When comparing prices at the auctions you need to:
- add 16% to the final (winning) bid to get the actual cost from the auction.
- If you are not close to an auction location, you need to remember that you only have 3 days to collect it, which may cause additional costs.
- The vehicles currently coming into the auctions are almost exclusively vehicles returned from units after they were re-equipped with G-Wagens.  The result is that they mostly have high kilometres or are in poor condition.
- Vehicles at the auctions are not registered.
While there may be poor units available on the civilian market, others have low kilometres or have had full or partial re-builds shortly before being auctioned.  The first owners after auction, often spend time, money and effort repairing all the little deficiencies that were on the vehicle when they acquired it.
