What type of auction? I've heard municipal and police auctions are good if you can get in on them, some coke heads who worked for my dad bought like 12 non running (propane) city busses for like 6 grand and then scrapped them for around 9

Dealer only. Getting into dealer only auctions is one of the few job perks of working car sales

No catch. It was a small dealer only auction. A local Mercedes dealership had taken it as a trade in, and sent it to auction because of it's age

It came up near the end of the run, most people had already left or were loading up their sales already. Only one guy even tried to throw up a bid against me

Well, its a W210 so you'll have to live with those... "pretty"... headlights

No rust or faded paint anywhere?

Confession: I actually like the bug-eye headlights.

No rust (although I have never seen a W210 in the US with rust issues), no fade. The paint is almost showroom condition. Hell even the head lights lenses are completely clear, no haze or fog at all

Seems like a pretty good deal, even if you have to fix a few things you'll be in under the normal sale price.

A friend of mine is getting a dealer license soon (he runs a tuning shop and only needs to sell a few cars a year to get one), and it'll be hard to resist taking advantage of it.

The 4Matic will probably fail at some point and those are fuck expensive to fix but at that low mileage you probably don't have to worry about that for quite a while.

Are dealers auctions really that awesome? I have a family friend who is offering to take me to one, any advice fam? My research told me that to find a clean road-worthy car you probably won't be paying much less than private party price anyways, although Manheim does include reports about everything on the car

It's really fucking frustrating, that you, one of the biggest faggots on this board, manages to get a score like that.

I mean I like your dealership stories but you still should be shot by niggers for everything else you've done.

Even though I know 4MATIC refers to the 4WD system, every time I see the name all I think is "oh boy, a 4 speed automatic." They really should have called it something else.

Like occasionally provide AutoChecks for people and give great financing/dealership advice?

Yeah, LPG is a complete fucking asshole, totally.

In all seriousness, shut the fuck up and leave you retarded faggot. LPG has done more positive shit for this board than any other trip barring VINbro.
