I am a used car wholesaler with 36 years of experience in the collision repair field. At dealer school I met a guy who goes to auctions and buys for other dealers. He was going to help me get my foot in the door, but I cannot get ahold of him. Does anyone know how I can tap into that as I am perfect for that situation (can tell if a car has been repaired, painted, has frame damage or had frame repair done). Basically I am a walking car fax. Any input/ help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
That'sa very tough position to seek without any sort of connection or local reputation. It isn't just about understanding the mechanical/cosmetic condition of a vehicle. It's more so about understanding market trends, depreciation vs msrp, supply and demand, and most importantly being able to look at any car and identify optional vs base equipment.
