Why are American-made vehicles in demand?
Numerous individuals over the world have already recognized their advantages.
Most frequently, auctions in the US and Canada offer the chance to purchase a car with low mileage.
This is a result of the fact that Americans frequently replace their vehicles after 3-5 years of use.
This is made possible by the low-interest rates on bank loans (starting at 2%) and the widespread use of leasing in the USA.
In the USA, there are almost no road imperfections. Concrete with asphalt applied on top seals the joints and gives the car's suspension the most protection.
You will receive a well-maintained car from an American service center because they operate with insurance guarantees and complete repairs on schedule.
When ordering a car in the USA, you will get the best bang for your buck no matter if you buy some basic model or the top one.
Often there is also a maximum (Upper, Premium) equipment, with the most powerful internal combustion engine in the line, reliable automatic transmission, light alloy wheels, expensive audio system, and leather interior.
Even new cars are cheaper in the US than in any other country in the world, with the exception of Australia.
Additionally, used autos (like those seized by the bank) are sold at auctions for less money than they would be anywhere else.

Top 5 secrets for buying cars at auction
All auctions for used cars are conducted online.
There are websites and programs installed on mobile devices for bidders.
Examine the navigation and registration policies on these resources, as they may differ. Pay attention not only to the product description but also to the seller's information. Check out its history: How many cars have been sold, and are there any online reviews?
Beware of intermediaries who offer to help you to buy a car.
The rules for communicating with them are simple: never pay in cash, always sign a service agreement with a notary, and look for those who can confirm a person's or company's reliability.
Check and double-check. Prior to bidding, examine the odometer readings and compare them to the year of manufacture of the chosen vehicle using the Carfax and AUTOCheck web services.
Do not stop at the first selected car model with a price that suits you. Keep searching and bookmarking.
Identify at least three suitable lots before moving on to the next stage of selection.
At the same time, avoid going after extremely low prices. Please keep in mind that each product has a price range that an experienced seller is aware of. The lower the price, the higher the chance of running into a scammer.
Don't rush to bet.
Before taking part in the auction, carefully read the description of the car, and collect information about the lot put up for sale. If the model is presented in two lots at the same price, choose the seller with the maximum number of sales. It will not be superfluous to find out the details regarding the future transportation of the car. It is more reliable if a large logistics company takes care of it.
There is no such thing as a risk-free auction. As a result, the vehicle must be thoroughly researched.
You can hire a specialist in the United States for $300-500 to do this. He'll pop the hood, take more photos, and discuss his doubts, if any. When buying a car, however, the most reliable thing to do is to trust the recommendations of Columb Trade specialists. This will save you time and money while avoiding unnecessary risks and hassles.
