Public Auto Auctions

Wanting to buy a car but just can't afford one right now? There is a way and it is easier than you might think. Public auto auctions are full of used cars, trucks and SUVS that can be bought for thousands less than you would pay anywhere else. These are reliable, cheap vehicles and they can be bid on and bought by the public.
Many people think that auto auctions are just for dealers, but that's not so. There are some auctions that allow only dealers, but there are also car auctions going on in every state that are available to the public. These vehicles have been repossessed because of defaults on the loans. In many cases these cars and trucks have very low mileage and there is nothing wrong with them, but the previous owners just could not make the payments.
Other autos you might find at public auctions are government pre-owned or surplus vehicles. These can also be bought dirt cheap and are only a few years old. Government agencies can't be seen driving clunkers around so they buy replacements quite often.
These public auctions are really simple to navigate and aren't really as intimidating as you might think. Arrive early enough to check out the inventory and see what you might want to bid on and then place your bid when the auction starts. There are many live auto auctions going on in numerous cities in every state, so you are sure to find one close to where you live
