If you are planning to buy a car at an auction, you are likely to buy a car ‘in its present condition’. This means that if in case you have discovered later on that the car you have bought has certain defects, no one will be held accountable for the expenses you made for the repairs. The very first things to remind: do not expect perfection. No matter how much the final price is. Expect the possibility that the car needs some repairs or some parts need to be replaced. To avoid frustration, include in your budget the amount that may cost you on possible repairs. Inspect the car’s condition before bidding for it. It is wise to come early before the auction starts so that you have enough time to make your car selections. Make a shortlist and inspect them one by one. Check the papers of the car you want to buy including the mileage, repair record, VIN, and safety ranking. Test drive if the auction house permits it. Beforehand, do some research on the current market value of the car you are interested in. This will give you a clear idea on how much you will have to set aside on each car you see at the auction site. The highest bid price you should set for each car of your choice must include the possible repair costs you may have. Bring an expert if you can so that you can get an impartial assessment on the condition of the car you are interested in. Things happen very quickly in a car auction so be attentive. A car can be sold within 30 seconds. And before you know it, there …

I dont know I see alot of great 2000 and up year model cars for 1/10 of its original value. What if that crackhead or that druglord that previously owned that car wants it back isnt all they have to do is remember there VIN and track you down? so are police auctions really safe?

I’m going next week to bid on a car at a police auction. They don’t have keys which presents several problems…
Vehicle has digital odometer, so I cannot get the mileage reading. I cannot start it to see how it runs and it will make it a bit harder to tow it home as well.

Is there a way, using the VIN # to get a key made prior to the auction?

I know someone whom I don’t like and is far behind on the payments. They cover the vin in the windshield everywhere they park and uses an alias at all times. I would love for this person to get what they deserve.
