At a dealer auction, the prettiest cars are usually the first to draw a crowd, which makes them the hardest to make money on. A recent TikTok clip reveals that, since everybody wants the clean, shiny, nearly retail-ready vehicle, auction prices climb quickly and eat up all the potential profit margin.
The clip from GAA Auto (@gaaauto) in Largo, Florida, explains that the real opportunity at any auction is sitting a few rows over, where you can find the cars looking rough enough to scare people away.
