What’s a Cheap Way to Get a Car?
I need to get a car one of these days. I work at home and have been going without, just using my husband’s car, but every here and there I do get tired of that. It gets inconvenient once in a while.
The trouble, of course, is how much even used cars cost. But today I came across a site about government auctions, and that reminded of how I got my first car. You got it, government auction.
At the time I had someone in my family who knew when the auction was. That is, my mother worked for the government agency that was selling off its older cars, so she knew how the cars were maintained as well as when the auction was. This was pre-Internet, for those who might be wondering.
Now, it’s certainly possible to find out when many auctions are on your own. You just have to do the research. But I can also see where having a single resource to search makes a lot of sense.
What impressed me about this site is their section talking about auction scam sites. There’s more than that in the FAQ section, but understanding the difference between legitimate and scam auction sites is important.
I don’t know how soon I’ll be getting a car. But I’m going to be doing my best to remember to check out the auctions to try to save some money when the time comes.
