The Pro's & Con's of buying at Auction Car Sales

We have all done it ... wasted time trudging around Car Dealerships looking for something we can afford to buy; or wasted weekends pouring over the classified ads in all the newspapers searching for that great deal on a car.?

There has to be a better way to go about what should be a simple process of buying a car, right??
But, is using the Auction Car Sale method the best way to go about it??

Let’s look at the Pro’s & Con’s of an Auction Car Sale

Most people, wanting to buy a car, start off by doing some pretty basic research in order to get a feel for the value of different makes and models. This still applies today as well, except the biggest difference now is what the internet has made to the process.

This means you can now quickly visit a handful of sites put up by dealers, then the online classifieds posted by your local or national newspapers all from the comfort of your home or Office (in your breaks of course). You can now do the research in a hour or so, that used to take weeks..!!

Once you have a "Feel" for the market, you can start by listing out all the dealers in your area and begin doing the rounds. You also need the ability to get information from the Dealers without being stitched up by their salespeople..

Next you need to start contacting those private sellers you saw in the classifieds - more running around with little or no guarantee that you will find what you are looking for. Plus, there are only so many Auto’s that you can get to see in a day!

OR

You can search the Auction Car Sale listings with hundreds of makes and models - you already know which ones you like and are within your budget, by the earlier research you did.. You may find that your local newspaper has listings of where auctions are being held as well.

Now you have found the public auction location for vehicles, you need to contact them and make sure you know what is expected from you in regard to payment, registration, taxes, etc. You may also like to ask if they offer extended warranties.?

Also, they will have a day and time when you can go to the one Auction Car Sale place and inspect the vehicles you are interested in bidding for. If you do not have the knowledge yourself to carry out a thorough inspection, then it is advisable to take a friend with sufficient mechanical knowledge or your local trusted mechanic along to advise you.

As a useful tip, write out for yourself the maximum amount you are prepared to pay. Then should the biding get too frantic, you will have a reminder of your limit in front of you.
But don’t let others see this..!!!

By following the above you can more confidently participate in Auction Car Sales and drive away very happy in your new or used car, knowing you have saved yourself possibly thousands of Dollars and weeks of running around.

So, to save time, money, stress, unscrupulous private sellers offloading a heap of junk, paying through the nose at a dealers, you can see there are many benefits in using the Auction Car Sale way to purchase your next vehicle.

Good Luck and Happy Motoring..!!
