Sometimes buying a used car can be a little frustrating. You might see a car you really want, but its just out of your price range. Or you look everywhere, but you can't find anything worth you while that your satisfied with. That has happened to me quite a bit.
During one of my unsatisfying car hunts, my brother suggested I go to a car auction and see what I can find there. He said he can guarantee I will drive home in a car that I liked.
I went to Adesa, a car auction near where I live. They have a day for you to look at the cars, and they have a day where you bid on the cars. When I went to the viewing day I found a few cars I was interested in. The next day, bidding day, I was amazed at how cheap these cars were selling for! When the car I wanted the most came up for bid I had outbid everyone else and still had 800 dollars left!
I got a really nice car for probably half the price I would have payed for it anywhere else. Check around and see if you can find any car auctions near you. Its worth a trip to see if you can get a great car at a great price like I did.
