Auctions - Car Auction Tips

How many times have you went to a car auction and seen a car that you loved and you never took the chance of buying it because of the risk of buying a car full of problems. Worse still maybe you have never been to a car

auction because of the scare stories you hear about people getting ripped off and being left with a scrapper. The truth is that a car auction is a potential gold mine as opposed to a mine field if you are equipped with the right

experience and knowledge. As with any auction and when buying any product at the right price there is an element of risk because the cars being sold are second hand and you will get people that might bend the truth a little

but these risk elements can be greatly reduced to make your experience positive and profitable.

The first thing that you need to bear in mind is to check the car you'd like to place your bid on, and I mean check it. Inside and out give it a good going over. Bring a mechanic if you know one and try to spot potential trouble

before it happens. Check the places you wouldn't normally think of like the headliner and look for discolorment, which might indicate the previous owner was a smoker and the car might have an odour which is being masked

until you drive it for a few days and then it is back for good. Any chance you get to previews the vehicles, then take it and make good use of it so you know what is a bargain and what is over priced.

You don't want to doubt the information given, but you want to be sure everything is intact so bring a handheld device like a laptop or blackberry device.Equip yourself with the necessary technology and online service that will

allow you to check car's history.The internet will provide you with countless sites etc where you can check a cars service history and all the details you need to make your own decision on a car without taking someone elses

word for it.

If possible try to deal with the organ grinder as opposed to the monkey. What I mean is, if possible, try and ask questions to the owner or someone directly related to the car. By doing this you will be able to pick up things

where the owner might not be given all the details. When dealing with agents you need to remember that these guys are professionals and can easily persuade you into buying a car without you even realizing it. The can

easily gloss over the truth to get the sale and the commission so ask the right questions to the right people.All this detail might seem too much but it could be the difference between a quality deal to last you years and one

where you've over paid for a scrapper.

The conclusion to this article is that if you are equipped not to have the wool pulled over your eyes, and know what to look for before you arrive then car auctions can be very exciting and profitable places to be, and when the

work has been put in there is the thrill of the hammer coming down and you knowing you have got the car you want at the price you want.
