These auctions have cars from various other live auctions like the police auctions, the repo auctions and several government auctions too.
Why are cars at dealers more expensive
This is because the dealer has to make a profit on his sales and also for the company he is representing. This is then added to the value of the car and the price which was paid for it by the car dealer when he bought it from the auctioneer. Instead it is much more profitable if you go directly to the auctioneers and buy it for yourself. You will end up caving a lot of money instead of paying it to the car dealers. Vehicle auctions are open to the public as well as to the car dealers. So make use of the opportunity which you can avail of and save yourself a good amount of money.
