I own a used car lot and I started off and still use http://tinyurl.com/yehfun I find new and used cars at a good price.
When ever you go to a car auction, here are some tips :
Check the fluids. Oil should not have the"milky" look, as that shows water in the oil. Check the transmission fluid. It should be red and not smell burnt.
Start the car, with the parking brake on, and your foot on the brake, put the car in gear (automatic) it should go in without a noise or a jerk, both into drive and reverse. With a manual transmission, but it in gear and slowly let up on the clutch to see how the clutch feels.
Listen for abnormal noises in the engine. Walk around the car and look for paint that does not match, or signs of body damage Look for abnormal wear on the tires, which could be a sign of suspension or front end problems.
Set a price for the car. Base your price on what the car would be worth at a retail lot, and deduct the cost of any work it will need. Allow for the value of your time. You also have to allow for the possibility that more repairs will be needed you think!
Good luck

Try doing a Google on companies that lease cars and contact them directly.

Most lease companies send straight to auction as they dont want the hassle of disposing of them direct to the buyer.
Glass and Cap prices are based on auction prices for their trade values. So its no surprise they are reaching them. If your looking to pay below glass/cap you will end up buying junk.

Ring the lease company and ask them what they do with the cars they want to sell, easy.
They will tell you if they sell them privately or auction , and all the relevent stuff.

Do your research and decide what works best for you. Would you like an upgrade in a year or two? Do you plan to keep your car until the wheels fall off? Again, do what works for you, and do lots of research. Best of luck

Many of the rental companys sell directly to the public. The rest of the major players drag them to wholesale auctions. BTW: expect to pay "all the money" for used Toyotas.
