Question by Kenneth the Menace: Buying & Selling used cars, what do I need to do? smog check etc..?
I want to start going to the Car Auctions in LA, & buy little cheap cars & sell them on the street. Maybe make like $ 100 at a time, I want to know what do I need to do before I can re-sell a car that I have just bought. Do I need to get it smog checked, & registered even though I don’t plan to drive it?

Question by burger123@ymail.com: What are the most important things to check at an auto auction?
I want to go to a government seized auto auction to get a car. Since your not allowed to test drive these cars, I definetly will bring along my mechanic to look at the car. What are the most important things for him to check since the car is sold “as is”?

Also, most of these vehicles are newer (2000 or newer) so they’re not very old.
Somebody here said to not buy a car that is clean on the outside because it usually means that it is in bad mechanical condition. Why is that?

Look underneath the car and see if there’s leaks. Test every single button/mechanical/electrical component. Also see if you’re alowed to turn the engine on. If you can, turn it on, and listen for any weird noises. Shift into different gears, or into reverse, see if theres any grinding noise, or maybe if the engine starts to do minor revs uncontrollably (throttle linkage malfunction) good luck

For Your Cheap Cars, Check Government Auctions

July 10th, 2010 Monica No comments

If you want to buy a car, and you do not have a big budget, then believe me, this short article will we top interesting for you not because I will give you a direct discount but because I’ll share with you the secrets of stolen cars and more organized by the government without you even knowing it. This is not something evil or illegal, but you have to discover this little known information.Ok, I cannot keep the secret longer what I’m talking about is government auto auctions. The task is even much easier those days because you can do your job and your search online on the internet. Simply find a reliable and official website that will show you the cars or the place to go to profit from government auction cars all around the country. You will certainly have a local “dealer” in your area. See if there is a car that is interesting you or if the price meets your budget then note the address and the day. Most of the time there is schedule and auctions are done on a regular basis. It means that you have an opportunity to see how it works.Here is how the government does it: they seized cars that have improper documents or that are illegally stopped on the road and of course the cars that are stolen. Most of the time, the cars are returned to their owners, or they come directly to take their vehicle in exchange of a penalty. The best part for you is when the owner of the auto is silent and nobody comes to take back the auto. After a certain period and after multiple contacts, the local authorities take your car and put it up for sale. And then you are in the government auction cars.Another point in your favor with these cars is the fact that you do not have any trouble or any more formalities to do. Everything is cleared and ready to use with zero hassles. You are also one hundred protect if suddenly the owner wants to get back his car. You are protected by the law in this last case that’s why there is a certain period before those cars are officially for sale. If I can give you a final recommendation, go for a luxurious car because with the high discount and bargain, you’ll possess all the gadgets and accessories at a very unfair price. In this situation government auto auction is the best deal against normal used cars.
