For those that don't know, The info in the B-J descriptions on line are typically what you find on the 8 1/2 X 11 card on the windshield of the car during the auction. It is a limited description due to space and are generally highlights the seller has given the auction company.

However, at the auction itself the sellers are allowed to have additional information on display as well as mirrors under the car, etc. just as you see at car shows. For REAL buyers that attend the auction with intentions of buying they usually have all the info they need to make a decision. OTOH, there are also a good number of cars there with nothing other than the window card and no seller around you can identify to ask. Sometimes this is because the car may have questions the seller doesn't WANT to answer, sometimes a dealer with many cars there and is also buying many cars and has no time for it, and sometimes it is just inexperience of the seller.

Very true.

And a lot of the informatiom and description about some of the cars are completely false.

B/J only goes off of what the seller says and states about the car.

You still have to be careful!!
