Default 350Z at auction.

Greetings folks! I'm looking into buying a 350Z, and came across an auction. I'm really not sure about this method of buying. Can any of you folks share any car auction experiences? Whether good or bad, I'd like to hear/read from you.

Another thing, I've noticed some vehicles have rebuilt/salvage titles, is there any big deal buying one of those?

And I really don't care to resell in the future

Auction experience? You get what you pay for.

The issue of salvage or rebuilt titles has been discussed a lot on the forums, do a search and see what you can find. Generally, if the car checks out OK, buying a car with a salvage title can be fine. Keep in mind that the value of the car is only about 1/2 that of an equivalent car with a clean title.

If you want z car from the auction, go to manheim, not the copart.
if you want a bunch of parts for your car, then you go to copart ))).
