NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Auto Yard Shop & Consignment offers their customers some excellent benefits. In fact, I feel that they go far above and beyond what the majority of consignment services offer to online buyers.
I feel they are able to do this, because everyone is on the same page (from management to sales) and they understand that customer service and convenience is what it's all about. They also understand that online shopping will increase significantly and the markets are moving online. They've put together a system that covers every possible scenario of a safe transaction.
Well, that's enough of my rambling, let's take a look at some of their great benefits and you can decide for yourself before we move on to the profits section...
Auto Yard Shop & Consignment - the largest consignment service of used vehicles in the country. |
7 Great Benefits of Auto Yard Shop & Consignment
1. No Haggle Pricing
This is a great benefit if you are the type that hates to haggle and negotiate for hours. There are certainly some pitfalls to this as well and we'll cover those more in depth in our next section.
2. Huge Inventory
With 4 locations nationwide selling almost any type of vehicle, you'd be hard pressed to not find something that meets your needs. They will ship vehicles at your home (for free).
If they are not the largest used car dealer, then they are pretty darn close. When it comes to inventory, they are truly a one stop shop.
3. Fixed Commissions
With fixed sales persons commissions, you won't run into the pushy sales person trying to "switch" you to a vehicle you don't want simply because there is the potential for a larger commission for the salesman.
If you typically don't like working with car salesmen then this is a huge benefit to their program.
In addition, you will only work with one or two person throughout the entire process. That's a huge benefit if you don't like the typical routine of working with a salesman, sales manager (closer) and then into meet with a Finance Manager.
4. 63+ Point Inspections
You can certainly buy your car with confidence knowing that it's been through a rigorous 63+ point inspection.
They also check for frame damage, flood damage and salvage titles. In fact, they offer a clean title guarantee.
They will buy the vehicle back from you if it's ever discovered that the vehicle you purchased had odometer discrepancies, flood or salvage title prior to the sale.
From what I can tell, they have a very thorough inspection and reconditioning process.
I would have to agree based on what I've seen.
5. Free Full Vehicle History Report
Auto Yard Shop & Consignment takes a lot of pride, as they should, in the vehicles that they sell. They want customers to know that the vehicle they are buying is top notch. They not only put them through a great inspection and reconditioning process, but are checking the history of the vehicle for free. They share reports for free at the time of delivery.
6. 7-Day Money Back Guarantee
A money back guarantee is, in my opinion, one of the strongest guarantees a company can offer.Their money back guarantee practically eliminates buyers remorse, which if you've ever experienced this, can lead to a somewhat devastating car buying experience.
This is especially true if you're locked into a 5, 6 or even a 7 year finance contract.
Big thumbs up here.
7. Financial Security
If you've either experienced it first hand, or know of someone that has, buying a vehicle online can be a complete nightmare. The payment system they offer, simple but extremely secure, is another big plus and must for Auto Yard Shop & Consignment.
Who Benefits Buying From Auto Yard Shop & Consignment
All in all, Auto Yard Shop & Consignment offers a great vehicle buying service to their customers. If the benefits above were appealing to you and you are willing to potentially pay more for their excellent service and one on one vehicle buying/sales process, then you'll probably have a very pleasant buying experience.
Just know that their "No Haggle" pricing does not equal "Bargain Basement" pricing and in my opinion they do charge more than your average dealership. This leads us into our next section...How they profit and how much they may profit.
