Anyone ever buy a car from an auto auction?

I really want to swtich to something that seats 7 (really 5 with carseats).  Right now we cannot fit a single person past our 4 in either vehicles.  DH is dragging his feet because he doesn't want to spend any $$, as usual.  We plan to buy our next vehicle at an auction, there is a huge auto auction just a couple miles from us.  They don't seem to have a website or anything.  If you have bought from an auction before, what can you tell me about it.  Besides you need cash,.
