Looking for a great deal on a car? Try car auctions. Anything from older, junk fixer uppers to great newer cars even to expensive luxury models can be found. Whether it's for personal use or resale, a lot of people acquire automobiles in this manner. A little information can make an auction an even better experience.
Some of what can go wrong includes buying a bad car. Every car at an auction isn't a hidden gem. The rule of the auction jungle is “as is”. Remember the old Sesame Street skit in which a man looks over a car with “as is” in the window. Finally the man agrees to buy the car, pays for it, but when he opens the door to get into the car it falls to pieces. ”I want the car as was!” screams the angry driver. Don't be like that man.
People are given the chance to inspect the vehicles at car auctions. Don't make a purchase or even a bid at any auction that won't accommodate that practice. Arrive early. Test drive the cars you like. Bring a mechanic to provide an expert eye. If that isn't possible, at least drive the car for an inspection during the test drive. It doesn't take long to check key components like the engine and breaks. Look for other issues such as dings or dents or rust .
The very nature of auctions leads to another common issue. Auction prices can be terrific, but sometimes people assume a bargain where there is none. It's no different at car auctions. Bidding might rise beyond the real value of the car. Be very careful because fees will be added to the final bid price. Know the prices of similar models in similar conditions from Kelly Blue Book or other sales data. Phones with Internet access can bring this info to your fingertips while attending. Even for the car of your dreams, don't bid more than its value.
Keep in mind there are deals to be found. Don't go in blind, however. There's a sucker born every minute. Don't be the minute man at car auctions.
