it would be cool if someone had an "in" with carfax and could get a stat on what % of vipers have an accident in history, and what % have a salvage or rebuilt title.
Bill, i wouldnt say stay away from auctions of all types. Many times a dealership of brand A will get a trade-in from someone with a brand B. They will send it to auction and it will usually get purchesed by a dealership that exclusivly carries brand B, or a used car lot. Its a simple transaction that usually has nothing to do with the condition of the vehicle.
