Is this actually a good idea??They have good and new models of cars starting at amazingly low prices.However, are we guaranteed the car works??Can we get a mechanic or test drive it??

You aren't guaranteed anything at the auction.They don't have the resources to mechanically check each one.

HiYou can get really good cheap cars from auctions , you will find thousands of different auction and repo cars of all kinds of models really cheap at http://www.carauctiondeals.comHope this helps

if you need a car its usually a good risk. If you buy there id make sure you buy a toyota or honda cause they are the most reliable.
