But, since you are recycling questions, I will recycle my answer:



Dealers are not supposed to do this. But lets face it, they do it all the time.



Yes, its worth $250 if he is selling you the car at his cost. It will be much cheaper than buying at retail. Just remember that the dealer and the auction have NO connection to the car after you bid. Y ou own it, warts and all. So make sure you are getting something you like and that is dependableIs it worth paying a dealer $250 to take you to a auto auction to buy a car?
Just getting into a auto auction, is, by itself, not going to help you too much.



If the dealer is willing to guide you through the process, and help you inspect vehicles, I'd have to say it is well worth the $250. Believe me, if the dealer bought the car himself, and sold it to you at the dealership, the markup would be FAR more than $250.



You should know that ALL dealer auto auctions forbid such behavior, and, if the dealer was caught bringing a retail customer onto the property, he, or she, would most certainly lose his or her right to ever go back.



When I worked the auctions, it wasn't uncommon to see dealers enter the auction, only to back track to the fences, and throwing the pass over the fence to a "guest".



It is not likely that the dealer will refund your money should you not find a vehicle. He will have done his part, and whether or not you actually purchase a vehicle is not his problem.

Good luck to you.
It depends on the auction, tons of people go to semi private auctions and pay more than cars are worth. If it's an auction with franchise dealers who know the business, yes you can save a ton of money. Everyone thinks just because they get a used car dealer license they know cars, that's not the case.Is it worth paying a dealer $250 to take you to a auto auction to buy a car?
If that's your only option to become a registered buyer, it could save you a lot more than the $250 if you're lucky enough to score a decent vehicle at a typical auction price - which is generally significantly lower than the retail value.
no, I go every once and awhile with a used-car dealer friend and i cant imagine paying to go. Im sure you can find someone to go with for nothing.Is it worth paying a dealer $250 to take you to a auto auction to buy a car?
I'd consider paying it if they refunded the money in the event that I didn't find a car I wanted
No
