just curious. stumbled across it a while back. been wondering about em for a while. i read the testimonials and the FAQ section but im a little curious still. has anyone had any experiences good or vbad with these http://cheapcarsearch.com/index.php

also what about those things where u get paid to drive a car that advertises. my mom doesnt work, but whe thinks extra income would be nice so we're debating it right now. just wondering if anyone has experience and how it all (if at all) works
http://cheapcarsearch.com/order_frm06.php

I have heard of this before, but don't know anyone who has tried it. I never seriously considered it either
Those deals are insane, I probably feel the same about all this as you do.

Arin, I would be a little wary of these things. True govenrment auctions will be sactioned by the goverment, I cannot see that these guys have any kind of authorisation. Add to this the fact you have to pay before you can get all the information seems a little dodgy to me.
