Question by Shak: Is it a good idea to buy a used car from a REPO auction in order to save some money?
I’ve been wanting to buy either a Acura Intergra (sedan, auto)or a Honda Prelude (auto),and after considering being able to score a good deal from a REPO, added Lexus IS (auto) series to the list too..
First off , could any of you suggest, if buying from a REPO is a good idea, where and how to start with locating these auction?
I live in Sacramento
Also, How many different kinds of auctions are there anyway?
Second of all, of all the cars listed above, which one would you suggest buying. My budget is around $ 8000.
Every comment would be appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who answers here.

Answer by wayne
First off, all the cars you listed are good cars, buy the one you like.
Far as the repo auction, people who get cars repoed, know its coming. This usually means they slack off on the maintenance. Look to see if the oil has been changed recently and such like that. Someone I know had a car repoed, and did not change the oil for 10 thousand miles. That hurts bad.
What you save from an auction can bite you in the butt in the future. Look for oil change info on the windshield and in the glove box.

i own a repair shop,and sometimes it is a good idea to do this you can save a lot of money on one,but then again you can get burnt real bad also,i,ll give you an example my neighbor lost his job and before he got his truck repo,d he poured it full of sugar,so ever who gets it is going to be surprised,in other cases you can get some good deals though just be real careful when you buy one,there is some real good deals out there you have to watch out though and don’t get burnt ,good luck i hope this helps.
