I buy 95% of my used cars online. IMO it is easier to steal a car online than buying at a live auction. Live auctions, live buyers, easier to find flaws in the car, but not so easy to steal one. Online, no live buyers looking at the car, everyone dependent on auction reports, get lucky,every now and then may steal one.
Prefer live auctions, hands on, but in a small dealership, limited personel, easier to purchase online. May find some great buys at a live auction, but give up control of the dealership for the day.
