what do you guys think about car auctions (like from police and stuff) good deals but bad reps for the car? would you guys ever buy one from there, why or why not? im just curious because i might go to one on sunday (just for the experience to see whats up)

It depends a few things. My idea is that if you have moderate - advanced knowledge about automobile repair, and the price is right then its cool. Chances are that a good portion of the cars will have exterior damage, and/or mechanical issues ranging from minor to severe, and/or fragments of a human skull in the backseat . I beleive they give you an overview to the best of their knowledge however.

What happens most of the time, is that used car dealers buy from here, fix a little thing here and there to get her running smooth again, and bump the price up a few grand.



So overall, yes the chances of you getting a car with something wrong with it are likely, but if you know cars and how to fix certain things and have access to the tools, then you should be in the clear.

The good- You can get a car very cheap.

The bad- You don't know too much about its history.

The better auctions to go to are lease auctions, where leased cars are sold. They won't be as cheap, but you are geting a slightly used car that you know all about. The only bad thing is you need to know a car dealer to get you in.
