What are the most important things to check at an auto auction? I want to go to a government seized auto auction to get a car. Since your not allowed to test drive these cars, I definetly will bring along my mechanic to look at the car. What are the most important things for him to check since the car is sold "as is"? Also, most of these vehicles are newer (2000 or newer) so they're not very old. Somebody here said to not buy a car that is clean on the outside because it usually means that it is in bad mechanical condition. Why is that?

Is buying a car from an auto auction a good idea? I am a 19 year old male, never had a car, and I live in the state of Illinois. I am planning on buying a car from an auto auction for around $1,000-$1,400. I was told I need to take a mechanic with me to look at the car overall, the one I'm buying that is. Plus I have done Carfax Vehicle History reports on most of the cars at the auction I am going to, and the car i want only showed 1 report, so I am looking to buy that car it's only $1,000, but i was wondering do I have to pay additional fees or just flat out pay the $1,000 at an auto auction. And what information should I ask for the title? and do they give you the liscence plates for the car? Has anyone ever bought a car from an auto auction for around this price range if so, let me know how it ran, how long it ran, and how much maintenence had to be done to the car? I would appreciate it, and do they actually bid for these cars at this price or do you just look at each car through the parking lot?
Anyone ever sell a vehicle at an auto auction? I have a dodge ram 1500 extended cab and am considering selling it at an auto auction. It's not 4 wheel drive so I can't sell it on the street. I have been told the average price I can get for it at auction is $5800, but I'm afraid of it only going for $2000 or some other ridiculous price. Does anyone have experience in this that could give me some advice?

How can i get started buying used cars at auto auction? I'd like to buy trade-ins from local dealers, or perhaps other auto auctions, so that I can later re-sell them for cash. Do i need to incorporate as a business at first? Do i need licensing? I'm currently in North Carolina.
Can I get a good deal at an auto auction? I have about $4k in cash to spend on a car (just don't want to take out a loan in this economy).

What sorts of things should I be on the outlook for if I go?
How does one go about attending an auto auction? You see them on TV and I'm sure they are held all over the place, but how do you actually participate in one? I've heard that you can walk around a lot full of cars, but to attend the auction itself, you have to be part of some double super secret organization?
Has anyone ever bought a car at an auto auction? I am going to an auction in a few weeks and so far people I've talked to who've bought cars at auctions have had them break down shortly after purchase. Does anyone have any GOOD stories, or should I just go to a dealer? I'm not concerned about whether the car is clean, or if it has dents. The stories I heard dealt with transmissions and engines going out within a few weeks or shorter.
How does the auto auction work? When dealers buy cars from an auction how much are they paying for a vechicle compared to how much they can resell that vehicle for. EX. I recently bought a Jeep at KBB value from a local guy for $8600 and when the deal was done he told me he bought it for $5500 from the auction. That is 55% more than what he paid. Is that a typical profit that dealers expect to see when they purchase a car from the auction? I'm not worried about how much more I paid...but are the cars bought at auction usuallly problem cars? Again, what type of price does a dealer expect to pay compared to how much they can resell it for?
Why would a good car end up at an insurance auto auction? Looking to buy a used 2009 vehicle right now with 9,000 miles. Seller states it was purchased at an insurance auction with a clear title. Autocheck confirms this info - single owner, no accidents, no thefts, no repossessions, clear title, etc. What might be the reason this car was at the auction in the first place?
Any licensed dealer who can take me to auto auction? Is there any licensed dealer who can buy a jeep grand cherokee off the auction for me. I am located in new jersey. If you'd like to help me out and make profits, please email me I dont necessarily want to go to the auction. What i meant was.. If you are a toyota dealer you would not be interested to buy a jeep. But if i guarantee you that i will buy a jeep if you win it off from the auction, well I will be a one extra customer for you.
Looking to buy an 07 Infiniti M35X through an auto auction. Any auto dealers want to help me out for a fee? I'm looking to buy the Infiniti M35 AWD with at least the Technology Package (Which basically includes the Journey Package plus the Bose stereo, CD changer with MP3, eight speakers, Nav system which is a must, and rear monitor). New, I'm looking at the low to mid $40K's. Used through a dealer I'm looking at mid to high $30K's. Third party, I'm slightly better at the mid $30K's. I know I can get the same car through an auction in the low $30K's. I have access to Manheim's website but don't have a dealers license, nor do I want to go through the trouble. I'm looking for somebody with a dealers license and who knows what they are doing to give me a hand picking this up at an auction. If it's worth your time, then it's worth $1,000 dollars to me in cash. I'd rather pay somebody a grand to help me out than to keep trying to hash out a better deal through a dealership or third party. Thanks in advance.
Why are cars at an auto auction? Are they good cars? I am considering purchasing a car that was bought at an auto auction by a reputable car dealer. It has a good price, a clear title, and a perfect Carfax report. It seems like a great car, but I wonder why it was at the auction? It is a Toyota, and they are usually great cars to buy and sell.... so I'm rather suspicious. Can someone tell me why cars end up there, and if cars there can be okay cars?

Buying a car from auto auction? I know when purchasing a car from a auction you buy as is. But I think I have been beat. The car overheated before I could get out of the auction parking lot, and it appears that water is in the motor oil. Do I have grounds to get my money back or am I stuck?
