I need a car and i was thinking about going to the car auction. I live in St. Louis, Missouri. I was wondering if there is any chance of finding a Mitsubishi Lancer there, or any inport tuner, and how much would it cost?? Please someone help me!!!

You can’t go to most auctions, as they are for dealers and wholesalers only. Open auctions are dangerous, as every car you look at is strictly AS-IS, no promises or guarantees, and any tuner car at a public auction will almost certainly be a piece of crap.
On the other hand, if you have any idea what you are looking for, and you have an understanding of the realities of tuner cars, then a public auction might be a good place to look for repossessed or seized tuner cars. Such auctions always publish a list before hand, so you can check availability. It is possible to get such a car for half the original sticker (mid teens), and score the sh*t for free. Just don’t be disappointed if another few grand are needed to get it reliable.
Bring cash, as banks do not want to play this game.

Create a video blog…instantly.
I found a list of several auto auction and government seized web sites. These sites can probably answer your questions. It looks like they cost a little bit to join, but I couldn’t find any free resources online. Since the inventory is always changing, your signup fee is probably used to keep the site up to date.
