Car auctions are great ways to purchase cars at deep discount. There you'll find everything from luxury automobiles to junk projects. A lot of people buy these cars either to drive themselves or to mark up for future sale. This pleasant experience, however, can quickly turn sour if you don't know a few things.
Maybe the car isn't as wonderful as it seemed. The car won at auction might turn out to be a lemon. Cars sold at such auctions are generally sold according to used car laws which tend to make it an as is sale. 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. The unfortunate buyer shouts “I want the car as was!” Nobody wants to become that guy.
Reputable car auctions give buyers ample opportunities to check out the cars before bidding or purchase. Don't make a purchase or even a bid at any auction that won't accommodate that practice. Take the time to do some leg work. Look around and test drive the cars of interest. Bring a mechanic to provide an expert eye. If that can't happen then test drive it to a quick inspection at a garage. Decent inspections take only a few minutes to check the important elements of the car including the motor, belts, brakes, and the like. Anyone with a decent eye can check the body, interior and other physical elements for wear and tear .
The very nature of auctions leads to another common issue. People assume that the auction price will be a great deal, but often it ends up being more expensive than purchasing the item through a normal sales process. It's no different at car auctions. The car's value can be quickly eclipsed by excited bidding. Add the fees often associated with the auction and it means great care must be taken to know the real value of a car. Easily accessible date on car values is standard issue for auction buyers. With Internet enabled phones and the like it's now easy to look up this information while on site. Even for the car of your dreams, don't bid more than its value.
Remember, auctions can be great deals. But keep your eyes and ears open. There's a sucker born every minute. Don't be the minute man at car auctions.
