Question about Cars in an Auction?? cars that run around $1500?

the only type of auction I would consider going to is one where you can al least test drive the vehicle, unfortunatly most auctions are full of crap cars dealers are unable to sell for one reason or another, private parties will also dump cars at an auction with major problems, just because it runs enough to idle to the floor is not good enough. I do not buy cars I cannot at least test drive cold from sitting at least overnight, and for at least 30 or 40 minutes from start up. and the only type of car I would consider is front engine rear wheel drive. For two grand, you need to be mechanically very savvy and know what you are looking for, Other people bid on cheap cars too, sometimes staying to the end can get you a decent deal, but you have to know what you are doing, dealers will often buy several cars, all they need is one good one in the pile to make money, the rest get shuffled around like lemon lemon who has the lemon? nissan, honda, toyota, and subaru would be about the only car I would even consider. best of luck auctions are a poor way to find a good car, the best way is to be patient, spend however long it takes lookng at crap cars until you find a decent private party car, like from an estate sale something along those lines, the cars are taken care of, usually kept under cover, and do not have the pee driven out of them .
