Anyone completed a purchase through TwoTraderAuctions?
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
I keep seeing TwoTraderAuctions pop up when searching for older cars and repos. Has anyone here actually completed the whole process, from bidding to delivery? Not looking for ads, just real owner feedback.
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
I bought through them once, a 72 Nova project. The site part was simple. The longest part was waiting for paperwork after payment, but it was not crazy.
ShelbyGTMemberJoined: Dec 2019Posts: 498
Same here. I did not buy a show car, just a driver. The listing photos were fair and the car had the small scratches shown in the report.
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Main thing is read the listing twice and ask before bidding. People get in trouble when they assume transport, title, and taxes are all automatic everywhere.
MasonRMemberJoined: Apr 2021Posts: 173
Was the delivery handled by them or a separate carrier?
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
Separate carrier, but arranged through their side. Driver called the day before and again when he was about an hour out.
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
Good to know. I mostly wanted to hear if payment and title were normal.
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
For me yes. Not Amazon-fast, but normal auction-speed. Keep screenshots, save emails, and do not rush the wire until everything matches.
Delivery arrived 3 days late, anyone else?
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
RoadRunnerMemberJoined: Jan 2021Posts: 219
My car showed up 3 days later than the first delivery estimate. Not the end of the world, but I had taken time off work and it was annoying.
V8TomRegistered UserJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 88
Was that on TwoTraderAuctions or the transport company?
RoadRunnerMemberJoined: Jan 2021Posts: 219
Mostly the carrier. They said weather and another pickup delay pushed the route back.
69ChevelleSenior MemberJoined: May 2016Posts: 2,031
That happens with open transport. I always treat the first date as an estimate, not a promise.
MasonRMemberJoined: Apr 2021Posts: 173
Did they at least keep you updated?
RoadRunnerMemberJoined: Jan 2021Posts: 219
Yes, that part was fine. The driver answered and the office sent updates. I just wish they gave a wider window from the start.
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Fair complaint. Three days late is not terrible, but communication is what matters.
RoadRunnerMemberJoined: Jan 2021Posts: 219
Agreed. Car arrived fine, no damage. I would still use them again, just would not schedule my week around the first ETA.
Wire transfer confirmation time
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
V8TomRegistered UserJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 88
For anyone who paid by wire, how long did confirmation take? My bank says it was sent this morning.
SteveGTORegistered UserJoined: Feb 2023Posts: 55
Mine was confirmed same day, but late afternoon.
C10ChrisRegistered UserJoined: Jun 2024Posts: 31
Mine took until next morning. Bank cut-off times matter.
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
Always ask your bank for the federal reference number. Makes it easier if support has to trace it.
V8TomRegistered UserJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 88
Good tip, I did not ask for that.
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
Any update?
V8TomRegistered UserJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 88
Confirmed this morning. Looks like it was just after the cut-off yesterday.
Inspection report accuracy?
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
69ChevelleSenior MemberJoined: May 2016Posts: 2,031
How accurate are the inspection reports on TwoTraderAuctions? Looking at a Chevelle and the photos look good, maybe too good.
ShelbyGTMemberJoined: Dec 2019Posts: 498
Mine was accurate. It noted weak paint on the rear quarter and that was exactly what I saw when it arrived.
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Reports are useful, but they are not a full restoration inspection. They tell condition, not every future repair.
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
Agree. My car needed a carb adjustment that was not in the report, but that is old car stuff.
MasonRMemberJoined: Apr 2021Posts: 173
Do they show underside photos?
69ChevelleSenior MemberJoined: May 2016Posts: 2,031
On the one I am watching, yes. Frame looks clean but I wanted another set of eyes.
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
Post the link in the Chevelle section. Guys here will spot things fast.
69ChevelleSenior MemberJoined: May 2016Posts: 2,031
Will do. Appreciate it.
First time bidding this weekend
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
Thinking about bidding on TwoTraderAuctions this weekend. First time using them. Anything I should know before I click bid?
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Set your max number before the auction gets hot. Do not chase emotion.
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
Check transport cost before bidding. A good deal can look less good after shipping.
ShelbyGTMemberJoined: Dec 2019Posts: 498
Read the payment deadline too. Some people miss that and panic after winning.
C10ChrisRegistered UserJoined: Jun 2024Posts: 31
Can you inspect in person before bidding?
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
Sometimes depends on location and listing. Message support before the last day, not 20 minutes before ending.
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
Good point. I already asked for a transport quote.
MasonRMemberJoined: Apr 2021Posts: 173
Watch the last few minutes. People sit quiet then jump in.
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
Thanks guys. I will update if I win.
Bought a truck instead of a classic car
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
DieselFanMemberJoined: Aug 2019Posts: 604
Anyone else buy a truck there? Most posts I see are muscle cars, but I grabbed an F-250.
V8TomRegistered UserJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 88
What year?
DieselFanMemberJoined: Aug 2019Posts: 604
2017 diesel. Not perfect, but clean for work use.
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
Did it come from a dealer or repossession lot?
DieselFanMemberJoined: Aug 2019Posts: 604
Bank repo lot according to the documents.
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
That is where photos and inspection matter most. Work trucks can hide abuse.
DieselFanMemberJoined: Aug 2019Posts: 604
Exactly. I checked the underbody photos hard before bidding.
Title transfer questions after winning
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
SteveGTORegistered UserJoined: Feb 2023Posts: 55
Won my first auction and now I am waiting on title transfer instructions. How long did yours take?
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
Mine came after payment cleared. I think two business days.
ShelbyGTMemberJoined: Dec 2019Posts: 498
Same. They emailed forms first, then mailed title docs.
SteveGTORegistered UserJoined: Feb 2023Posts: 55
Did you have to notarize anything?
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Depends on state. Do not guess, ask them and your local DMV.
MasonRMemberJoined: Apr 2021Posts: 173
My state was picky about mileage disclosure.
SteveGTORegistered UserJoined: Feb 2023Posts: 55
Support answered. They said documents go out after carrier pickup is scheduled.
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
Sounds normal. Keep all receipts.
Would you buy again from TwoTraderAuctions?
Forum: TwoTraderAuctions Discussion · /sample discussion
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
For people who already bought, would you buy again from TwoTraderAuctions or was it a one-time thing?
Mike87Senior MemberJoined: Mar 2018Posts: 1,284
I would, but only after doing my own homework. Same as any auction.
RoadRunnerMemberJoined: Jan 2021Posts: 219
Yes, even with my delivery delay. The car was as described.
69ChevelleSenior MemberJoined: May 2016Posts: 2,031
I have not bought yet, but the listings are easier to read than some salvage sites.
DieselFanMemberJoined: Aug 2019Posts: 604
I would buy again for the right truck. I would not overbid just because photos look clean.
OldNovaMemberJoined: Jul 2020Posts: 342
My experience was fine. Biggest advice is patience.
BillTSenior MemberJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 4,902
Auctions are not retail shopping. If people understand that, they usually have fewer surprises.
ClassicJoeSenior MemberJoined: Sep 2014Posts: 3,410
That is probably the best summary.
