Manheim is definitely the way to go, but its expensive. You can show up and have test drives of potential buys. It is largely online based and you can bid live on cars in any of Manheims numerous nationwide auctions. The best thing about Manheim is that for most cars there is a full condition report that is very thorough. Also if the car is under 100k miles, and you discover a problem after you buy it, they normally will take it back if it was not disclosed before the purchase. Everything over 100k is as is. Also if you plan on driving the car your going to try to sell, make sure you like it because sometimes you have to hold on to them a lot longer than expected to make a good profit.
