There are a lot of people who check the papers or go online in search of used car who just do not realize the savings they can make checking out chicago public auto auctions. You can pick up a great car and save big bucks at an auction over buying one at a used car lot or even privately.
When you consider that bids start as low as $200, that there is a huge selection of cars and that you can physically give the cars the once over hoew can you not give it a go? You can even take the cars for a test drive but only on Fridays.
The idea at auction is to pick several cars that you like just in case one goes for more than you are willing to pay for it. Decide how much you are willing to spend before the auction starts and then sit back and see how the bids go. Do not bid too early and consistently as this drives the price up. Let the others do the work and come in before the hammer falls. With a bit of luck you have reached the end of the bidding and you can get yourself a great car at a great price.
