List of Public Auto Auctions in Colorado
by Mel Primmer
Colorado has several public auto auctions for individuals in need of a vehicle. At a Colorado public auto auction, inexpensive vehicles can be purchased through a bidding process rather than negotiating with a sales person. Vehicles are available for inspection prior to the sale and interested buyers can find out any vehicle problems during the inspection period. Buyers should be prepared to pay for the vehicle at the auction.

The auction starts at 10 a.m. Individuals interested in buying a vehicle at this auction can attend the preview all day Friday or prior to the sale on Saturday. The auction company accepts checks and credit cards for a fee. All other forms of payment, including cash, money order or letter of credit can be used.
