The Car Auction Scout

The most dangerous thing at an auction is emotion.

You see a car you like, the bidding war starts, and suddenly you've paid $1,000 more than you planned. There goes your profit margin.

The Car Auction Scout is your disciplined partner for auction day (Manheim, Copart, or Adesa). It helps you plan your watchlist before you arrive, so you execute like a pro.

🛠️ What’s Inside?

This template uses 2 Interconnected Databases to keep you focused:

1. Auction Calendar:
   • Track upcoming sales events and locations.
   • See your total "Potential Spend" for the day so you bring enough cash/credit.
2. Vehicle Watchlist:
   • Log the Lot # and VIN of cars you want to target.
   • The "Max Bid" Calculator: Enter your estimated retail price and set your "Walk Away" price.
   • Track your results: Did you Win, Lose, or Pass?

💡 Why use this?

• Mobile Optimized: Designed to be read easily on your phone while you are standing in the auction lane.
• Profit Protection: By setting your Max Bid before the adrenaline kicks in, you ensure you buy right.

🚀 You Won the Bid! Now what? This template helps you buy the car. To manage the reconditioning, track the total cost, and sell it for a profit, you need the full system.
