So my friend showed me a place where you can buy cheap cars from the auction with many different titles. So after looking around at different cars I looked up S4 models and saw some go for as low as $2500 with some to no body damage at all. Some have low miles some have high but overall you could get your self a cheap S4 and save lots of money. Look it up and see what you think? Im thinking about upgrading this summer after selling my car. WWW.COPART.COM

 

Luxury cars always go for cheap in auto auctions, thats nothing new.

 

WOW, I wish I lived closer to these states that have these cars... HAHAH i could create a monster for very little money:P.

 

Buyer beware. These are theft recovery and salvage title cars. If you plan on keeping the car -forever- then by all means, go for it. But remember, first you have to win the bid (you'll never get a good condition S4 for $2500), then you have to fix it and get it inspected and passed by your state. When you're all done, you have a car with a permanently DMV-branded title. With CarFax as a number one resource for many used car buyers, it will be a very hard sell.

 

Tweaked you are right. Its all about when when you will buy your car. I just thought I'd share that with everyone and show them that there are ways to get cars very cheap. I also thought that this forum had a lot of repair inclined people so a little body damage or a little fix here and there would not be a big deal. A lot of my friends have dealer licenses and they guy cars all the time. Sometimes cheap sometimes not so much sometimes clean title sometimes salvaged. There are many different titles you can buy on there they are not necessary "Theft recovery and salvage title cars". One of my friends bought 2 RSX Type R blue and white one for $4500 with 45k miles little front end collision and the other $6000 with 30k miles on it with no damage just some scratches and broken headlights. Anyways my point is auctions are a good place to buy a nice car for very cheap ONLY if you willing to put little money on it and time. Im going to be looking for S4 this summer and hoping for a good purchase.

 

tweaked is right 100%

fools gold, no doubt you think you are getting a deal, but you end up putting way more money into something that can never really become worthy of the price. You'd have a better time affording a new or certified used car than trying to polish a turd.

It's true many of us have put a TON of money into our own cars but at the end of the day we can rid ourselves of it in a pinch, you go down this road you are committed to that car until you part it out and have the shell hauled away.

It's less of a headache in the end

 

i don't like copart. i'd find a dealer who will take you to manheim for an auction.

 

A wise man once told me: What happens when you polish a turd? You get **** on your hands.

 

Manheim is good, but often expensive. People know what they are doing at those auctions and they are usually clean cars. When I was looking for a GTO, Manheim had a bunch, all of them were asking way too much. But, you are generally going to get a much nicer car there as dealers buy from Manheim, so they need premium cars to flip.
