Check the opening hours and give yourself plenty of time. Every vehicle in the sale has an entry form in the window. Make sure you stand in the hall where the auctioneer can see you and when you're ready to make a bid, signal clearly. The auctioneer will acknowledge your bid and then the fun starts, so listen out for rival bids and signal clearly each time you want to up your offer.
Once the bidding has passed any reserve price, vehicles are sold to the highest bidder, so make sure you always stay focused and alert, and you only agree to pay what you can afford. Remember, if you're a registered trader you can also bid online using your mobile phone, tablet or PC thanks to our award-winning Simulcast. At the times when it's not possible to bid online, you can still ensure you never miss out on a vehicle by making a proxy bid. After that, you can take it away.

Research prior to the auction: Some public car auctions will let you have the chance to view the listings before the auction occurs. Many auto auctions have online auto auctions, which makes bidding for used vehicles easy.
After you make a list of the vehicles you are targeting, assess the car's current market value on Kelley Blue Book. Be committed: Once you purchase the used vehicle there are no refunds. So make sure if you are going to bid on a vehicle at auction you are committed to buying it.
This is why it is important to research and plan ahead. Beware of problems: Most of the cars will be cleaned and polished, but do not let the reconditioning deceive you! Remember, used cars at auctions do not come with warranties. Before the bidding, you should be allowed to inspect the car by sitting in it and turning on the engine.
Most auction locations do not allow for test drives. If you have a car-savvy friend, consider bringing them along for a second set of eyes and ears! There may more to the eye on that low mileage Toyota trade-in than meets the eye at auction houses. You can use the VIN to search for a vehicle history report on websites like Carfax.
Vehicle history reports reveal important information on the car, including the previous owners, major accidents or damage, maintenance history, odometer readings, and manufacturer recalls. Set a limit beforehand: After making your list of potential targets and researching their market value, set a limit, and stick to it.
