Choose a Platform
When looking to participate in live salvage car auctions, the foremost thing you need to do is choose a reputable platform. The web is flooded with countless auto auction sites but it goes without saying that they differ greatly in terms of the buying experience they offer. It is, therefore, important to look for an auction platform that is known to deliver an absolutely seamless experience to buyers.
Decide a Model or Category
Most of the cars featured in live salvage car auctions are going at unbelievably low prices, which explains the reason why a lot of people end up making impulsive buying decisions. To ensure that doesn’t happen with you, it is important to assess your needs and decide on at least the category of car that you would like to buy.

Set a Budget
The desire to own a dream machine often pushes people to overspend. It is, therefore, important that you set a budget for the purchase and stick to it. Keep in mind that the buying price of the car will be just one component of the overall expense, as there will also be repairs costs and insurance.
Schedule an Inspection
Although all leading websites hosting live salvage car auctions provide detailed information about the featured vehicles, including multiple photos; it is important to book a slot for an inspection. If you do not have the necessary knowledge to identify automotive issues, you can always hire a professional to carry out the inspection.
Choose an Auction Date
As live salvage car auctions are held for short periods of time, look for the dates on the vehicles you would like to bid on, so you know when they will be held. Most websites hosting live salvage car auctions have a dedicated section on their website, informing readers about the upcoming auctions. You can check the schedule and choose a suitable date.
