Does anyone have experience with buying a car at the auto auctions? The good, the bad, and the ugly. We want to pick up a spare car, but dont really want to spend a fortune on it. Someone suggested the auto auction as an option other than dealers and private sales. I have no clue how they work, at all.
I looked up the website for our local site and can see the run list, but have no clues from there what to do or better yet, what NOT to do.
I looked at some of the pictures of the cars that are up for sale that would fit what we are looking for, but no clue what would be considered a good price point, high and low for buying from the auction. Looked all of them up on autotraders.com to see what was the selling price was on cars close in description to those cars up for auction make, model, year, and miles.
If anybody has any suggestions or know how, I sure would appreciate the info.
