About Wheel Kinetics.


We aren't like other dealers. For instance, take this ad. We tell you what you need to know to make a vehicle purchase from thousands of miles away. We don't fluff our ads with sales pitches -- we just give the facts.

Wheel Kinetics is an Arizona licensed dealer owned by brothers Roger and Dennis We believe that our feedback speaks for itself -- we strive for the utmost in customer service, are solely interested in our long term business, and will not sacrifice integrity to make a quick buck.

Buying a car on the Internet can be nerve-wracking! We believe that our industry leading worry free guarantee, outstanding feedback, tons of pictures, accurate description, and video should put those nerves at ease. If this is your first time buying a car on online, most of our feedback comes from buyers in your position!

Shipping.


We recommend Beacon Shipping 401.270.3035 - Fred

Fred at Beacon is our recommended broker. For estimates and more shipping information, please click here

We have used Fred for many years, and we use Beacon for our shipping. If you get your own quote and have not shipped a car before, it is not like FedEx. These are brokers, and they put out bids to truckers. Thus, be wary of a low bid -- a low bid from a broker may mean your Ford not getting picked up.

Title Info.


Salvage Title: Formerly stolen and recovered. We purchasedthis vehicle at auction from an insurance company. Please read the Salvage F.A.Q. below about what a salvage title means to you. It's a great opportunity to save big money by buying a prior theft car!

Everything that we know about this vehicle's history is in the ad!

Look at our feedback -- 90% of our sales are theft recovered vehicles!!

Salvage FAQ: Why You SHOULD Own This Salvage Title Ford


You drive the Ford, not the title!

Q: Are all of your cars salvage? Why do you buy them??

A: No! Some are clean title thefts. Others are dealer trade-ins. We clearly state at the top of each ad what it is. We buy theft recoveries because our customers want deals. Five years ago we wanted great deals and discovered theft recoveries, and in the process we convinced ourselves of their value -- the owners and employees drive them! Even Dennis's and Roger's mom drives a 2006 theft recovered Lexus!

Q: What is a salvage title?

A: It's a brand put on a title, almost exclusively by insurance companies, to note when a car has been deemed a "total loss." A total loss occurs when the insurance company pays out the value of the car to its insured. Insurance companies pay out the value of the car to the owner when it is stolen. Therefore, a brand of "salvage" is then placed on the title.

Q: I've heard to not buy salvage title vehicles because they're bad cars and cannot be resold. Is that true?

A: Certainly some are bad. However, with our years of experience, we know the difference between the good cars and bad ones. When we get a bad one, we simply sell it wholesale -- it never makes it to this site. Both Roger and Dennis drive salvage title theft recoveries. Roger loads his children in a salvage title from theft Toyota Matrix daily. We believe in these cars.

As for resale, that's simply a question of price. If you own a salvage title Ferrari for $10,000, you will have no problem selling it. In fact, you'll be able to sell it in 3 minutes on your local street corner. You'll be able to sell the vehicle you buy from us because you will buy it for FAR less than it's clean title, often worse condition, equivalent.

Q: Why is this Ford salvage?

A: Insurance companies must declare a vehicle salvage from an accident when there is a total loss, but they have discretion with theft vehicles. Many insurance companies choose to salvage all thefts, regardless of condition, as a policy to avoid liability; this Ford is such a vehicle.

Q: Was this Ford in a wreck?

A: No! Unless otherwise stated in the ad, professionals have examined this Ford and have concluded it has not been involved in a major, salvage-level accident.

Q: How do I get a loan/insurance on a salvage title vehicle?

A: To be driven on the street, get a loan, and have it insured, a salvage title car must be converted from a salvage branding to "restored salvage." A restored salvage title is issued when the state inspects the car and deems it to be safe and road worthy. We do not anticipate any problem passing an inspection, and we will guarantee that it will pass Arizona inspection. Please note that most lending institutions will not loan on a salvage or restored salvage vehicle. Your best bet is a local credit union. If you need financing, please secure it before making an offer. We do not offer in house financing (yet).

Q: I'd really like to get a loan and/or drive the vehicle home, but you say it's still salvage, so how can I do it without having the title restored?

A: We will be happy to take the vehicle down to motor vehicle for $200 and get the vehicle a restored salvage title. We leave the title salvage in case the buyer would rather do it themselves. Please note however that you cannot drive the salvage title car away: IT MUST BE SHIPPED. If you pay us to restore the title, then it can be driven. It's up to you-- very easy either way!

Q: Can it be driven?

A: Only after the title is converted to a restored salvage title. (please see answer above!) The Ford cannot be driven until the title is restored.

Q: Is this really a good idea?

A: Wheel Kinetics has two cars for business use-- a 06 Acura TL and an 05 Toyota Matrix. Both cars are restored salvage and similar to this SUV in their histories. And both cars have provided years of service without an issue. You can go to the dealer and pay thousands more.... or you can buy our SUV for much less and enjoy the same SUV ! You'll be thrilled with your decision. Look at our feedback and see how many others loved their decision!

Q: What about resale? Won't I get really hurt when I try to resell the Ford because of the salvage title?

A: No! First, the primary measure of a vehicle's value is the known condition. The second is the vehicle's history. The salvage title is the effect of the vehicle's history, not the cause. While the Ford is in good condition, it is substantially discounted because of its history. If it wasn't subsantially discounted, you wouldn't be reading this -- you would have moved on long ago. In other words, the discount for the history and title is already built in to our price. When you sell this Ford, you'll sell it at a similar relative discount to the "clean history" market, and you'll find someone -- often many people -- who, like you, are more interested in saving money and driving a great vehicle than paying more for words on a piece of paper (title). We often hear of our customers making money, or at worst breaking even, after driving their vehicle for a year!

Q: Why doesn't Wheel Kinetics restore the title before sale?

A: Some of our buyers are very experienced with salvage title vehicles, and they can save money by having it inspected on their own. We can restore the title for $200, or you can do it on your own, so long as it is towed from our property and not driven on the street.

Terms. Must read and accept before making an offer.


Winning Bidders: First, if you buy this vehicle, the very first thing you must do is this link to go to our winning bidder page. This page explains all of the post-auction steps and gives all needed information! Please, before doing anything, click this link! You will get access to our custom "MyCar" web system with all of the information, documents, and procedures to get your new car. And even better, the webpage keeps you updated on the transaction status! Additionally, this Ford will remain for sale on our website until your information is entered.

Deposit & Info Required: eBay sales aren't in a bubble as some myopic eBay buyers believe -- we sell our vehicles in a variety of areas, including on our award-winning website. Therefore, even if you 'win' the vehicle on eBay, it will remain for sale until: (1) You enter your information into our website (the link is in the "Winning Bidder" section above) AND (2) You make the $500 deposit (done through our website). That combination stops customers on our website from making offers and is the only way to insure that you are the buyer. To the extent that any portion of this auction/ad conflicts with this section, this section controls.

Contract Rescission: Wheel Kinetics reserves the right, in its sole and absolute descretion, to void the sale at any time and refund all collected money to the Buyer.

eBay Representations Void: The area of the auction from our logo up is controlled by eBay. Much of the information above our logo, including options and features, "auto populates" based on eBay's computers. Those computers are often incorrect. Therefore, you CANNOT RELY on options or features listed by eBay. Only rely on information presented from our logo and below.

Guarantee: We are the only dealership on eBay to not bind you by contract if you decide that you do not like the vehicle in person! You are welcome to take the vehicle AFTER THE SALE to any mechanic, body shop, etc. of your choice within the 1 day and 50 miles! No one else gives this level of customer assurance. However, we will only refund the full price of the vehicle and take the vehicle back -- we will not pay a lesser amount to fix parts. (Ultimately, you either like the buy or you don't)

After-Sale Repairs: We will not reimburse any repairs which are performed prior to our authorization. If you feel there is a problem with your vehicle upon delivery, notify us immediately. We require that any issue be documented by video (easy to do with modern cell phones). You agree that any repair that you make without our prior consent will not be reimbursed and that you will hold Wheel Kinetics harmless for the repairs.

Driving/Description Video: This ad contains a video where we describe the vehicle further and give you close ups of various features and issues to give you, the buyer, an in depth and personal look at the vehicle. By bidding or making an offer, you agree that you have watched the above video, the descriptions in the video are part of this agreement, and you accept the video representations in full.

Snapshot Graphics: The star ratings in the "Snapshot graphics" are not to be relied upon as a true representation of the vehicle's condition. The ratings are highly subjective, thus no bidder can rely on any portion of the graphic for ANY REASON. Instead, please use the written representations under the respective Interior, Exterior, and Mechanics snapshot graphics that describe the condition along with the pictures for bidding.

Payment: $500 NON REFUNDABLE -- unless you inspect in person and opt out of the purchase -- deposit due on acceptance of our offer via credit card through our 256 Bit, SSL EV encrypted website. Full payment is due within 7 days of the auction's end. Paypal, credit cards, or other non-secured funds CANNOT be used for full payment. If either the payment or deposit terms are breached, we may relist and/or void the sale. Certified funds only. (This means no Capital One "blank checks," Ebay funding, or any kind of bank draft as they take weeks to clear.)

Vehicle Pick-up: Your vehicle may be picked up in person by appointment M-F 8am-5pm, PLEASE NO EXCEPTIONS. The hours apply to both in-person pick ups and shipping pick ups. Professional shippers do not need an appointment, they only need to arrive between 8-5. (We're a family-oriented business, and everyone's kids are out of school at 5)

Taxes and Fees, Arizona Residents: Sales tax (8.1%) and $250 doc fee. License and registration are extra.

Taxes and Fees, Non-Arizona Residents Using a Shipping Company: No sales tax or doc fee. The eBay final price is all that is due to us. Your state's license, registration, and other taxes levied by your state are extra.

Taxes and Fees, Non-Arizona (U.S) Residents Taking Delivery in Arizona: Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 42-5061(U), out of state buyers that take delivery in Arizona will pay sales tax according to their home state's tax rate, plus 2.0% for city tax, AND a $250 doc fee. All customers who take delivery in Arizona will receive a voucher showing taxes paid in Arizona to avoid being double charged by their home state. (You will not be taxed twice!) Your state's license and registration are extra. Licensed dealers do not pay sales tax.

Taxes and Fees, Non-U.S Residents Taking Delivery in Arizona: Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 42-5061(U), foreign citizens who take delivery in Arizona are subject to 8.1% state, county, and city sales taxes and $250 doc fee. Licensed dealers do not pay sales tax.

Emissions: We guarantee our vehicles to pass Arizona emissions. However, with 49 other states and 49 other sets of laws, it is impossible to guarantee 50 state compliance.

Inspections: Are allowed by appointment, but with our industry leading WORRY FREE GUARANTEE, pre-sale inspections are largely moot. We do allow and encourage pre-payment Ford dealer inspections, at the buyer's cost.

Bid Retractions (for auction sales): If there is a bid retraction, we reserve the right to void the entire sale, even if the winning bidder did not retract.

Non-Paying Bidders / Liquidated Damages: Unfortunately, many buyers on eBay do not follow through with their contracts and simply play on the computer. When we relist because of a non-paying bidder, that creates doubt in the minds of subsequent bidders as to the vehicle's quality. Additionally, the vehicle is tied up for weeks waiting for a non-existant payment, we lose eBay fees, and and we lose interest. Therefore, to stay in business, we regrettably must include the following, strongly worded terms: If for any reason the bidder/buyer fails to pay in full, we will relist the vehicle. The non-paying winning bidder/buyer owes Wheel Kinetics 8% of the final bid amount plus $130 for the eBay ad. Additionally, the bidder/buyer also owes all court costs, attorney's fees, and costs associated with litigating, obtaining, and/or enforcing a judgment. Please be serious in your bidding!!! We take this very seriously, and we respectfully ask that you do too.

Forum Selection: In the very unlikely event that any dispute were to arise concerning this entire transaction, including dealings through ebay, Arizona law and jurisdiction will exclusively apply, venue Pima county.

As-Is: The car is sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied or any guarantees for any purpose, including the implied warranty of merchantability, unless expressly modified by the terms or descriptions in this auction or by law.

Additional Contract Terms Are Void: When making an offer, eBay allows a buyer/bidder to insert additional contractual terms. Additional contractual terms inserted in an eBay offer by the buyer/bidder are VOID, and seller's acceptance of the offer will be binding in full but without buyer's additional terms. If you would like to discuss terms before offering, please email us first!

Bidding Assumptions: Because these vehicles often sit idle, the battery becomes low and dashboard lights appear. Assume when bidding that every dash light will be on when the vehicle arrives. Also assume that all vehicles do not have a spare or tools, keyless entry, antenna, radio, manuals, or service history unless pictured. We do not test cruise control, please assume that it is inoperative.

Theft Cars: All cars are reasonably inspected, and we think that our feedback speaks to our accurate disclosures. We closely inspect the engine/powertrain of the car and frame, and we typically drive each car many miles to give a great description and deal. If we see any issue, we put it in the ad. However, there may be latent, undiscovered issues in areas outside of engine/powertrain and frame present in recovered theft vehicles, e.g. wiring. This heightened purchasing risk lowers the price and creates a potentially incredible value. The thousands of dollars that you are saving compensates you for potential, though unlikely, undiscovered issues.
