Oh there's no doubt he's spent too much on it. Common mistake newbies make at auto auctions is they fail to factor in the auction fees. Without a dealer number you typically have to cover tax, title and license along with additional processing fees regardless if you plan to resell it or even just part it out. Also, auctioneer's fees are typically charged on a sliding scale based on the price of the vehicle anywhere from 15 to 50% of the price. I bid $200 on an 84 in August and the fees totalled $204 making it a $404 car. On a $1000 bid, fees would've been nearly $500. Another thing is the auctions typically only allow a couple hours to inspect the car ahead of time and they don't let you drive them or even give you the keys to start it so you have to assume there's something major wrong with it even if it looks mint. Cars just simply don't wind up on the auction block unless there's something wrong with them and newbies always underestimate the repairs necessary. Everything about an auction is psychological warfare aimed at taking advantage of people to get the greatest price for the seller. The poor sap got taken to the proverbial cleaners but thats his problem, not yours. I suggest you forget about this car. Its not worth your aggravation dealing with a hostile seller and you're liable to get burned in the end too.foonanas said:like i said before he supposed to hve more than 1500 in to after he bought it from an auction.
