    Auctions are tempting but, unless its an auction of repossessed finance cars, I'd be wary. They're often the last route to getting rid of a car that won't sell, just to get something for it. Any half decent cars will be picked up by experienced car traders, the dross will be left to newbies and there's no come-back if you get a dud. Not sure about getting cars checked out beforehand but I suspect the opportunities will be limited and will not include a road test.

    No insurance company outside of ROI will touch you - the claims profile in this country strongly discourages them.
