I went one time... never again. Car dealers are there and if it's a good deal.. they'll buy it up. I found the prices went for what you could buy them for directly... plus it's a long day to go do those things... I hope your experience is better than mine

With how little you know about the cars, I saw a lot more risk than reward every one I've been to. Ymmv. Remember the additional house cut on top of whatever you bid... And if applicable credit card fees and the like.

I'm looking for a fleet maintained vehicle. That's a little disheartening to hear about the dealers. Well, hopefully I can get a fleet truck or Tahoe.

I casually watch the Gov Liquidation, Iron Planet and Washington State auctions and am continually amazed at how much items, especially vehicles and trailers, end up selling for in this area. Makes no sense.

This one is a local for me. It's in Kenmore, at the north end of Lake Washington. They seen to have a lot of vehicles from city, county, police, and companies like PSE.

Bought a small truck at an auction once - what a turd.
It's where a vehicle goes when a small-time dealer can't see it. |

Well, it was an informative trip. I'll probably be attending the next one in April.

James Murphy's auction can be hit or miss. Usually a lot of cars but it's open to the public and on Saturdays so can be a shit ton of people there. Less likely to get a steal. But you could still get a decent vehicle for a decent price. Get there early and look over whatever it is you want very well.

One bit of advise: when you go to the auction to buy a car, it is best not to buy 3. The Mrs wasn't too thrilled.
Come to think of it, my dad came home with 3 once. The results at home were the same. |

My wife said she was glad she came with me, otherwise I probably would have come home with two Police Harleys. She was correct.
