I’m Paul Boland, the founder of BidForAutos.com. I’ve worked in the car industry for more than 15 years—selling cars, appraising trade-ins, cleaning vehicles for resale, and watching thousands of people try to figure out how to buy or flip cars without getting ripped off.
Originally from Ireland, I now live in the U.S. and spend most of my time helping people buy smarter at auctions like Copart, IAAI, and Many More. I started this site because I kept seeing people make the same costly mistakes overpaying, skipping inspections, trusting bad listings, or bidding without knowing the hidden fees.
BidForAutos exists to help people who want real, no-nonsense used car buying advice, especially when it comes to salvage auctions, title issues, flipping for profit, and choosing the right car for your budget.
My experience is hands-on:
I know what a clean title should look like—and what sellers try to hide.
I know how auction listings work, and how many are worded just well enough to get you into trouble.
I know how to find good cars, fix what matters, and walk away from junk.
BidForAutos is built for:
The blog is full of step-by-step guides, real-world tips, and vehicle comparisons based on current market prices, actual auction listings, and what I’d recommend if you asked me in person.
You’ll also find:
I’m not trying to be an influencer. I’m just sharing what works, what doesn’t, and what I’ve learned after 15 years of real experience in the car world.
