What To Avoid At The Car Auction

Tips on how to avoid buying a damaged car at a car auction

A car that has been rebuilt due to water damage, accident, or fire, will be sold at twenty to thirty percent of the market value of the vehicle, which is why it is so important to run a Carfax report before buying an automobile from a car auction or from anyone for that matter, so you do not get ripped off!

Here are some signs of damage to avoid when buying a car auction vehicle:

Uneven tire wear on all of the tires, which is a sign of a big problem or a possible wreck; disk brakes that are rusty, which may indicate that the car has been flooded or sitting for a long amount of time; new carpet for no reason; doors that do not line up properly with the body of the car; and variations in the paint thickness.

Real Estate Auction

What are seized property auctions and why are they so cheap?

A seized property auction is when the owners fail to pay the mortgage on their home and the lender repossesses it in a process called foreclosure. Banks, private lenders and the government foreclose on hundreds of thousands of homes every year and conduct public seized property auctions in an attempt to recover some of the money.


What types of seized properties are in the auction?

Virtually any type of real estate can be auctioned off: single-family houses, multi-unit houses, apartments/townhouses, commercial properties, mobile homes, land, timeshares, vacation and rental properties.


Is it possible to get financing when buying a seized property at auction?

Yes, you get access to a wide variety of financial institutions that specialize in providing mortgages for seized property auctions.


What kind of prices are seized properties going for in my area?
