Indy Guy. No I have not been to the one in Ocoee. The one in Manheim PA is huge. They do 30 to 40 thousand cars a week there. That is there original location. I was there on a Friday a few months ago, and they did over 12,000 cars that day. They have 44 lanes, 2 auctioneers each lane, and two new cars every 30 to 45 seconds in every lane. Yesterday I picked up the catalog for today and they have 9000 cars going today. I didn't buy anything yesterday, everything was going to high. I am looking for a higher end car and they only do those in large quantities on their highliner day every two weeks, so will try again on 2-18. I will pick up a Lexus ES350, Mercedes E320, or E350 or an Infiniti M35x. But I will only pay 60% to 75% of retail maximum. Any more then that and your better off to get a certified one from a dealer to get the 100K warranty. Yesterday they were getting 90% to 95% retail. The biggest issue at the auction is that you can't drive the car. You can look it over, start it, pull a car fax, but that's it. So you need to be ready to spend a few additional $$ on it when you get it home. I will find one in the next few trips up there. It is a fun and interesting experience to watch it though.
