How do Public Auto Auctions work?

Filed under: Government Car Auction

I’m looking to buy a car, and I’m wondering how these auctions work. Do you bid against other people trying to get the car as well?

    There is a big warehouse full of cars, you have these listed with basic details on a sheet of paper.
    you take your time to look round before the auction starts.

    you then take your seat in the viewing/bidding area and 1 by 1 the cars will be driven in.

    you then bid by raising your card with your auction number on it.

    just like a normal auction.

    This one of the best ways to get a very cheap car, however there are a lot of bad experiences from auctions as the cars are sold as seen, so you have no comeback if it dies a couple of days later.

    Best Answer?
