What would the detailed process be in buying a car from a public auction?
I would like to know more about buying a car through a public auction, repossessed cars, police seized cars, government auctions. How do i get into these auctions? What can i expect? Where would the best auctions be located in California? How does the auction work? What are good sources to look up the car’s history before buying it through an auction? Are there available warranties or are these car’s "as is"? The more information you can provide, the better.
first off u cannot look up history ….unless u happen to pre-pay a multiple carfax before u go and carry ur smart phone with u and look it up once u are there…
** as far as auctions go most are scams…….and the ones that aren’t aren’t really open to the public……they are but the used car dealers go and can and WILL out bid anyone on anything decent……
** as for when and where contact ur local PD ….and every garage or mechanic has to auction off cars that they keep from ppl not paying the bill and they have to run an add in the paper about it at least one week in advance…….but again these "auctions" are rigged….basically mechanic will "pay himself" for car if u don’t offer enough money ……
