When Is The Best Time To Go To A Car Auction
Many people who frequent car auctions either for pleasure or for business tend to agree that going to the car auction early is the best strategy. Before the auction starts all the cars are displayed usually in a parking lot so that the potential buyers can look into the interior, check out the engine, and generally get a feel about what the car is about and what condition it is in. The only stipulation at most car auctions is that you're not allowed to turn the car on or start the engine to see if it runs. There usually is a disclaimer on the windshield that will state that the car does run or that it is temporary incapacitated.
The earlier you get the car auction the more chance you will see more of the cars and you'll also be able to really check out walked you might want to buy and what the starting bid will be for that car.
When you finally pick at a car that you might like, remember the auction number when it comes up for bid. There could be two identical cars at the car auction that you have looked at but he did not know that the other car existed. For example, if you wanted a white Ford pickup truck, and there happens to be three of them at the auction, you could accidentally bid on one that is a lower standard than the one that you wish to buy.
Most of the cars in the lot well either have a marking on the windshield war in the back window stating which number the car will come up in the auction. The sequence of numbers used and the auction usually do not come up in the order they appear. The cars are usually taking from front to the back of the lot in random order. Sometimes the cars are chosen because they are sold by a specific seller and all of that those cars will be sold during one portion of the auction.
Getting to the auction early also allows you to pick prime seating. You want to be able to be close to the auctioneer so that you are able to bid on your car by giving a signal or holding up a sign. Sitting in the back of the stadium may not be the best choice because you will not be noticed when trying to place a bid. Also make sure that once you find your seat there are no distractions such as kids or other things that might take your focus away from the auction. A car auctions is a fast-moving process that leaves many novice buyers confused. Remember that there are car dealers, mechanics, and other interested parties are willing to use their expertise to push you out of line in the car auction.
Car auctions are usually very crowded places, so finding your seat and making a plan that will be able to secure that car for you at the price you want is a resource that you cannot ignore.
