📸Good sticker photo: Full sticker in frame — VIN, mileage, announcements all visible. Angle from outside to cut glare. Take 2 if needed.
🔴Red light = as-is. Once you win, it's yours. Never bid emotional — it's not the casino.
⚠️Trans/Engine Defect: Only proceed if deeply discounted AND you have a repair quote first.
📐Bid formula: Target Sell − Buyer Fee − Repair − Detail − Min Profit = Max Bid. Never go above it.
📍Sac zip strategy: Economy → 95823 S. Sac. Asian market → Elk Grove, Roseville. Gig workers → Rancho Cordova. Working class → Del Paso, Florin.
