If you don’t know how they work, I would strongly suggest staying away.

At any auction, you have the major players and bottom feeders looking for scraps. You are the retail customer that is trying to compete.

If you find something you like, you’re going to end up paying up for it because it likely is something that everyone else likes.

Also, keep in mind, if it’s at auction- someone didn’t want that car for some reason or another. You have to find out what the reason is before you buy it, or it will cost you a lot later.

I’d stick to trying to find a car you like through retail outlets. This isn’t Mac Bid, buying wholesale cars can be dangerous.
