You need to get to know the used car manager at a dealer. He is normally the guy who goes to the auctions. The guy I know is actually the manager of the dealership. I tell him what I am looking for and the price range and he keeps an eye out for a GOOD one. If he finds a car or cars that fit the bill, he then calls me from the auction describing it (color, miles, equipment, condition, etc) to see if I am interested in it. If I want it and if he gets it for the target price or under he calls me back and tells me when the auction will be delivering it to the dealership. My cost for all this - $500 over auction cost. He'll run it through the shop if I want and give me costs for any reconditioning or repairs. AND, If I decide I don't like it I can walk away and he will put it on his lot to sell.
I've bought 4 cars this way and will most likely buy more this way.
