I've bought from an auction before. I went in with the assumption the car would need work and it did. The whole front end, wheel bearings, brakes, bushings. Unless you can do all that work yourself it might not really make sense.

Then an auction probably isnt for you. Me and a friend used to flip. Buy at an auction, bring up to par and sell. They will need work. Theyre sold there and not at dealerships for a reason.

These auctions are mostly for used car lots or mechanics to fix them and re-sell, it’s probably the worst option for finding a reliable daily driver. What’s your price range? You’d be better off looking online.

I just looked on Craigslist for Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics for an example and there’s at least 5-6 decent ones for around $3000 that would be a million times better idea than buying from an auction if you know nothing about cars, I’ll even send you the links if you want.
