The cars are coming from Ontario, Canada. There is a wide-range of rust, from very little to a lot. Our policy is to not to buy structural rust.

Our buying model is scan for body rust and remove from any members Pre-Buy initial selection. All vehicles are inspected for rust, and power wire brushed off.

We conduct a very comprehensive Pre-Drive and Post-Drive inspection report through our Seymour technology. We use a fully insured and bonded drive service to conduct a Pre-Drive inspection and report that empowers the driver to take pictures inside and outside of the car. The driver runs through a series of checklists on the vehicle prior to the drive. The driver then will test drive your vehicle for over a 50 mile (near 75 miles) test drive at street and highway speeds. The system has conditioned logic. For example, if the vehicle has a check engine light comes on, the driver is told to stop the car and have it towed back to the auction or simply to return to the auction. After the over 50-mile test drive to the odometer conversion shop. The driver completes his post-drive checklist. All of this is systematized and capture at a VIN level.

3 words. Currency Exchange Margin. I encourage you to look up the historical currency exchange margin. It’s not as volatile as you think. On average, it’s 75% of the USD. Buying cars in Canada gives you an economic advantage that you can’t replicate in your U.S. domestic purchases. For every $7,500 USD, you can buy $10,000 of Canadian purchasing power. Do the math. $2,500 of currency exchange margin for every $10,000. On a $30,000 ACV car, you have on average $7,500 of currency exchange margin. Additionally, $30,000 of USD buys you $37,500 of car in Canada. Increased value. The currency exchange can cover most, if not all your import and program fees. Depending on your ACV range, there can be profit in the buys as well. ACV stands for Actual Cost of Vehicle.

Next Gear does not allow their Floor Plan to be used to buy Canadian cars, because it does not Initially come with a U.S. title.
