   Yes, you could if you examine the car before you bid, because they are not pre-inspected.

   $500 gets you a car that still runs, and that’s it! LOL you’d expect more than that for $500? Get real! What fantasy world are you living in?

   Not likely. And cars at auction are as is and as seen, they are not inspected in any way.

   You are better off buying a car from a private party using craigslist.org. In my area there are over 420 vehicles for sale by owner for $500 or less.

   For $500 you can expect a car that runs and drives. Make sure you have it inspected by a mechanic before ANY money changes hands. Expect the mechanic to have a pretty long list of items that need immediate attention or will need attention in the near future.

   I recently bought a 1998 Corolla with 167K miles for $500. It needed a starter that cost $240 installed.

   can i get a good dependable car at auto auction for $500?
   Highly unlikely, sorry. The best you can hope for is that such a car won’t be too expensive to fix up.

   are the cars at the auto auction reliable and inspected?
   No, they are not inspected. Degree of reliability is unknown, but highly suspect.

   If you can buy a car from someone you know and trust, you’re way ahead. You’ll know what you’re getting and have some idea of what needs fixing.

   Maybe, but you won’t be able to find them all the time. They end up breaking down after a couple of weeks of owning it.

   I found a list of several auto auction and government seized web sites. http://www.autoadviceonline.com/Government-Seized-Auto-Auctions.html These sites can probably answer your questions. However they cost a little bit to join, but I couldn’t find any free resources online. Since the vehicles are always being sold, your annual fee is probably used to employ people to keep the site up to date.
