it can vary. depends what section it's in and it's history. you just gotta pop up at the right time and make the right bid

research first though.

Some people go in and pay alot more than normal.

be very very careful though. you can score a bargain, but you can also end up with big problems. i was workin at a panel beaters a few years ago, guy just bought a GSR lancer from there (evo III style thing) and it came in to get some stuff checked for roadworthy, like had to go over it and take some measurements coz it was a repair job. he paid 18 grand for it, and when we had it up on the hoist, found it had been in a side impact and basically the whole side of the car had been cut down the chassis rail and a new side welded on.

owner is/was left with 18 grand of scrap steel.

problem is there is no real details on the cars, you cant get mechanical inspections etc done, what you see (or don't see in alot of cases) is what you get

yeah as said it varies.

depends which auction you goto, which day you go, who is there etc.

if you get a good day with no dealers then you can pick up good bargains.

last auction i went to was an MGS one, a fair few cars there. it wasnt a big auction, mainly for industrial type things, but the cars that were there went off super cheap.

examples:

2002ish model Ford Territory, under 20thousand K's, immac condition, fully optioned model, went for $12k.

Audi A4, not sure what year, but was fairly recent, went for $6k

having said that, you could go on a day full of traders and pay a price that is totally stupid.

do a bit of research, find out a bit about who goes to what auction, and youll pick up a bargain no worries.
