Default Be careful. Cheap cars get cheap money. The auction is filled with very experienced buyers

If a car goes way low, there's a reason for it.

I looked a an S8 while I was there. It went for $14K with 80K milesm and I was pissed that I missed it.

Then I went to post-sale and saw it. It was a piece of sh*t. They could not have paid me to buy it.

That doesn't mean you can't get a deal or save some money. But cheap cars get cheap money, and good cars get good money...it's that simnple.

I agree with that 100 percent but it is better when it is a cheap car coming from someone who does not know what he has

There's always the one-in-a-million deal, but they're not common. Just do your homework, that's all!

Default The "auction" is very vague.

What exactly is this "auction" and where is it? I hear bruce and the dealer that I bought my A4 from always talking about this so called "auction", along with a friend who got a very nice s4 from this "auction". Clue me in please!

Default I think they are talking about the Manheim dealers only auction in PA,but...

I am not sure.Will wait for their response.All you need to buy from the auction is a friens with a dealer license.
