Keep an eye on those online auction listings – they’re always adding new cars and trucks. You can usually bid online and check out the vehicles before you place a bid, which is a huge help. Prices can be all over the map, from $1000 to over $20,000, but I’ve seen plenty of decent used cars go for under $3,000 at Kansas auctions.
Just last week I saw a cherry ’05 Camry go for $2,800 – I was kicking myself for not bidding on that one. It was the perfect car to flip for a quick profit.
