Return of the Rental Category, Tuesday, March 23, 2010

You missed it, so we put it right back where it used to be.  Now with more inventory!

Here's a small selection of what's up for offer in the rental category:

Up first is a bright red 2010 Toyota Prius.  It took a hit to the driver's side front corner but the  airbags did not deploy. It is clean inside and out with just 2885 miles on the odometer.  Rebuild this nice hybrid hauler and start saving fuel today.




Also in the same category is this exceptional 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. It covered just 424 miles before taking a low hit to the front end.  The airbags did deploy but it runs and moves as is. Pick up this nearly new SUV and be cruising in style in no time for significantly less than the price of a new one.



Rounding out our trio of low mileage, light damage rental vehicles is a 2010 Dodge Nitro SXT.  It has all of 1310 miles on the odometer and sustained a  light hit to the front end. The airbags did not deploy and it's clean inside and out.  Pick it up today and have it back on the road in no time.



New vehicles are being added every day. Don't miss your opportunity to pick one up.

Big bore bike day, March 18, 2010

Looking for a big bore bike to burn up the track or the street?  We've got a trio of liter class bikes to keep an eye on.  Check 'em out and add them to your auction watch today.

First is a nice looking 2009 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 put down on the left side. With some work it would make a great street bike, or swap on same race plastic and hit the strip.




Next, we have a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja with a bent rear end.  It's in need of some more extensive rehab but has potential as a donor or as a race bike. Most of the plastic is there as well.




Finally, we have a 2009 Yamaha YZF R1. It was put down on the right side and clipped the oil pump cover.  Put this bad boy back together and rule the track.





If cruising the boulevards and byways is more your speed and you need big bore power we have a trio of cruiser  that just might fit your needs and budget.

 Leading off this trio is this 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M109R.  This black beauty has light all over damage and shows just 736 miles on the odometer. Big power and a unique style will turn heads where ever it takes you.




Following up is a 2008 Honda ST1300, the latest evolution of a line that started with the Pacific Coast. This mid-weight fully faired cruiser will carry you, your companion and all your gear all day in comfort and style. The front end is bent and it's gone down on the left side but with some TLC this mid-weight could be cruising the coast once again.


Rounding out the second trio is a burgundy 2008 Harley Davidson Street Glide.  This bike would make the perfect jump-off point for your hotrod bagger project. The fairing and right side bag are toast, but the rest of the bike is all there, waiting to be reborn with a mean streak.



Don't see what your looking for, come on over and check out Salvage Direct.  We always have a great selection of bikes, with more added everyday.

left sideFirst up is a 2009 Mercedes Benz SLK 350. This beautiful hardtop convertible is mars red with a beige leather interior. With a 300 HP V-6 under-hood and the cool breeze in your hair, this is the perfect car to hit the coast  in. This car took a hard front hit but could be rebuilt or serve as a worthy donor. Win it and be the envy of the neighborhood.
mvc-001If you need room for four, we have you covered as well. This cute little Mini Cooper convertible might just fit the bill. Red with a black top and charcoal and black interior, this cheeky little British runabout will get you to your destination in style and comfort, while sipping fuel along the way. It suffered a light hit to the front end and with a little work could be out on the road, bring smiles to you and everyone you pass. Don't miss your opportunity.
