Anyone here used a broker to get their car?
I've used a broker to get several cars from the auction. The last being my wifes 06 Cayanne S(Titanium Ed.) about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I actually attended the auctions w/ my broker, so I'm able to see what he actually pays for the car! Some brokers place a percentage ie. 3,5 or 10% of what they buy the car for. others charge a flat rate no matter what they get from the auction. The latter being the better option for cars that cost more than others! If you can find a broker who is willing to let you attend the auction, the better off I think you'll be! It's a great experience! Especially when you see how cheap you can get these cars!
