Auctions are great for buying these (look up) cheap. They give you a view of the car, you can look at the car up front, sit in it, and check it out, unlike eBay where you can only look at the car not touch it in any way. The bad part about buying a car at any auction is you don’t know if what’s under the hood matches what the car looks like. I bought a truck at an auction last week in Connecticut and it ended up having a bad transmission; the truck itself looked fine. It only had about 85,000 miles on it, and it had no rust. When I got it home and brought it to my local dealer because I felt something wrong when I was shifting it, he said that the transmission should be replaced. So much for my new truck.
Auctions are only good if you know for a fact that the car you are buying is worth it. Ask if the owner of the car is around so you can find out a little of the car’s history, also ask if it comes with any kind of limited warranty. When you go to an auction make sure to keep what you’re going to spend on a car to yourself because, if someone overhears how much you’re going to bid on a car they might bid up your max and then back off, making you pay your full price for that car. Another tip is to wait till the auctioneer goes down to his lowest price before you start to bid on the car.
Any questions just comment.
