Bridger Asked:

A neighbor and I are going to an actution 2 check out cars. He told me cars are signifcantly cheaper there. Is This True?

The Model Im looking 4 is a 2000 Chevy Impala or a 1996-2000 Cadillac DeVille, he said both would run about 1,500, even tho average price for both is 4-6thousand. is there a possiblity of finding a 2000 imapala in good shape for 1500?
Also what are the pros and cons of buying at an auction compared to dealerships and private sell.?

What should I be looking out for?

Honestly, I bought a car from an auction for $1500, could’ve got it for $500 but some lady wouldn’ t stop bidding on it. I’ve had the car for about a year and a half…the only problem I’ve had is the starter went out besides that….its treated me good. It also depends on which auction you’re going to. If you know a mechanic I would take him/her with you to check out the car, if not then I recommend going to a dealer….atleast some dealers will work with you if you find a problem with the vehicle. At most auctions, you can start the car but can’ t test drive the vehicle.
