All About Buying a Salvage Motorcycle at Auction
Posted by : Mark Drouser on May 08,2018 04:20 PM
Buying a brand new motorcycle is an expensive proposition for many bike enthusiasts. Luckily, there is way out - salvage motorcycles in auctions, either online or on-site. It is a great way to save money but only if buyers have an eye for singling out the worthy ones from among a heap of wrecked motorcycles for sale. If you’re interested in such motorcycles and are looking for the right channel, continue reading.
Why Salvage Motorcycles?
Price is the leading factor that attracts motorcycle buyers to salvage auctions. They can find a good number of bikes in these places at fairly low prices. Bikes with salvage titles can be rebuilt easily and re-registered before they become roadworthy again. Different motorcycles auctions, which include public, government, and police auctions, are held at regular intervals, and hence it is not a problem for prospective buyers to find them. Of course, there are dealer auctions as well, and motorcycle buyers can access them through a third-party dealer, who will bid and buy on their behalf.
How to Choose the Right Vehicle
Salvage motorcycles have been through some kind of crash or hurricane damage and sustained damage in different degrees. That’s why it is important to know their history before a buy. Base your buying decision on the nature and extent of damage, as well as possible savings after repairs. While some of the motorcycles have suffered minor damage and require few cosmetic repairs, others are just not worth it. Another aspect of buying from a salvage bike auction is the rarity of the vehicles. Abstain from bidding on bikes that are of rare models since their parts will not only be costly but not easily available in the aftermarket. This will cause problems during rebuilding.
The Repair Part
There are two possible scenarios when it comes to repairing and rebuilding a salvage motorcycle. If you’re a DIY guy, you can do many of the repairs yourself. Otherwise, you may need a mechanic or a garage. Some states require builders to possess a rebuilding license to bring back a motorcycle in order. Check the laws in your state before you start repairing it.
Footnote
Take time to understand the motorcycle auction process so that you can make an informed decision. Seek the help of a professional mechanic or someone knowledgeable about bikes. Once you do the groundwork, visiting an auction site and participating in it for your favorite vehicles is not an issue at all.
