Been buying at salvage auctions for 42 years, first was a 66 Chevy G10 van. Paid $400, junk yard played games with paying for the title while holding my money, bought it from the ins company for $200 and got my $400 back.

Ok. I'm definitely going to go to a salvage auction if I can hold out. Right now I'm paying something like 20 cents per mile and im driving the very minimum 70 miles a day.
Is there a trick to these salvage auctions? a best time to go?
