Re: Car Auction?

You're new to the scene ?, yer right " lol " and you would like some stories from people whom have went to auctions. I have plenty, let's start with this one.

Unfortunately my daughters boyfriend is already in over his head after paying $5000 for a 02 civic that won't pass inspection due to the frame being bent, cracked & basically patched together . The auction of course sold the car 'as is' & the mechanic on the premesis raved about what great condition the car was in. Being a first time buyer of any vehicle let alone from an auction he was sold because the car looked really nice not knowing what lies beneath. Does he have any recourse to get his money back? He's 20 & in college so can't afford to throw money down the drain. A body shop said it would cost about another $5k to fix the frame! Any advice would be appreciated

It's buyers beware buying from any public auction, only an idiot surfing the internet will end up paying for a registration to locate an auction site or become a member, all advertised public auction sites on the Internet
ARE SCAMS,,, except Vintage.
