(click on dates to see what will be there)
It’s a public Auction, alls you need is a drivers license to get in and be over 18. Bidding on all cars, trucks, motorcycles starts at $300. If no one bids you get it fro $300 (plus tax I think)..
Things to keep in mind when bidding -
-You can't sit in the cars and no key is supplied (so you cant see mileage or pop hood).
-They do not know if the title is clear or even if the car runs.
-You have to have the car towed and paid for in full by 8pm that day (there’s tow truck guys for you though)
-You’ll wait about 1 month for title to show in mail
These are the cars towed from people not having insurance or registration. I've heard no horror stories like you would expect from the above statements. My buddy got a 99 explorer with 90k on it for 700 bucks w/ clean title.

I'm a former PPA employee, and have seen some serious deals come through those gates.

There is a Manheim auction in Hatfield on 309. Not sure if it is public though.

There's one right down the street from me near the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge.

If I came down with some dealer used car tags can I drive them home? Like after I pay do I get keys at the end or the keys come with the title 4-6 weeks?

At the PPA auctions You have to get a lock smith to get a keys made on your own time. You cant drive the cars home from the lot no matter what, has to be towed unless you have a trailer.
