Finding Car Auctions
If you are looking for a vehicle but do not have a lot of money to spend then a great option is to find a car auction. Here you can find quality, classic vehicles but at a fraction of their regular price.

They presently remarket vehicles and equipment for the following: banks and financial institutions, trustees in bankruptcy, fleet companies, lease companies, daily rental companies, automobile dealers, private individuals, and dealer trade-ins.
Before You Go
Before you go to any car auctions there are a few things that you are going to want to consider first. Namely you are going to have to come up with a budget figure - an amount that you are going to be able to spend freely without affecting any of your other day to day purchases. By coming up with a set budget you will not only be able to narrow down your options at the auction but also will be less likely of going overboard and spending more than you need to.
You also want to beef up on your automobile knowledge, or at least bring someone along to the auction with you who are educated in this area. You certainly do not want to go into a car auction without a clue on what to look for because then you are most likely going to end up buying a lemon. By being aware of the different makes and models of cars and what their general asking prices are, you will be able to spot a good deal when you see it and take advantage of it.
There are peak months of the year for car auctions, namely summer, and you should try and get around to as many of them during this time as possible in order to have the most options available to you as possible.
