What do you guys think of auctions?

there are some close to me and i was thinkiing of goin, hoping to get a steal on a decent car.

i checked out the website and saw an 03 evo and the current bid is only $3100!! im probably geting my hopes up thinking i could snatch it up for under 5 thou but its hard not to.

so let me know what you guys think, stories, opinions.........
