How to Enter Auto Auction?

I plan to buy a car, and I was told that in the auctions I will be having more options and better prices.



What is the way to enter the auction?

it depends on the auctions rules and regulations, first and foremost. alot of auctions, only allow dealers and collectors bid , buy , oor even enter, other have a membership , and theyre are those that anyone can walk in and bid, youll have to get an application and fill it out, get a number, and then go out and look em over before they bring them down teh lane(s) most auctions wont allow inspection when the car is coming down the auction lane(s), its done prior to the car entering the building, KNOW what your buying, then jus go to the lane(s) of your choice. and get ready to bid!How to Enter Auto Auction?
i own a shop,and we go once in a while,all you do is go in and register as a buyer ,and that's it ,some auctions give out numbers but most car auctions don't do this anymore,then you go to what ever line your going to buy from,and wait till they start bringing the cars through,and bid on one you like,if you go early enough,you can walk through the lot and look them over,if I'm going to go to one i always go early enough to see a few that i might be interested in,be careful though,if you don't know much about cars ,you can get burnt so bad at an auction that you wont ever want to go again,i have been lucky so far ,i always look all of them over real good before buying,but i have seen a few that wouldn't have took them if they was giving them away,take someone with you that knows about cars,you can actually have fun at a car sale,good luck i hope this help,s.How to Enter Auto Auction?
Except for auctions listed as "public auction" most other auto auctions require you to have a dealers license.
you pay a deposit to get a bidder's number and then you can bid on the car you like. they generally cost one hundred and you will be re-imbursed if you do not but a car. if you buy one, consider that like a down payment because you have until the next day to pay for your purchase at most of them. be sure to go a few days early so you can view the cars and know what you are getting yourself into. check under cars for oil leaks and other fluids. look and see how clean the engine compartment is. take notice if it looks like it has been sitting for a while because this could indicate a serious problem such as tranny or engine replacement. look for water damage inside. there are diamonds in the rough out there. i paid twenty dollars for a 1981 honda prelude that no one else wanted to bid on. it had a dented fender and needed a heater core but it only needed a jump and some gas to drive home where my neighbor bought it the same day for five hundred dollars. i have gone other times and people bid the cars up high so that they are not worth buying. the key is to not go at the beginning of the month or at tax time because there are far too many buyers.
