Auction

$500 cars for sale? I know, I know it sounds kind of fishy. Like a scam or some of the details are left out such as the car needs a motor or only starts when the wind is blowing easy. But it really is possible to get a good running car for $500. I'm not saying it going to be your dream car or win any awards but it will get you from point A to point B.

Where can I buy these cars you might ask. Well the answer is pretty simple and probably one you heard of before... go to a car auction! Sure you can get $500 cars from places like craigslist or the tow yard. But, trust me, they are not even worth $50. Most of the cars there have serious mechanical problems that will be a pain in the butt to repair. Once I even saw a car that was in a fire for sale. Who in their right mind would want to buy that? Not me for sure.

So if you want a pretty cheap car, go to your local car auction. Since we're just about in a recession, the amount of repossessed cars in on the rise. Meaning their loss is your gain. Now it's easier than ever to get a good car for thousands less than what you would pay at the dealership. A few days ago one of my co-workers got a pretty hot car at a car auction for only $600. I know, I know... that's not $500, but it's still dirt cheap!

You're best bet when looking for a good, cheap car that isn't going to start smoking after you drive down the street is to join a car auction site. But, be careful because the majority of them are scams. Thankfully MyCarAuctionReview.com has put together a list of the best sites you can join that are trustworthy in addition to having thousands of auction listings with some cars even selling for as low as $500.
