I see container shipments much cheaper on some auction sites, why would I be better off buying through Mid-America Imports?

This is a very good question and an area where many ‘would be’ volume buyers fall into an expensive trap. What many auction buyers have found is that in a container(7 to 8 minitrucks) there is usually a couple of minitrucks in ‘good’ condition, a couple that is slightly worse but may be driveable and a few that are basically useable for parts only. So you may end up with 3-4 driveable mini trucks but the rest of your money is wasted. In this case, often times the cost per minitruck can be equal to or more than the retail price on the lot. Buyers who find themselves in this situation almost never have any recourse to get a refund or replacement.

What is your question?
