Default American Auto Auction was a joke..

Okay I decided to go to their "preview" Friday where you can wander around and look at the cars. Absolutely nothing like the commercial. All the cars on the lot were total junk. I mean seriously crap. Beyond just "auction cars" they were borderline junkyard rejects. OKay so you get what you pay for right? WRONG. As soon as you walk in the door, you notice a sign on the door with the "buyer fees and processing fees". The buyers fee goes something like this. If you win a car from, say, $1100-1150, you have to pay an additional $200. If its $1150-1200, its $225 fee and so on. Then you add the $150 processing fee. Suddenly your $1200 auction car is now $1575!
Since upscale is now the way, they have "Buy it now" cars. These are the creampuffs I guess, like a ragged 98 Infiniti I30 with 125k miles for $6000.
Don't waste your time unless you are looking to overpay for a piece of crap.

Its different every week. Some weeks they don't have anything that great. Others they have tons of things you'd be interested in.
