Make sure you know what the salvage title is for and verify that your insurance company will insure it. If it had been in a wreck that caused the uniframe to get ****ed, I wouldn't buy it, unless it was REALLY cheap, and it would be an offroad toy only. If your car is going to be a DD, I probably wouldn't buy one from an auction. There is probably a reason it's at an auction instead of on craigslist or autotrader or cars.com.

Many new car dealers sell their lease-returns at auction - so you can't look down on them just because they are being sold at auction. Not saying people don't abuse leased vehicles, but some people tend to baby their cars just because it's a lease.

Any car buyer needs to do his/her due diligence before pulling the trigger.

I just dont trust the $400 initial deposit. they seem pretty honest and I dont htink theyre hiding any more fees
but I have no idea how much people are bidding for these things
