I recently used Car Auctions Cincinnati https://abetter.bid/locations/usa/oh/cincinnati-99018 for purchasing a salvage car, and I must say I had a positive experience. The website is user-friendly, and the information provided for each vehicle is extensive and detailed. It made the decision-making process easier. The site's reliability is commendable; the information was accurate, and there were no hidden surprises. The range of salvage cars available was impressive, and the customer service was responsive. Overall, it's a platform I would recommend based on my personal experience.

Thank you all for the valuable advice! Based on your suggestions, I checked out abetter.bid, and it turned out to be a great resource. I appreciate your help in guiding me towards a reliable platform for buying salvage cars. It made the process much smoother, and I'm grateful for the community's input. Cheers to everyone!
The biggest pro is definitely the price—you can score some serious deals if you know what to look for. Just make sure to do a thorough inspection (even if it's just through detailed photos) and account for potential repair costs. As for sites, Copart and IAAI are the big names I’ve used, but definitely keep an eye on the fees.
If you decide to go through with it, make sure you’ve got a plan for getting the car home. Last time I got one, I used https://www.a1autotransport.com/ to ship it over, and they handled everything really well, especially considering it wasn’t in running condition.
