Anyone ever went to this? I'm in the market for a beater/commuter car and was thinking about checking this place out on Saturday. But it costs $30 to get in. Don't want to waste my time if it is full of completely shitty cars. Worth going to?

as long as you can outbid the nigerians i wish you luck.

I take it you had a negative experience there? How would you say the car quality was? Would you go back?

I would but dont plan on getting a honda/toyota for less than about half of what they are worth. I hadnt been to an auction in a while and i was fucking amazed at the prices people were paying for cars. but this happens at every auction. just find something on CL and be happy with it.

The nigger said he was looking for a beater not a show car.

5/1/2011 9:50:22 PM

first post

I am in search of a beater as well. This might be the avenue I take...

5/5/2011 8:47:27 AM

are you sure it costs $30 to get in?

5/5/2011 9:01:15 AM

It requires a $30 annual membership to get in (with one allowed guest). I decided not to go yet. Please post your experience if you end up going.
