sales, we do have to hang onto cars for approximately
1-2 years before they clear all liens and are available to be sold. The Carfax
report reflects that the car was last serviced in 08/2023.
The only warning light on in the gauge cluster is the air bag
light. Relatively common error. With no accidents, it's likely a sensor error
that can be cheaply fixed. But, we have not had it checked, therefore I can't
offer any guarantee as to the exact reason for it being on, hence this being an
"AS-IS" sale. Aside from this, no other error codes. Carfax reports
that it passed CA smog one year ago. Truck runs and drives great.
The biggest flaw with this truck is that some of the upward facing
areas (hood / roof) have excessively faded paint. Other than those areas, the
black paint still has a reasonable glossy shine to it.
The truck fires right up, Idles, runs and drives well.
As with any of our lien sale cars, we do HIGHLY recommend that the
new owner take them in for service as most have been sitting for a while (this
one cleared quicker than many do though, so it sat only for about 9 or 10
months waiting to clear liens. This one was last in for service in 2023,
per the Carfax report.
The front seats have seat covers on them. Didn't want to pull them
off, but put my hand under them and didn't feel any tears or wear spots.
Possibly, the seat covers have been on for a while and the front seats are in
good shape? The rear seat scuff marks, along with a couple of marks on the
driver door panel may be something on them, rather than wear. Possible they
will clean off with a good detail? Beyond that however, the rest of
the interior is overall, reasonably clean. No excess wear on any of the touch
points. Clean dash with no cracks.
Wheels are in great shape. No curb rash.
NOTABLE PROBLEMS OR AREAS THAT NEED ATTENTION, AS DETERMINED BY
THE SELLERS PERSONAL WALK-AROUND AND TEST DRIVE OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDE, BUT MAY
NOT BE LIMITED TO:
I've done my very best to disclose everything I can identify. If I
missed something in the list above, it's likely visible in the photos and/or
video. Please, read the entire listing and view the photos and video in detail.
More simply put, it's a 10 year old truck with 100,000+ miles that has typical
wear and tear expected for a truck of this age and mileage.
It's a good running and driving truck and most would simply buy it
and just drive it. For someone that wants something really nice, this will
likely sell at a greatly discounted price, could simply do a little body work
and paint the exterior and this truck would look great. Beyond that, determine
what the air bag light warning is on for, replace the tires and do typical
maintenance on it and it should be a great truck for many years and miles to
come.
Having viewed many of these trucks, for the mileage, this is one
of better looking ones. It’s in better shape than I see many of them in, but is
certainly not perfect. As noted, it's not a "NEW" truck. It has some
small bumps and bruises, but nothing out of the ordinary. Great truck for
someone at a likely reduced price point compared to what most of these trucks
sell for. It appears that most of the issues are just cosmetic or
typical wear / maintenance items.
Mechanically, it “appears” to be in good shape based on the way it
runs and drives.
The only pressing issue is that the tires need to be
replaced.
PRICE REFLECTS IT BEING SOLD IN AS-IS CONDITION. SELLER OFFERS NO
WRITTEN, EXPRESSED NOR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR GUARANTEES. BUYER ACCEPTS THIS BY
CHOOSING TO BID ON THE VEHICLE. AS NOTED, IT IS A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 104,000+
MILES. AS WITH ANY VEHICLE OF THIS AGE / MILEAGE, IT’S LIKELY TO NEED SOME
GENERAL REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.
As with all of our lien sales, the cars are sold As-Is. I’ve done
a walk around and inspection of the vehicle and noted any areas in need of
attention that are visible. This one, doesn’t appear to need much at all
mechanically, with most items noted being cosmetic items. However, the seller
offers no written, expressed nor implied guarantees or warranty of any kind. I
am not a dealer and therefore do not have a pre-certified inspection process. I
view the truck just as any buyer would when we acquire them.
The vehicle is likely to sell WELL BELOW what many sell for. The
discounted price is the benefit to the buyer. The seller will not contribute
towards any cost of repairs, maintenance or repairs it may need. The
significantly reduced price it sells at as a result of NO RESERVE auction is
the seller’s ONLY contribution to the buyer, noting that it’s likely to sell at
well below market value price. With no reserve, it
is priced to move quickly in an AS-IS sale.
I’ve included several high-resolution photos to show its condition
as well as a link to a full walk-around and startup video.
BUYER AGREES TO HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THE SELLERS DISCLOSURES
NOTED ABOVE REGARDING THE KNOWN ITEMS THAT CURRENTLY NEED ATTENTION. WHILE NOT
APPARENT TO THE SELLER, THE BUYER ACCEPTS THAT THERE COULD BE OTHER ISSUES IN
NEED OF ATTENTION. THE SELLER HAS NOTED ANY ITEMS THAT WERE ABLE TO BE
DETERMINED VIA A WALK-AROUND AND TEST DRIVE OF THE VEHICLE.
THE BUYER ACCEPTS FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION
AND TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VEHICLE UPON TAKING POSSESSION. BUYER
FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A 10 YEAR
OLD VEHICLE WITH OVER 104,000 MILES. IT
RUNS AND DRIVES WELL, AND APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION MECHANICALLY. HOWEVER, IT IS
NOT A NEW CAR. AS IS TYPICAL OF ANY VEHICLE, IT WILL NEED MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS OVER TIME. TYPICAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF
TYPICAL MAINTENANCE, WHICH THE BUYER ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO AND ACCEPTS
THE VEHICLE IN ITS FULLY AS-IS CONDITION BY COMPLETING THE PURCHASE OF THE
VEHICLE.
AS NOTED, IT PASSED SMOG IN 04/2023. AS IT APPEARS TO BE 100%
STOCK, WITH AS SMOOTHLY AS IT RUNS, IT APPEARS THAT IT WOULD PASS SMOG AGAIN,
NOTING THERE ARE NO MECHANICALLY RELATED WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES
DISPLAYED. THE SELLER HOWEVER, OFFERS NO SUCH GUARANTEE.
AS IT SAT FOR NEARLY A YEAR, REGISTRATION HASN'T BEEN UPDATED
RECENTLY. LIKELY WILL NEED A YEAR OR TWO CAUGHT UP, ONLY IF SOLD TO A
CALIFORNIA BUYER. IF SOLD TO AN OUT OF STATE BUYER, BACK REGISTRATION FEES FOR
CALIFORNIA ARE NOT DUE.
AS PART OF THE AS-IS SALE AT A NOTABLY REDUCED PRICE FROM ITS
TRUE MARKET VALUE, THE BUYER TAKES ON FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE
SMOGGED AND ANY OTHER NECESSARY INSPECTIONS AND/OR FEES REQUIRED TO REGISTER
AND TITLE THE VEHICLE.
I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THE VEHICLE VIA A LIEN SALE. VEHICLE IS NOW
FREE AND CLEAR WITH ALL LOANS / LIENS PAID OFF. As part of the as-is sale,
seller will provide the buyer with all paperwork necessary to register and
title the vehicle, including documentation that all liens have been satisfied.
As with any used vehicle purchase, buyer is responsible for all costs
associated with getting the vehicle smogged and registering the vehicle into
their own name. All loans / liens are already paid off. If sold to a California
buyer, happy to go with you to my local DMV to ensure an easy transaction as
I've sold several of these over the past few months. CHECK MY EBAY FEEDBACK.
VERY EASY PROCESS. HAVE HAD VERY HAPPY BUYERS AS I DO ALL I CAN TO DISCLOSE ANYTHING
AND EVERYTHING IN AN EFFORT TO UNDER-PROMISE AND OVER-DELIVER. I ALSO DO
EVERYTHING I CAN TO ASSIST IN MAKING THIS A SMOOTH AND EASY TRANSACTION. I AM
FLEXIBLE AND WILL WORK WITH THE BUYER IF DEADLINES CAN'T BE MET PRECISELY, AS
LONG AS THE BUYER COMMUNICATES OPENLY WITH ME.
I CAN ASSURE THAT CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS HAVE NO ISSUES WITH LIEN
SALE PURCHASES BY THE PUBLIC, HAVING SOLD VEHICLES TO BUYERS IN BOTH STATES AND
NEVER HAVING HAD A PROBLEM. SIMPLY DUE TO LACK OF EXPERIENCE SINCE I HAVEN’T
SOLD TO BUYERS FROM OTHER STATES, I CANNOT ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE WHAT THEIR
PROCESSES ARE. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM TEXAS OR CALIFORNIA, I WOULD RECOMMEND
CHECKING WITH YOUR LOCAL DMV TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH LIEN SALE
PURCHASES. WOULDN’T IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULD, BUT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE BUYER TO BE SURE. THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD BE THAT THEY MAY REQUIRE
THE CAR BEING REGISTERED / TITLED IN CALIFORNIA FIRST, THEN TRANSFERRED TO YOUR
STATE. THAT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY AS MOST STATES HAVE SIMILAR RULES.
VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN TITLE HISTORY, CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE WILL BE
ISSUED. NO ACCIDENT HISTORY REPORTED THROUGH CARFAX.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THE VEHICLE AND/OR MAKING
ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO YOUR LOCATION. BUYER IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PICKING UP THE TRUCK OR HAVING IT
SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO THE BUYER'S LOCATION.
THIS IS AN AS-IS LISTING OF A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE
WITH 104,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO RUN AND DRIVE WELL,
IT IS FULLY DISCLOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRED THROUGH A LIEN SALE
TRANSACTION. WHILE THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE A PRIVATE PARTY SALE, THE SELLER
HAS NOT HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC TO DETERMINE ANY ISSUES BEYOND WHAT
ARE READILY NOTABLE THROUGH A WALK-AROUND AND TEST DRIVE OF THE VEHICLE.
IT IS AN "AS-IS" SALE. THIS IS THE PRIMARY REASON WHY IT
IS BEING SOLD IN A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND
WILL LIKELY SELL AT WELL BELOW MARKET VALUE. THE
LOW PRICE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT IT'S NOT PERFECT, NEEDS SOME CURRENT REPAIRS
AND COULD NEED SOME FURTHER REPAIRS NOT YET DISCOVERED. AGAIN, THE SELLER HAS
DISCLOSED ANY KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. BASED ON MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION,
IT DOESN’T APPEAR TO NEED MUCH, ESPECIALLY MECHANICALLY, BUT I AM IN NO WAY, A
PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC QUALIFIED TO OFFER AN OPINION BEYOND JUST A PERSONAL
OPINION.
BUYER ACCEPTS FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS THE
VEHICLE MAY NEED. THE SELLER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER KNOWN ISSUES. AGAIN,
THE VERY LOW PRICE IT WILL SELL AT, TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THIS IS
A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT COULD BE IN NEED OF MAINTENANCE AND
POSSIBLY SOME REPAIRS.
VEHICLE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY SELL FAR LOWER THAN WHAT OTHER
SIMILAR TRUCKS ARE SELLING FOR. THAT HUGE PRICE REDUCTION IS THE SELLER’S ONLY
ASSISTANCE TOWARD MAINTENANCE OR MAKING ANY REPAIRS NECESSARY. THE SELLER WILL
NOT CONTRIBUTE TOWARD ANY REPAIRS ONCE THE SALE IS FINAL, REGARDLESS IF
ADDITIONAL ITEMS ARE DISCOVERED.
