Auction Power Guide

i really need a vehicle to move around, especially for commuting to and from school. i saw a few cars for $700-$900 on craiglist and ebay. i know they are not gonna be a smooth ride, but i need something asap. i cant afford anything more than 1000$. any personal experiences?

yes that is a tough price range, and the only way to tell if it is a jewel or a turd is to go test drive it. You can take what the owner says with a grain of salt, but the real test is the test drive. I always try to test drive used cars when cold. (after sitting overnight) Check the oil to make sure it is oil, (if its a quart low when you check, its burning oil, most likely, or if you see a couple of oil cans in the trunk. Check the transmission fluid to see if it is a pinkish color, (this is good) and sniff the fluid (old mechanics trick) the fluid should not be black and smell burnt, if it is, walk away.
Start it up, if should start easily, and within 5 to 10 seconds smooth into a high idle. There should be no loud bangs or clanging sounds, and no rattles and no big clouds of smoke. Give it a minute or two to warm up for oil circulation, then drive it like you stole it. A used car that runs,drives , and stops good cold may not be in too bad of shape. It should be able to get up to freeway speeds easily (55) and I like to take at least a 30 to 40 minute test drive. I like cars owned by older adults, they usually have nicer stuff, a good income, and take care of their vehicles well, and do not drive the pee out of them. A young adult, usually is a lot harder on the vehicle, and will try to unload a car after it gets a lot of miles on it.
The problem is you have to be patient to find a good used car, which of course is not easy, especially if you need a car, Sometimes you have to be creative, to find a good car, I have asked people to meet me somewhere near my like a shopping center if I could not find a ride, (and this tells you something about the owner too, in a way as far as confidence that thier car will make it there and back. I have had people ask me to bring a car I had for sale, and I did, and they bought it, So sometimes it works out. In the end, its a used car, patience is the key believe it or not, as for crappy cars, after you hop in and out of a few, you can almost drive one around the block, and know its junk, things like broken switches, bad brakes, a miss in the engine, busted taillight, wierd dents (THAT ARE FIST SHAPED, AND WAIST HIGH) these are all clues on what kind of care a vehicle had. Here is a website that can give you more information on looking for used cars, www.samarins.com has tons of info, its free, and there is a used car review section that can give you some car repair statistics. also www.nada.com is a price guide, it has a consumer section that is free, and you can price older cars in the classic section .

Prior to the auction, you need to secure a copy or catalogue of the property lots that will be auctioned at any particular auction house. It may be worthwhile to obtain several catalogues from local auction houses so that you can compare property specifics.          For more details go to: www.auction-extreme-package.com If there are any properties that you are interested in, it is important to remember that an offer can be made before the auction. The seller will consider the offer and get back to you if he wants to proceed on that basis. In the event of your offer being accepted, the property will be removed from the auction process and you will be obliged to complete on the purchase.

Once you have the auction catalogues to hand, you should scan them for properties that suit your preference both in terms of price range and the nature of the property. Organize and arrange the properties according to the preferred style and structure of the property. Investigate or scrutinize the description of the property. Check any legal paperwork the auction house may hold for any property you are interested in. If unsure, it may be advisable to seek the guidance of lawyers or experts.

Double check any terms and conditions of the contract governing the schedule of payment. It is extremely important to make sure that you have available funds to purchase any one property in accordance with the terms and conditions of that lot. If you feel that there maybe a need for a mortgage, you will need to arrange this before attending the auction. Otherwise, you will risk losing any deposit you put forward for a property that you are subsequently not able to raise finance for.

On the day of the auction, you need to acquaint yourself with the mechanics of that auction. Usually, there is a need for prior registration if you wish to participate in the bidding. For help visit: www.auction-o-matics.com Be sure to take in any identification documents with you. You will not be allowed to bid without proof of ID. You will also need to take in a cheque book or bankers draft for any deposits that may be required.

Never arrive late. This is very important because you will need time to familiarize with the auction room and the mannerisms of the auctioneer. On arrival, always check the list of properties for any changes or alterations. It is not uncommon for properties to be removed from auction proceedings prior to the auction.

If you are to bid, make your bid clear so as to prevent confusion on the part of the auctioneer. Whenever bidding at auction always have your maximum possible bid in mind and don’t ever deter from this amount. Your maximum bid will take into account any works that you feel need doing to the property and also any profit levels you need to clear. If a property fails to sell at auction due to the reservation price not being met, you should consider making a bid directly after the bidding has stopped.
