I am thinking about buying a car from a auto auction. What is the average price or a range in which cars are usually sold at an auction for? I just want a basic car to get me from point a to point b.
That depends on year/make/model/mileage/condition. Most public auctions for vehicles are not retail quality. The primary source of buyers for these auctions are people that know enough about cars to perform whatever maintenance that is required to get them to run. Is isn’t unheard of to buy a car for $200 or less. But the old saying is true "you get what you pay for." So don’t expect to buy a creme puff. What you buy probably wont even pass emissions tests. Be prepared to spend at least an additional $500 to make it legal.
