I admit when I was younger, I kinda thought an auction would be a goldmine for finding a nice used car.
Thinking of repos and people just not paying off their new vehicle after a few years paying it off from their bank.
But I also thought other car dealers would try to buy too.
Also confiscated cars by the police were being auctioned too, or that’s what I saw in the news at times. And real cheap.
Anyways, I never did buy any auctioned car or used for that matter during my lifetime.
And would never buy one without keys if I can’t even drive it away after buying one.
Let alone buying one at auction and not being present.
I’m into the old adage of letting a mechanic check a used car type.
Even if I had no mechanic, I want to know if it runs, and I can only gain a feel of this knowledge by being at the auction itself, if I ever want to part with my hard earned money for an auctioned vehicle.
I’m sure we can see if it was in a wreck or informed.
And I would want to know if their were keys before I bid.
And then I might gamble and toss my hat in the ring.
No offense to today’s instant gratification of buying things during our technologically advanced times.
