Recently I drove by car dealership and could not help but notice a large banner  that states “Lets Face It…Who Has Good Credit, Everyone Approved”. Though there is a lot of truth to the banner one thing is certain buying a car at a dealership is typically not a fast process. There are plenty of car auctions in Los Angeles where you can buy a car in approximately 30-60 seconds!

Dealing with a salesman and the finance manager can be a long unpleasant experience. If your in the market for a quality used vehicle you may want to consider buying at a public car auctions in Los Angeles.

Car Auctions In Los Angeles – Used Car Buying Tips

1. If you have never been to a car auction, I highly suggest to bring your mechanic along to help inspect the vehicle. Most cars offered at auction are sold in “As Is” condition with no warranty.
2. Bring your ipad or iphone and do some research instantly. Take pictures of the car with your phone, log onto websites like Edmunds , or Kelly Blue Book and find out what the current market value is of the vehicle your interested in.
3. Another great resource is Running A Carfax. It’s not free however for a few bucks you can get a great amount of history on the vehicle.
