How much do you pay on top of the auction price?
Every year, licensed dealers buy thousands of vehicles at wholesale prices through auctions like the one Manheim runs in Lancaster County - inventory the general public never sees priced that way. Myerstown drivers who've heard about it usually have one question first. Delivery within the Lebanon, PA area is already folded into the $699. Myerstown sits 7 miles from Lebanon, so depending on exactly where that delivery needs to land, transport and fuel costs beyond the local area are quoted upfront before anyone commits to a purchase - never added as a surprise after the fact.
Who do I actually deal with during this process?
A Myerstown buyer never has to set foot in an auction lane. Hunt Auto Group handles that side of the transaction entirely, working through its licensed dealer partner's dealer-only auction access to locate and purchase matching vehicles, while the buyer only ever interacts with Hunt Auto Group directly - by phone, text, or in person.
What are the actual steps a Myerstown buyer goes through?
Step one is simple: say what you're looking for. Myerstown buyers describe the vehicle - year, make, model, feature preferences, and a price ceiling - and Hunt Auto Group schedules a short online consultation to lock in the details. After that, the search runs through dealer-only auctions accessible via Hunt Auto Group's licensed dealer partner. When a matching vehicle shows up, the buyer reviews photos, condition details, and price before giving the go-ahead. Only then does the purchase happen, followed by delivery and paperwork.
What if I'm not a licensed dealer - can I still use this service?
A regular Myerstown buyer walking in off the street has exactly the same access to this service as anyone else - no dealer license required. Hunt Auto Group, working with its licensed dealer partner, handles every credentialed step of the auction purchase. The buyer's only job is deciding what vehicle they want and approving the final price.
How does auction pricing actually compare to what a dealer would charge?
A Myerstown buyer shopping two identical vehicles - one on a dealer lot, one found through this service - is looking at a structural price difference, not a coincidence. The dealer lot price includes markup for overhead and profit; the auction price plus $699 does not carry that same built-in margin.
Why Myerstown drivers specifically look at this service
In Myerstown, everyone knows everyone. Our repeat-customer rate from this area speaks for itself - when your neighbor trusts us, you are not taking a risk on a stranger. It's a fair question whether that same logic extends to the auction channel specifically, and it does: Myerstown is a tight-knit borough along Route 422 between Lebanon and Reading. Many residents work at local manufacturers or commute east to Reading. In a town this small, word of mouth is everything - a bad deal travels fast, and a good one brings the whole family back. The drive a Myerstown buyer would otherwise make to Hunt Auto Group directly (7 miles, about 10 min via US-422 W) isn't one they need to repeat to reach an auction - that part happens on their behalf.
Can I finance a vehicle bought through the auction service?
Yes. Financing works the same way it would for any other purchase, through Hunt Auto Group's standard financing process, which considers all credit situations - good, bad, no credit, or first-time buyer.
How long does it usually take to find the right vehicle?
Typically one to three weeks. Common vehicles like a Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, or Ford F-150 tend to show up at auction on a regular basis; a rare trim or an unusual combination of features can take longer to surface.
