auctions
a person told me about a government auction on the internet so i went and checked it out www.stateauctions.org
is this even a true place? i mean the cars are going for so cheap. like i seen an 04 audi tt w/ 1500 miles go for $2500. there has to be something wrong w/ the cars don't u think? me and my friend were thinking about buying a MKIV supra off there and messing w/ it a little bit. the only thing is that u have to be a member to look at the cars for sale and it's $35 for a year. does anyone know if this is just to scam u out of $35 or is this a real place has anyone bought something off of a government auction?

i dont know about the auction sites...since it is a .org...i dont think it is a scam...but as for government auctions..they let cars go for madd cheap, i saw brand new luxury cars go for 15-20g's when they should be like 35-50g's its insane..but thats how i got my mk3..got it real cheap with really low miles and in pristine condition

mmm just be careful with that..not sure if there are any supras on it... let me know if there are..i know these auctions are stuff that are repoed, or taken from drug dealers and whatnot...so its most likely gonna be luxury cars... like caddies, lexus's, infinitis, acuras, stuff like that...some sports cars but not many...like you def wont see many supras or ferraris....
