My two prime targets for Teusdays auction is a 94 Mercury Cougar XR7 fully loaded with 115k miles, and a 95 Ford Taurus GL with 106k miles, fully loaded.
I've been to many auctions before, so I know what to expect. I know what to do and competition typically excites me. I don't have a lot of cash to work with though so I've got to watch it. My business partner will be there as well, he's been doing this for years and knows his cars very well, so along with all of the research I've done and his experience we should be good.
Just starting buying/selling used cars, what I've found is the most fun is contacting a private seller, looking at their car, offering them like half of what they want and leaving them with your number saying "Well, if you change your mind give me a call and maybe we can work something out". They almost always ask too much, spend money on advertising and get frustrated then want to get rid of it, so that's another way to get a good deal.
