Well we definetly put our time in to get good deals. We are there every weekend, rain or shine. Get up at the break of dawn and start driving lol, get there spend the whole day watching cars go through and hope for a good deal.

The key is, something real nice has to be going through in the other lane. It draws the attention over there and all the bidders with money go over there. The case this weekend was a 2005 2500HD ext cab was going through on the other side and took all the big guys over there.

Not a dealer auction, it is open to the public. (but there is alot of dealers there). The thing is now though, the dealers will not bid agaisnt us, because they know when we bid we are bidder on something we want and they arent going to pay what we are going to lol.


So now we have got

2000 bonneville se for 1300
2000 dodge grand caravan for 400
1997 audi a4 2.8 quattro for 1250

Just in the last few months lol. Plus my white bonneville came from there but my sister in law was the original buyer and she paid 475 for it.
