Ever been to a car auction?

[americandream]

Planned to go to a police impound auction this morning, it was closed for a reason still unbeknownst to me. Maybe it wasmeant to be because my brother and I ended up hitting up a car auction in northeast DC afterwards which resulted in both of us leaving with cars. I got aflawless, white 1996 Acura Integra with 119K miles for $2400 while he got a white 1995 Infiniti J30 (all leather interior, bose sound system) with 109k milesfor $2450. The only damper on the morning is that shortly after I bought my car, a 2001 Dodge Durange with 89K miles sold for $2200

So inessance I'm advising you hit up your local auctions if you don't have a car, hell even if you DO have a car, you can get stuff dirt cheap

Lord knows you wouldn't find me driving one but I know they sell for a bare minimum of $5000 in the condition thisone was in. I dunno about you, but I can use a couple G's burning a whole in my pocket

I had $1800 cash and $2000 in money orders and they wouldn't take the money orders

SoI gotta drive my @@! back up there tuesday, pay, then drive BACK to Maryland to mess around with the DMV, then BACK to DC and back home. They take[color= rgb(0, 204, 255)]checks[/color] but not money orders... Go figure...

how do you find out where car auctions are done?

 

[thizzle wigle]

Tow truck companys are better my bro got a 94 civic for 500 but you gotta pay all back taxes and registration so he has to pay another 479 to DMV butthat's still a steal

 

[ridikuloz]

!$*# the police auction... the dealers auction is where it's at.

just got my sisters 06 explorer from the dealer auction. A friend of a friend of mine is a dealer so he hooked me up. Dealer auctions is whereits at. Depending on what you get you might pay a good amount, but you name it they had it. I might go there when my stack gets right.

True story... This just happened in CO

Police auctions and dealer auctions if you got the hookup are very nice side hustles. My dad has been doing it for a while and I'm thinking of getting intoit soon.

 

[ihavemyownopinion]

I heard that they trick you into buying something seemingly good but with all types of defects at car auctions.

 

[scmtkings4]

you dont need hooksup at auctions to get good deals

my friend got his brand new (i think about 22 miles) G35 for $20,000. This was a couple years ago, when the G35 values were higher

 

[meldr]

yeah I handle repos at a credit union and when we send stuff to auction we try for 70% of the trade in... we get more if we send it to a lot but then sit on itway too long when it doesn't sell but at auction the sell in a week or two.

 

[imasoleman18]

ive been wanting to goto one of these is there a website where i can find out when one is happening in my area?

all the ones I've even known of you have to have a license to purchase anything there.

 

[nktran001]

Yeah, i try to go to many as possible. That's how i make my quick couple of G's.

I'll swipe something for $2500+ and then resell it to mainly (not being funny or racist) hispanic people for like $6000+.

 

[lovinit73]

Where can you find these auctions?

I heard they have them for electronics too? Brand new computers, TVs, stereos... Does anyone have any info on those?

 

[nizami23]

Are there free police auctions or do you have to pay a fee or have a license for all of them?
