On March 21, 2012 I went to South Chicago Harvey Auto Aution Sign in and was given a bidders paddle and a booklet with the rules and regulation. During the Auction I was reading the papers I was given and did not uderstand on of the Fees Tax and Documentary Fee So Question A couple of the workers many knew nothing. But one told me it was referring to Sales tax which was base on where I lived I told him chicago and he said 10% and Walk off like he was too busy to awnser any more question then I start asking people who just bid question and was told I couldnt talk to his customers and to get a Dictionary if I didn't understand the paper work. I know I should have left then. I didn't have any attention on buying anything after that but another worker kept asking what I was looking for so I told him a mini van so they brought in some mini vans and kept pressuring me to Buy so on one of them they went all the way down to 2000 for a 2002 chevy venture that sounding good and looked good to I shock my head and they took me to the back they told my husband he couldn't come I put 600 down and ask him what was left and he said what every left when you subtract 600 from 2000. So the next morning when I went in I was told I had $1128.00 worth of fees and I was able to start car it look different sound different and had 177,000 miles on it so I ask if I could get repairs - or and exchanged and was told no! So I purchase the mini van and it HAS Many Problems the first thing is the wheel is about to fall off cause the tape the bottom of the mini van up that is RUsted out and painted over it and I gald I made it Home saftey But THIS is Not RIGHT!!!

YOU All are right I didn't Do my research and when I didn't understand the fees and I should have left the Auction, I Took a Gamble and Lost so I am Complaining and Warning Others who may not KNow somethings Have to been MAde Clear to me, I think I would not be as upset if everything was disclosed clearly But it wasn't I am actually Lucker than most My car drove off the lot just Barely with the wheel about to fall off but I seen other customers that was not able to drive theirs off the lot. Other Customers that was unaware of the HIGH 25%-11% Buyer Premium and the bottom line the ones that go to the auction are low income people who just barley have a enough for a car and are Desperate for a car and don't think clearly that they can't have this dream they are selling Something for NOthing it is not Realistic. I had a WELL Bought Lesson! Still feel RIP OFF BUt Bottom Line its my fault for thinking I could get a GOOD Running Car for Nothing NOT REAL Smart!! DUMB ME!! NOW I KNOW BETTER!!! I WON't DO IT AGAIN!!

I can't believe you went to an auction:
You didn't understand the fees and costs
You Didn't understand that auction cars are dumped at auction for needing repairs beyond that are economically reasonable to fix.
Those who buy inexpensive cars at auction are usually recyclers after parts.
You didn't go once and not buy to understand the process and costs
Auction cars are "as is" unless stated, and You, as the bidder, were warned to check and insure you understood what you are bidding on.
And finally once you ripped yourself off you are complaining about the auction house, they just sold the van, they didn't own it, inspect it, or make any promises on its condition. Any person that has ever gone to an auction knows that the auctioneer uses phrases such as nice, clean, pretty, low milage, runs good and they are not enforceable descriptions under the law.
Buying at auction can be rewarding, next time figure out how it works before you prove yourself foolish on this site.
