This is when the auctions begin. The car auction offers more affordable cars. Generally, within the vehicle market, they are undervalued.
For this reason, auction cars are cheaper both when buying and when selling (after leaving the auction). Like everything in life, there are pros and cons.
In them you can buy cars and buy motorcycles at very affordable prices, especially for those who want to buy a vehicle for work.

How to avoid scams and auction problems
I’ve bought auction cars and read a lot of things that could make us lose money. And losing money is not our goal, right?
I will give my personal experience. The first tip is to avoid buying a car from the DETRAN auction only online. I bought one and when I arrived to pick it up it didn’t have good tires, NGV kit had been stolen, etc. In the end, with a lot of sweat, I managed to break even on the investment.
Anyone who wants to enter car auctions to make money should have the support of a mechanic and go to the auction in person to see the vehicle (car or motorcycle) they are wanting to buy.
Private auctions are calmer in relation to this (parts theft). These are auctions of company fleets that are being renewed or cars that have not paid their financing.
In this case, they are cars that were running and generally there are no problems with either the engine or the bodywork.
Avoid fake auction sites
The ideal is to type the address directly into the browser of the website name. If you click on links that will play on this site, then check that it is the real address.
Sites can mask the name of the link, but not the URL you access. In other words, I can create a link to google.com and make you go to another website. Stay tuned.
I will give you a list of reliable car auction sites (motorcycles or cars).

It goes without saying that we are not responsible for auction sites. We are just informing you of its existence. We are not part of these sites.
It is worth remembering that generally only DETRAN auctions arrive in our hands without documentation debts. It is important to read the auction notice to resolve this doubt. Some auctions sell cars with IPVA in arrears and you will have to pay in addition to the value of the vehicle!
It is completely legal for you to buy cars at auction. There is no problem according to the law. Also pay attention to local news sites in your city. They usually report auctions near you in your city!
