Most auctions are for dealers only and in person only.

The only auctions that make even the slightest sense for online are nearly new "program cars" sold ONLY to specified brand dealers.

(Ford dealers ONLY can buy ford Program cars, ditto for the other brands)

Sorry, there is no "sitting on my butt" and buying a car for thousands below retail.

Check Copart auction. It has yards in Michigan. It's an online auction. Copart has a lot of salvage and used trucks. It's a dealer auction but you can get access through one of the official brokers.
