sometimes there good to buy from and sometimes not...alot of repo's are not taking care of good. most of them are in poor condition..but then you get some that are kept well..but buying it from a repo actuion you usually get the car very cheap or gotta pay whats left on the loan...in 98 i bought a 95 civic ex 4door from a repo auction that had 45,ooo miles, blue book value was $12,000, i got it for $5,000(not including tags/titling)..also i work for a reposession insurance company so i usually have the inside scoup on these things
