First car auction

You are about to go to your first car auction. You can feel the excitement in the air. There are so many cars to choose from. But do you really know what to expect at a car auction? Do you know the legalities that occur at a car auction?
Most people get in way over there heads at a car auction. If this is your first car auction, you better come prepared.There are a lot of things you need to do and a lot of things you need to pay attention to at a car auction.
First off, before you go to a car auction make sure you have enough money in your bank account. All cars purchased at a car auction must be paid in full. You also need to bring your drivers license and any other form of ID to the car auction. This is needed to buy the vehicle and to do the title work and registration.
When you first get to the car auction you should make notes of the cars you are interested in. Then, if you can, go to kellybluebook.com and check the retail value of the vehicles you would like to purchase. This way you know what to go with when you make your bid.
At a car auction, many vehicles have a reserve price. This means that the vehicle has a minimum price t be sold at. If it is too high, do not bid on it. Be sure when you do bid that you do not get into a bidding war. Never bid more than you can afford. If the bidding war begins, just walk away.
At a car auction, it is every man for himself.Before you begin to bid on cars, you need to see if the vehicle is a good buy or not. Many vehicles at a car auction could have been previously damaged. An example of this is in Texas and Louisiana many cars were severely damaged by flooding during a hurricane. These vehicles were sent to a car auction and the buyers more than likely had no idea the vehicles had flood damage. You may also wish to take a mechanic to the car auction. A mechanic is a good idea at a car auction because they can see where someone may have tried to hide repairs and damage that the vehicle might have incurred.
Lastly, you can get a free Carfax vehicle history report on the vehicle if you get the vehicles identification number (VIN).Remember, at a car auction vehicles are sold "as is" and they do not come with a warranty.
Keep all of these tips in mind to protect yourself from a bad purchase. You are supposed to go to a car auction to get a great deal on a car and to save money. With the proper frame of mind, this is easily accomplished.

Car Auction Buying Secrets Revealed by Rob Emdon

Get to the auction early! I know that sounds really simple - but then buying a used car at a used Car Auction is not rocket science. You just have to bear in mind some simple and basic rules of thumb and you should be fine. So, get there early and have a good look around. Take your time finding the car you want and make sure you have your Kelley Blue Book, NADA guide, or Edmunds book if you're going to a used car auction to get an idea of the car's value.

When you find a car you like, open all the doors, trunk and hood and find the VIN stickers and make sure they match. If they don't the car is either stolen, was a wreck or has been rebuilt from different cars. In any event, check out the VIN number. Call a friend on your cell phone (or use your pocket PC) and get them to check it out online. There are several services that will give you a report online instantly. Remember the auctioneers have a vested interest in any information you get from them - so be prepared to verify your facts independently.

Of course, there are several types of 'auction' available to you. These include online auctions like eBay and yahoo, police and government car auctions, public auctions, insurance salvage auctions and wholesale auctions. Though the last two are normally only open to dealers.

Keep in mind that online car auctions are not so different to public car auctions. Once you have won your bid you are committed to buy. So it pays to run the same VIN checks and it may well be worth setting up an inspection period with the seller. So that you can have a certified mechanic inspect the car and determine if there is anything unsatisfactory about the car that was not disclosed at the auction.

Police and government car auctions are not really much different to public car auctions. In other words, you are not likely to get your car 'dirt cheap'. You won't be the only one there bidding for a 'dirt cheap' and before you know it you can easily end up paying way over the published price. For my money, bearing in mind that these cars may not have been maintained or driven for months, I'd rather not pay more than trade price for a car at one of these auctions. Otherwise, what's the point of being there?

Finally, once you have purchased your car, and despite the pitfalls, there are genuinely thousands and thousands of happy customers out there - give serious consideration to taking out an extended car warranty.
