The Potential Drawbacks

Auctions aren't the place for a picky shopper. The object is to buy the best vehicle you are able to find at a bargain price, and using the savings to transform the car into what you want it to be. So you should be ignoring most of the superficial easily fixable aspects of buying a car and focus on your needs and the quality of the vehicles. You also need to make sure you don't get caught up in a bidding war, paying too much is the worst thing you can do, some shady places will put a worker as a bidder to drive up the price.

Keep The Competition In Mind

These events draw in many knowledgeable people looking to make a profit. Some may work for used car dealers who buy cars, take them to the shop fix and clean them up to sell for a profit. Along with home mechanics looking for a great deal, make the basic fixes needed and flipping them on craigslist and other websites and apps along with parking it in a high traffic parking lot with a for sale sign.
