Research before you buy 5/7/2009

I don't recomend this place for people that have little knowledge about cars because some of these cars look good in the outside but does not mean you are getting a good deal with the price. The auction price is usually a minimum of $5000 starting bid which I believe is not fair to bidders..some or the cars are not worth that much because of the auctions fees, tax and all that other stuff that can be 1000-3000 more after the initial bidding price. These cars are already in a must sell quick situation.. If you buy a car for its kbb value or what the vehicle is worth you are in a loosing situation. Some of the cars are wet inside, have been in accidents, are not well maintained.. since you are not able to test drive you are gambling on what the car is really worth... I recomend to carfax all vehicles in your wish list and set a budget on atleast 3000 below kbb of the car to compensate for mechanical problems.. Salvage title is always a loosing situations. Never get that!!!! cars that have accident history do not get because they can have eletrical problems to say the least.. I have bought cars here before and probably half of the cars is not worth going to bidding wars with.. Just remember you don't have to buy are car here on auction day and you didn't pay much to get in so best thing to do is go a few once or twice and check out how the system goes to get a better feel of whats really going on. Do not rush into buyinhg a car here, they are not that great... Good luck guys Pros: once in a while good deals Cons: carfax doesn't tell you all more
