2009 Acura Tl Sh-awd Sedan 4-door 3.7l "no Reserve" on 2040-cars

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.

- 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….
