First, if you are just looking to get a vehicle for yourself, then this is a great way to cut out the middle man and avoid the dealership price. Just about every vehicle that is on a dealers lot is marked up about 100% to 200%. This is because they have to make a profit and this is still a fair price compared to the value of the vehicle. They probably paid $1,000 for that vehicle they are selling for $3,000 on their lot.

Well, you can cut that middleman out and go to the state auto auction yourself to get your $3,000 vehicle for $1,000. This is a great way to get a replacement vehicle after you have had yours totaled because you will either spend all the insurance money and get a much better vehicle than you originally had or you will spend less and have some left over with the same quality of vehicle. This is your ticket to saving a ton of money on a vehicle purchase.

Second, you can also use state auto auctions to start your own dealership or to just make a little bit of money on the side. Imagine if you could go to the auctions once a money, purchase 2 vehicles, and sell them both that month for a $2,500 profit. That would be a great bit of extra money and it can be done very easily. Just go and pick up vehicles that are dependable and popular. Then, put an ad in the local classifieds and by the end of the month you can sell it for twice what you paid for it.
