⚖️Public vs dealer auctionsmust read▶

Dealer auctions have better inventory and lower prices, but require a license. Public auctions are your lane for now — and there are real advantages to working them well.

FactorPublic auctionDealer auction

Inventory qualityVariable — repo, fleet, privateHigher — lease returns, fleet
PricesSlightly higherLower wholesale prices

Buyer fees$200–$500 or % of priceSimilar, varies
Salvage riskPresent — always VIN checkLess common
Future unlock: At 5+ cars and consistent revenue, an AZ dealer license opens Manheim and ADESA. ~$1,000+ in fees, physical lot address, and surety bond required.
🎯Bidding strategy — from experienced buyersstrategy▶
Write your max before you walk in. Auction adrenaline is real. Your pre-written ceiling is the only number that matters.
Let others open. Don't be first to bid. Watch the room, enter mid-bidding.
Talk to floor staff. They know which cars had zero interest and which lanes are slow.
Target end-of-lane cars. Last few vehicles sell cheaper — buyer fatigue drops competition.
Look for paint overspray, uneven panel gaps, musty smell. All signal prior accident repairs. Walk away.
Check brake discs for deep scoring. Grooves = $300–$600 repair minimum.
Winner's curse is real. If it goes past your number, let it go.
🚗Best vehicles for your fleetbuying▶
Toyota Camry 2016–2019
The gold standard. Bulletproof reliability, parts everywhere in Phoenix, drivers love it.
$9k–$13k at auction
Honda Accord 2016–2019
Same reliability tier as Camry. Strong resale if you ever need to offload.
$9k–$13k at auction
Toyota Corolla 2016–2019
Cheaper entry, lower insurance, insanely reliable. Great for 12hr shift drivers.
$7k–$11k at auction
Hyundai Sonata / Kia K5
Good value. Check for open recalls — Theta II engine issues on some models.
$7k–$11k at auction
Avoid: Nissan CVT transmissions, Ford PowerShift DCT, any luxury brand
Sweet spot: 60k–95k miles — enough depreciation, still plenty of life
AC is non-negotiable in Phoenix. Test on preview day. Compressor = $1,200+
🛡️Insurance essentialsprotection▶

Personal auto policy: Excludes commercial use. One accident = denied claim. Call your insurer before the next rental.

Commercial fleet policy: Get quotes from Progressive Commercial, State Farm Commercial, Nationwide, Allstate Business. Expect $150–$350/month per vehicle in AZ.

Liability: $100k/$300k bodily injury · $50k property minimum
Comp & collision: covers your car if driver damages it or it's stolen
Uninsured motorist: critical in AZ — one of the highest uninsured rates in the US
📋Rental agreement essentialslegal▶
Driver's license copy on file before every rental — no exceptions
Driver pays fuel, tolls, tickets, and parking — written explicitly
Driver covers the deductible if they cause an accident
No unauthorized drivers — signed person only
Late return fee: $50/hr after 30-min grace period
Security deposit $200–$500 upfront, returned after inspection
📈Growth roadmapstrategy▶

Phase 1 (now): 1 car, validating model, building driver relationships.

Phase 2 (next): 3 cars · $800/wk · 4 weeks = $9,600/mo gross. Target Camry or Accord, clean title, under 95k miles.

Phase 3: 5–8 cars, form LLC, commercial fleet insurance, driver waitlist.

Break-even per car: $12,000 ÷ $800/wk = 15 weeks.
