For those of you that may be questioning if you can afford to buy your dream car and even get a excellent operating vehicle, the answer is, yes of course you can. Buy from a car auction Bank Repo or seized. No Problem right??

When it comes to automobile shopping it would be a lie to tell you there is no hazards lurking when buying used cars. In respect of grand world of mechanics there is always chances to be taken. Nevertheless when you know what you want and do some work you will find that special car you love and it will love you back. With a savings of 50% to 60% off retail that's a opportunity worth your efforts.

To help you make matters a little easier when purchasing a used car, particularly at a live car auction here are 5 of the top buying tips based on wide research and experience from buyers all over the country.

1. Bank Repo's and Seized vehicles offer a good choice for bidding on at Car Auctions and buying cheap and still get a great car. There are many types of cars with different back grounds at these car auctions.Some are salvage vehicles from accidents or floods/disasters place up for auction by insurance companies or individual owners etc.. Sometimes you can distinguish a little about the car by looking at the paper form if they offer it. The easiest thing to do is get the vin # and do a story check online at Experian ?checkauto?. Bank Repo's and seized vehicles are a good choice because they were normally well kept by the owners and very often are in good condition

2. Make sure you have a pen and paper when you go to an auction or to check out any used car. While checking the vin# write it down and then open all the doors and compartments in the vehicle, hood and trunk as well. Now check that vin# against all vin#'s seen on the vehicle. Sometimes they are along the door sticker and/or trunk. See if they all agree with the one that is plated in the lower niche bottom of the windshield, usually on the driver side. If they don't agree, it is possible the car was in a bad crash and the door panels were changed or the car was stolen and it would be advisable to stay away from this one.

3. You can also easily check-out, while the doors are open, under the carpet and in the trunk for dampness or rust under the seats. Also look in the engine area for water stains around the engine block. If there is a water line stain around the engine block, rust under the seats or the floor feels damp it?s very likely this car was in a flood. Obviously this would be a good one to stay away from too.

4. While the hood is still open find the oil dipstick. draw it out and take a glance at the oil on the end of the stick. Do you see heavy dirt deposits? or is it like sludge? That wouldn't be a good sign if there is.The auto was plausibly not well maintained or it has been sitting a long time. It may not be a real problem but when there is always more cars to see. Pas This up you will thank me later.

5. Alrighty.. last but not to the lowest degree is the transmission check. While you are checking the oil also check the transmission by pulling the dipstick out and see if it has large dirt deposits or if it has a stinky smell. That is a sign of not being maintained either. however if that checks out ok, start the car, place your foot on the brake and hold it there. Then put it in drive and then slowly into reverse to see if there is a clunking noise or slipping feel while you hold the brake. Do not drive the car around that's not admitted at car auctions. A small clunk is ok, but If there is excessive noise it's got problems walk away from that one too.

There aren't many things guaranteed in life but if you do the 5 inspection tips mention above it defiantly limits the risks of buying a junk car. What may appear nice on the outside is not always what is on the inside. Spend some time looking over the cars, enjoy it and really know what you are bidding on before you start to bid on it.

One more thing you should keep in mind when browsing for any car. Do not get connected to a car survey the guide lines and avoid the auction cars with the problems as referred above. There is many great automobiles out there you will find what you want if you just look hard enough. Even if you depart an auction empty handed there is slew of auctions every week in every state across the country. Happy car shopping! Enjoy your search and have fun!
