Many people have no idea about car auctions. They think that only car dealerships can attend these. As a matter of fact they do attend local or out of state auctions.
Sometimes car dealers even brag about it. I have been in a car dealer lot manytimes. And tell you the truth, sometimes the car dealer tells me - I got this car in Florida, it's clean, never in winter etc.
I live in NY state so as you can see car dealer want to paint a great picture about the car conditions.
When you know their dirty-selling tricks, you will be more prepared. Of course if you can attend car auctions, do so and save yourself some valuable time.
So where can you find these car auctions? I believe they are all over. In any state, county or city. They are hold by banks, police or other government institution.
They just need to basicaly get rid of their inventory thanks to an Uncle Sam law about seizure and surplus. You can find out more about it online if you want.
Now you can just go out or online and find out where you can buy car for less than $1000 dollars. Depending on the model and year of the car.
If you can take 70-90% off of your car value, it almost like you just made the money! No wonder car dealers makes so much profits.
