Default trust cars from auctions?

1st time buyer. Found '95 Coupe, 2 owner, 27251 miles for $12986.
Car looked good as did CarfaX, but the GM dealer bought it at auction.
Should I be leary ??

Dealers buy from auctions all the time.
They will put up their excess inventory for auction and buy other cars at the same time.
It's kind of a "clearing house" for their unsold inventory.
Just be diligent in your inspection for any issues the car may have, as with a purchase from anyone.

Default inspection vital

C3 Starship, thanks for the info. Everyone I've talked to says a good, thorough inspection is a must. As a new buyer who knows squat, I'll
have a professional inspection before I buy.
