• Answer:

  Its a piece of crap that's used to draw you into the auction where you buy something so they can make a fee. (Or someone thats 18+) Most cars at public auctions look like great deals but are really big problem cars. I used to get more at dealer only auctions than public auctions. The only buyers at public auctions are clueless public and a few really, really low end dealers who have full time mechanics. You cant buy a car from a business at 16. A private party might let you. You need cash upfront. And stay away from auctions. The car probably has a bad engine, bad transmission or both or it would have sold long ago.
