Is buying a car on auction worthwhile?

Buying through car auctions can mean getting huge discounts on a vehicle. This is the primary reason why people go to auctions. You're likely to pay far less than the real value of a vehicle through auction. However, there are some people that go to car auctions for parts. At Capestar we use a comprehensive 125-point vehicle inspection checklist. Prior to auction day, view available cars.

Can I purchase the vehicle before the auction?

Should you wish to immediately buy a qualifying vehicle that is advertised before the auction, you may make an offer to buy that vehicle by contacting our one of our Preauction Sales Coordinator. We may accept your offer at any time before the auction, being 15h30 the day prior to the auction. At conclusion of the Sales Agreement, we will withdraw the vehicle from the auction.
