Question My car just died and I need another one pretty urgently. I don't have a lot of cash to spend and my credit rating is very poor. I have a good friend who knows a lot about cars. It seems like I can getter a better deal at a car auction. Is that safe or do you think I should rather purchase from a dealer?
AnswerHi Jenny
With a poor credit rating, that means high interest, I wish I had more details as to what you consider not a lot of cash or what your hoping to get or wish to happen.
I am not a fan of public auctions as the risk factor is to great unless you really know what your doing, read this link on my website for a better understanding http://www.usedcartips.org/AUCTIONS.html
Again, I wish I had more detail, there are 2 other links I would like for you to read, how bad credit works buying from a dealer http://www.usedcartips.org/CREDI.html
And, where to find a vehicle in your price range http://www.usedcartips.org/TENTHOU.html should something not be clear, feel free to get back to me, if personal details are included, check the make private box.
good Luck
