Public asset auctions

I have never bought one thru one of these auctions but I wouldn't pay much for any seized or repo vehicles. Very risky venture I would say but ya never know might get a good pickup out of the deal. I wouldn't even think bout it unless your very mechanically inclined. A good mechanic can usually figure out within a few minutes the overall condition of the pickup and how's its been cared for, if thats above your abilities I'd stay away.
