We have purchased 8 cars from Interstate Auto in the last 2 month & have been very happy with the service & vehicles in general. Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting & talking to Shaun, the Assistant Manager. He was very helpful, friendly, and worked with us on an issue we had. Evelyn has also been a wonderful help as we are new to buying auction & they have been wonderful about helping us through the process. We look forward to continued business with them.

This was a unique experience of purchasing a car. Even though I was not able to narrow down on what vehicle I wanted to buy. I did find this place to be pleasant. The people who worked there were very nice to me. I would definitely come here once I am ready to purchase a vehicle.

Everything was pretty good. The People who got us registered were friendly and nice. I gave 4 star because the woman handing out the keys for the test drives was not friendly and her attitude was not pleasant. She acted liked she hated her job and didnt want to get out of her seat. Maybe next time, put a friendlier member at the test drive window.

The customer service was good but keep in mind that these appear to be cars that will not sell on a lot anywhere and thus they need to go to an auction. I bought a car for $3000 in January and have spent $7000 on repairs in less than a year. It is a very unique buying process and they are good people there but the "It only needs a few hundred in work" is not a good way of thinking when you approach buying an auction car.

Response from Interstate Auto Auction:

Thank you for your review Steve. This is an excellent review for people online to be made aware of the reality when you buy a used car at a auction. It is rare, but you can get a car that needs more allot more work than expected. Auction cars are all trades ins mainly from New England and when you trade you car in whatever condition its in is what the Auction gets it in. The best thing to do is if you have issues going over $1,000 and you are nervous give us a call and before you continue to do work we can offer referrals to honest mechanics that can save you time and money when it comes to fixes things for a lower price. We may not be able to stop a car from needing fixes but we can make sure you our not getting ripped off. I am not saying that is the case with Steve. Now although this car needing $7,000 is out of the ordinary, it is fair to say that anything and everything is possible when you buy a used car. One thing goes then another, a few more things and another. Of course make sure your mechanic is not taking you for a ride as well. With over 60,000 cars sold in 10 years we have seen it all and if $7,000 was the normal fix on all those cars no one would ever come back to buy a car again. It just does not makes sense to have people put thousands and thousands into a car no one wins, but if you bought it for a good price and had to puts hundreds or even a little over a thousand dollars (BMWs Mercedes ect type cars) thats more the reality of about 99% of the cars at our auction. Steve is right you should never buy a used car through an Auction and think it will only need a few hundred dollars in work. That is why we put average costs to fix the cars are $300-$900 incase you have $900, but $7,000 is super extreme. The more people who read this and understand that anything and everything is possible with used cars the better. Great review Steve we appreciate you taking the time to help educate customers so that they know exactly what to expect.

Sean was outstanding once the email glitch was identified and corrected. He answered all of my questions and while the vehicle I was interested in was sold, he gave me leads on others I might like. Still trying to find a car that meets my needs, and will definitely look at Interstate.

I found this place on cars.com and live in CT. When you go it is a big parking lot at a flea market with a quite a few cars. They let you test drive which I cannot find anywhere else for Auction thats why I tried it. After buying three vehicles over the past few months I can tell you that the prices are the best I can find, but you have to put money into most of the cars. I can also say that one of the cars had a bad motor and they refunded my money and were surprisingly nice. They told me that other sellers bring the cars and the cars are on consignment so they actually do refunds because they dont own the cars. When I bought the last car it needed nothing. Strange, but I think its more about luck. I would def tell everyone DO NOT buy a car without test driving EVER. Almost every car has a check engine light and needs some work and they dont gaurantee it will pass inspection. Once you know these things it is really helpful. I will never buy a car here online without checking it though. The difference between on honda civic and another can be night and day with little in the price. Meaning you save allot more when you test drive in repairs. This is a great place for people who need a cheap car and dont mind fixing it up.

Buying like a Dealer is not for all. Feel Free to Pause & Imagine Yourself buying like a Dealer. Prices lower than anywhere saving you thousands. Of course after you buy, fix the issues that average $300-$900 general sedans (double the range for SUVs, Trucks Luxury Cars). Thats the key, Buy Low, Fix the issues & save thousands. This is your chance to turn the tables. Save thousands doing it yourself or pay thousands more & have a dealer do it for you? Its your money, its your choice. Lic # 5037 ; NHLIC #2951
