INTERSTATE AUTO AUCTION COMPLAINTS AND REVIEWS

Interstate Auto Auction sells more cars than just about any other public Auction around!  Nearly 60,000 in just 10 years is incredible and we have had many different reviews over the years. 

Here is a 4 star review from Yelp  by Prabin out of Newton MA 

have been buying cars from here for about 3-4 years now and this place has definitely changed for the better. This place used to be a place where dealers would come and dump their crappiest car. The employees working here used to be some of the nastiest human beings on earth, and the worst of them all was the CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, so yeah, what do you expect. I also believe that the way they were doing business has gotten them in a sh*t load of trouble, because I know that the Customer Service Manager is fired, some of the employees have been replaced and ALL of them are a HECK of a lot NICER than they used to be. Oh my god, its like they are humans again, like they suddenly have manners again and are polite and helpful again. Wow, how did this happen!!!




Now, that being said, don't forget this is an Auto Auction. There are two categories of vehicles that are available to purchase, RED and GREEN light vehicles. I have never purchased a RED light vehicle here so I cant say anything about them, but even if you are purchasing a GREEN light vehicle, Keep around $500 in reserve for repairs towards the car you are purchasing, Make sure you go upto the vehicle and walk around the vehicle and check for body damage, do a quick visual inspection of the inside of the vehicle, Check for any warning lights that might be on on the dash, Check Engine or Service Engine Soon, ABS, AIRBAG, are some very important lights and repairs could be costly. I would always keep a reserve $$ for repairs.



Also understand that this is an auction, not a used car dealership. There are many cars that go through the lanes, and unlike a dealership, here at the auction, its you the buyer who inspects the vehicle. Dealers that are selling vehicles here will bring cr*pping cars and will try to pass them to you, the reason is simple, if you buy a vehicle from a dealership that vehicle has to pass inspection or you have full right to receive your money back, but not when you buy at auction. Therefore, your personal inspection is VERY IMPORTANT, you could end up with a great car but you could also end up with a lemon and if youre not careful, you will be stuck with it.



Auctions are fun, fun to participate, prices are lower but as a buyer be very careful because at auctions, you are also taking a risk. Like I said, if you are careful, you can end up with a gem at a very good price, or if you are careless, you can end up with a very expensive lemon. Auctions are not for everyone, this is not a place where you simply sit down and raise your hand to bid, there is a lot more to do at the auction than that. If you are not mechanically inclined, I would strongly advise you to stay away from any Auction and just goto a Used Car Dealership. At least you will have some warranty and the vehicle must pass inspection. Used Car Dealers have a lot of obligations towards its customers, Auctions have pretty much none.



With that, I hope you all make the right choice. Good luck on your next vehicle purchase.

Whats Does Green Light Mean?

Many people often don't give much thought to what the Auction Lighting System means.  It's common for us just to assume

1.  Green = Perfect No issues
2.  Yellow = Issues
3.  Red = Bad Car

The reality is we are wrong in our assumptions and more often then not many Auctions throughout the industry have different interpretations to the what each light indicates.

At our Auction Red Light Means "AS IS".  We do not have many Red light cars.  This is do to the fact that these cars do generally need a new motor or transmission.  However, many of these cars are donated charity cars and MAY possible be fine.  It's a sad reality that when cars are donated it could be do to the fact that a person just wants to junk the car and it is not good or even sadder if a family member has passed away and the family does not want to deal with the hardship of selling a car for many reasons.  So they donate it.  The good part is the money you pay for the car goes to a charity on the families behalf and you get a super bargin,  The most important thing on a Red Light Cars is to test drive these cars before you buy them and don't be surprised if you do need to do a a motor replacement.  If you think It's not going to heppen to me think twice with Red Light Cars.  That is why they are red light.  If you are a Mechanic then you are allset.

Yellow Light Cars people assume have caution issues.  This can be true and false.  For example, at our Auction we turn on a Yellow Light if the car is a 5 Speed.  The car in reality is a Green Light, but Yellow Light is an annoucment that refers to the fact it is a 5 speed manual shift.  So there is nothing cautionary about the car, but a Yellow light is on for people to know it's not a automatic.  Yellow Light could also be on if it has issues as well.  For example,  a Yellow light can indicate TMU which is known as True milage unknown which means the mileage on the car does not match up with the title the Auction recieved from the owner.  So always listen to what the Auctioneer is saying and be smart because Yellow Light can mean something good or something not so good.

Finally Green Light.  This might be the most interesting interpretation we have incountered.  Green Light Simply Means the Motor or Transmission will not fail to work at our Auction.  In other words it won't need to be compltey replaced.  That's it; sounds simple right?  But many people assume Green Light Means many other things that are not true.  That the cars are perfect and need no work what so ever.  Other people think the car needs a little light work like a light bulb or a new tire, but does not need practically antyhing.  And of course there are others that assume the car is gauaranteed to pass inspection.  These could not be further from reality.  The reality is that when you buy a Green Light Car yet a running car that needs $300- $1000 worth of work on average.

At just about any Auction you have a period of time, usually 1 hour to report a motor or transmission failure and all other compontents of the car are your responsibility.  Luckily our Auction lets you test drive the cars before the Auction and give you 2 days after the Auction to report a motor or transmission failure.  It's an Indutry First.

Auctions are not for everyone, but the people that understand, plan and do there homework always come out on top and save thousands of dollars. 

2007 Maserati Quattroporte

2007 Maserati Quattroporte For Auction April 10th!

 

This magnificent automatic V8 4.2 Maserati Quattroporte blew me away without even trying, and yes, it probably has the same effect on every vehicle it passes. To say it's beyond impressive is not an exagerration and the SUPER LOW 36,178 miles, new brakes and rotors make it even more desirable! The ultra metallic hematite grey body is in superb condition, (you can bet this swanky sedan doesn't need a bright flashy color to get noticed). The black leather interior is sumptuously soft, seductively inviting and luxurious, with heated seats to embrace you with warmth when it's cold and damp. The mahogany wood tone steering wheel, shifter, console and accents accentuate the exotic aura of this exclusive import. The sunroof gives you the sun by day and the stars by night and navigation gets you where you want to go. Good tires on alloy wheels with fancy rims roll this fantasy fulfiller Maserati home after you make the winning bid. Ciao bella!! All Cars Are Green Light with Motor & Transmission in Good Working Order.
