With over $300M in annual sales, Mike Schmitz Automotive Group is an authorized dealer of Mercedes-Benz, Mazda and Hyundai. We operate out of a highly automated facility in Dothan, Alabama. We retail select units on eBay that are in high retail consumer demand. Our typical eBay offered automobile is a one owner or off-lease, late model (2002 or newer), with good mileage. Many of our cars and trucks we list will still be under a factory warranty.

Who Should Bid

Only individuals who have their finances pre-approved or (WE CAN FINANCE YOU!) or have cash on hand to finalize the transaction should bid on  any eBay motors auctions. We take much time and dedicate a lot of energy to our listings as should be evident by the usual 60+ photo's taken of each vehicle. Please bid responsibly.

What is the source for your inventory?

We have many different sources for the pre-owned cars and trucks we stock. Vehicles may be purchased at dealer sales, off-lease sales, directly from franchise dealers, from credit unions and banks. The vehicles we retail on eBay are usually late model (2002 and newer) and have good miles and may still be under 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.

Do you have all titles on hand for your vehicles?

We do not always have titles on hand for vehicles that are placed for sale. Titles may be in transit from banks, other dealerships, from the state and a host of other reasons for normal processing delays in title paperwork. We are a reputable dealer in Dothan and guarantee clear titles on all vehicles that we sell. Mike Schmitz Automotive Group sells over 3,000 vehicles a year, that means the movement of vehicles and title are a constant at our dealership. If having title on hand is of critical importance to you, please call to verify its disposition prior to contracting for sale.

What "other" fees are there besides the purchase price?

The other fees include taxes, shipping and documentation charges. If you live in alabama, you must pay 3.25% of the sale price of the vehicle as a tax to the state. There is a $399.50 Documentation/Service fee which includes handling paperwork, filing titles, mailing and copying costs, detailing the vehicle, inspecting the vehicle and checking tires and fluids before shipment or sale. These fees are fixed and non-negotiable.

Your 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.
