However, it's importanttokeep expectations in check and know what to look forbeforeattending an auction. Are you going to get a brand newCadillac for$1,000? Most likely not. But you might find a slightlyused pick-uptruck for a few grand less than it's actually worth ora retiredpolice vehicle for a few thousand bucks. With that out ofthe way,let's get started:Previewing Vehicles:Before the auction takes place you are allowed to previewandinspect the vehicle in most instances. At this point, wewouldadvise you to use a mechanic unless you happen to be an expertincars yourself. Even if the auction states that the car issold"as-is", this just means you won't be able to test-drive it,butyou may still be able to inspect it.Often times, the car will also be started up and maybe evenallowedto run with the hood up for several minutes. It's a goodidea tohave a checklist, so you know what to look for.Sample Checklist1. Examine the paint job. If there are excessive dents and dingsforthe car's age, then that will give you an indication of howtheprevious owner(s) treated the car. Also, if the paint jobappearsto be brand new, the car may have recently been in anaccident orhave rust hidden underneath.2. Looking out for body work. Sometimes, you can't tell if a carhasbeen painted or not, but you can buy or rent a paint meter,whichwill reveal this fact right away.3. Look underneath the car to see if there are any leaks.4. Check the tail pipe. If the outer edge is black and sooty,thecar may need a tune-up.5. Bounce the car. This is a good wayto tell if the car needs new shocks. If the car keeps bouncingforseveral seconds after the initial bounce, then the shocks maybeworn.6. If the tires are unevenly worn, this could be an indicationofbigger problems, such as an alignment issue or worse, the carhasbeen hit.7. Check the odometer. If it looks too good to be true, thenitprobably is (e.g. a 10 year old car usually doesn't have50,000miles on it).8. While the car is running look to see what kind of smoke comesoutwhen the engine is revved up. If the smoke is blue there couldbeengine problems.9. If it's possible, ask the guy who starts the car to gothroughthe different gears. If you hear a noise while shifting,therecould be transmission issues.10. Look at the car's engine while it's running. If the motorisshaking, the car might need new motor mounts.11. While the car is not running look inside the radiator tank.Thewater should not be rusty or have a film on it.12. Pull out the dipstick and check the oil. If it looks sticky,thecar may not have been well maintained. If it is brown or gray,thereare some serious problems under the hood. And if it's extrathick,this could indicate a cover-up for some serious engineproblems.**NOTE** This is app was developed by an independent 3rdPartydeveloper, for the purpose of making the useofGovernmentAuctions.org 's resources more convenient andenjoyableon the go.
