Steve Westphal's Auto Showcase - (239) 458-7469

 
 What is The Source for Your Inventory?

 

We have many different sources for the cars and trucks we stock.  Vehicles may be purchased at dealer sales, at off-lease sales, directly from large franchise dealers, from credit unions and banks.  The vehicles we retail on eBay are usually late model (02 and newer) and have good miles and may still be under a factory warranty.  We resell cars with clean titles only, this means we never retail salvage, rebuilt, reconstructed, insurance claim, flood or other gray market vehicles unless specifically noted.

 

 

We are experts in the auto business and have personally inspected thousands of vehicles.  We do our best to point out the shortcomings in the cars and trucks that we sell.  If you are interested in an extended warranty for your new car or truck purchase, please contact us at sales@westphalsautoshowcase.com for details

   
Do you do Any Financing?

 

We have over 20 different lenders to offer you the most competitive rates and terms.  We offer financing to anyone in the United States , we are also happy to work with your local bank or credit union to get the paperwork processed and your deal financed, in most cases it takes less than a day to get the paperwork finished.

  
  What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

 

We accept cash (U.S. Dollars), wire transfers, and certified cashier checks drawn on US Banks in US funds.  We also accept financing checks from Capital One Auto Finance and eBay Auto Finance Center .

   

What about Extended Warranties and Gap Protection?

 

We have several different programs to choose from.  We offer United States Warranty Corporation extended warranties.  They offer policies from Power Train Coverage to Platinum Full Coverage.  We also offer US Gap Protection from United States Warranty Corp.  Whatever your needs, Steve Westphal’s Auto Showcase has a program that will work for you.

 
Do you accept trades?
 
As a general rule, we do not accept trades on our eBay listings; however, if you have a late model (02 or newer) car or truck with good miles in good condition, we may be able to consider it.  Keep in mind that the logistics and expense of long distance trades can sometimes be too much to overcome.
 
What type of service do you do to the cars before selling them?
 
All cars are thoroughly safety inspected and cleaned prior to sale.  If there are any mechanical issues noted during inspection, they are addressed before the car is sold.  Any issues that we elect not to fix are disclosed in full in our eBay listing.
 
 
 
How is Shipping of the Vehicle Arranged, Can I Get a Quote?
 
We are happy to handle all of the details of shipping your new vehicle to its new home.  Send an email to sales@westphalsautoshowcase.com with your zip code and the car or truck you need to ship, we will get back to you with a firm quote on shipping. 
 
Common Shipping Terms Include:
 
Open Carrier: - You've seen these trucks, 10 cars on a truck, running down the highway.  This is the most economical way to transport, but because of the risk of additional rock and element damage, many higher dollar and specialty cars must be shipped enclosed carrier.
 
Enclosed Carrier:- You vehicle will be transported in a closed container, this eliminates the damage that can come from exposure to the road and the elements, this is typically several hundred dollars more in cost.
 
Insurance:- All vehicles are covered by insurance while in transport; you will need to provide insurance once you take delivery of the vehicle.
