1) Car Auction Tips/Advice
TIPS OF THE MONTH
This month, in addition to tips, I'm going to list some general reminders to make your
experience at the auction a more pleasurable, trouble-free experience.
TIP #1: To get an idea of how much people pay for vehicles at car auctions, go to our
winning bids page (http://www.acauction.com/winningbids.htm).
TIP #2: All vehicles that are eligible for a warranty will have an orange Warranty Option
sticker on the windshield.
TIP #3: Inspect the vehicle that you plan to bid on. There is no excuse for not doing this.
You will have two opportunities to inspect the vehicle: on the day before the auction,
from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and the morning of the auction, from 7:30am to 8:59am.
TIP #4: If you are planning on obtaining financing from us for a vehicle, please double-
check and make sure that you have been approved for financing, BEFORE you bid on
a vehicle. In the event that you don't get approved for financing, and you win the bid
on the vehicle, you will still be liable for payment of the vehicle.
TIP #5: Don't bid on a vehicle if you can't afford to pay for it. I know this sounds like
common sense, but you'd be surprised at how often people get caught up in the
excitement of the auction and end up bidding on something that's over their limit.
Set your limits and stick to them.
REMINDERS:
a. You must be over the age of 18 to bid on a vehicle
b. Bring a valid Driver's License
c. Bank Drafts, Personal Checks and Credit Card Checks are not acceptable forms
of payment
d. If you do not pay in full, immediately upon being awarded the winning bid, you may
make a minimum 25% non-refundable deposit instead
e. All vehicles are sold "As is, where is, no implied warrantee, with all faults."
f. If you are planning to obtain financing from us, please be sure to bring all pertinent
documentation to assist us with completing and approving your financing package.
These documents will include, but not limited to, pay stubs and utility bills in your name,
personal references, etc.

2) Other Products and Services
FINANCING
Financing and extended warranties are available for most vehicles (on approval of
credit). Be sure to contact ACA Sales and Finance to obtain your pre-approved
bidding card before our next auction. ACA Sales and Finance has competitive
interest rates proven even lower than most banks and credit unions. Our Dream
Team will work on your unique situation to ensure you get the best possible rate.
You deserve it!
To arrange for financing, please call our Sales and Finance department prior to the
auction at(925)829-2421; you can also fill out a credit application online at:
https://www.acauction.com/secure/creditapp.htm
If you would like to speak with our Finance Managers, you can contact them on their
direct lines:
George Najjar at (925)570-0075
Mark Huang at (925)570-0081
EXTENDED WARRANTIES
Our warranty service agreements provide day-one coverage. You can also have your
new used vehicle serviced by any licensed mechanic or dealer of your choice.
Extended warranty programs mean "no worries". Due to our high volume of vehicles,
we have negotiated agreements with our service vendors to provide services to our
Auction customers at a much lower rate than traditional plans.
