Beware of ANY car sold at auctions as there are almost always good reasons why they are there and not elsewhere. Having seen many a used car come from auctions, bought by used car managers who need cars to fill their lots, I can tell you that most are cars that are usually not nice or desireable. Most have been in some sort of minor accident, have bad bodywork with inferior paint jobs and/or have problems. Many are also lease returns and most who lease cars do very little, if any maintenance. Most Certified pre-owned used Volvos were lease returns bought at auctions.
