Might be, as the mechanic suggested, a bent rim that caused the tire to go bad. Probably didn't drive it much at all at the auction place, so wasn't much of a chance of the tire getting a leak - but now that you've got it on the road, things are different.

I'd say have the mechanic take another look at it, see if at all he can look at the rim. Sucks to pay money on a car you just bought to fix things, but you may end up having to buy a new one.
