WANDERING JOE'S
USED VEHICLES
  While
many
who visit the Nomad Market use vehicles to barter
and trade, there
is only one merchant who specializes
in
buying and selling
vehicles. Wandering Joe's is also one of the
few, and the
largest,
permanent establishments of the
market. In fact, Wandering
Joe's has done more to centralize and expand the
Night City Nomad
Market
than anything else. With its
massive sprawling lot,
and prominent auction
site, the Wandering Joe's complex is vast, and
takes up 2 miles of the north eastern
section of the market, easily dwarfing even the
largest of clan
headquarters. Wandering Joe's has a hard earned reputation of fairness and honestly. They simply will not sell a vehicle that does not run . In fact, the policy is that if the vehicle can't make it  through the gates
on its own power, then they will
not take it at all. Once they
have accepted a vehicle they have a large staff of
fully trained
mechanics, some of
the best in the world in fact, to repair any
engine
problems and ensure that the vehicle will last at
least a year, or your
money back. Wandering Joe's has no clan affiliation, although some say they are a clan themselves. In addition to the at least 30 permanent mechanics on staff, they also boast more security personnel than any other sector of the Market. They openly hire security and mechanics, though they do not allow any clan ties to interfere with the duties as required. Any employee caught trying to deceive or steal from Wandering  Joe's is dealt
with harshly,
 and often
permanently, even more so if the person is doing
so under
influence from their individual clan. In
addition to security
and
mechanical duties, Wandering Joe's also employs
gophers to park
vehicles or fetch them for auction, and a
small staff to run their
web site, listing vehicles coming up for auction. All the
Auctioneers are members of Joe's family. He
himself auctions the cars, his brother
Zeke auctions the trucks, his son Cletus auctions
the
motorcycles,
his wife Meg auctions the aircraft, his sister
Jo-Jo
auctions the watercraft, and his cousin Merle
auctions everything else.Wandering
Joe's
is an open auction, and
vehicles are displayed for a full week before
 they go up for
bid. It may
seem a bit of an aggravation to nomads wishing to
sell their
vehicles that they be forced to wait this long,
but first the mechanics
have to inspect the
engine, then the buyers have to be given time to
identify which vehicles they wish to
purchase. Any nomad
wanting a quick return  on his vehicle is
advised to simply use it as barter with one of the
many merchants in
the market, or find an individual buyer and sell
it to them
directly. As is the case with all technology
sold in the
market, Wandering Joe's only accepts sellers with
clan
affiliation. This is so they can enforce
their money back
guarantee. More than anywhere
else, it is important that you are honest
here, as if your clan has to foot the bill for
your
deceit than they will come after you with a
vengeance. Wandering
Joe's keep strict
records on both the individual seller
and their clan to help assuage
any duplicit dealings.
That being said,
Wandering Joe's will
accept any
vehicle, so long as it runs,
regardless of circumstance. While
wandering
Joe's accepts any vehicle that runs, the only
vehicles we
will
be showing you here are those which fall under the
class of nomad
vehicle, which most often means they have been
highly modified,
sometimes from scratch, or are otherwise unique
enough to be classified
as such. With that being said, please browse
the lot for
what we
have coming up for sale this week. For the
purposes of the
auction, crew refers only to the minimum  number of people it takes to
drive the vehicle. All vehicles come exactly
as shown. For
and additional fee you can have our secondary
mechanics install any
options you can supply the parts for.GM NOTE: It is important to remember that the prices listed for vehicles at Wandering Joes and other Nomad Market Auto Auctions are that of the opening bid of an auction. Expect the price to raise by 1-2D10 depending on condition and demand for the item. |
