Default To Auction or not to Auction??? That is the question..

Greetings folks. I will be working on a street legal project and am looking for a cheap vehicle. I came across one online, but am not too sure about. Anyone have any experiences with buying cars at an auction? Good or bad, I'd like to hear from you. This is she: http://easyexport.us/carfinder/vehic...=4c054bdec9d5b

The car needs a quarter obviously and maybe the LH end cap, judging by the trunk being out of wack.
Looks like about $3500 in damage including the bumper.

Buying cars at auctions can bring good deals but you can also get a nightmare...
Best to have a pro with you to look at a car you're interested in.
