Assuming you do your due diligence while looking for vehicles worth considering and understand the bidding process this shouldn't be an issue, especially if you can bring a gear head with you to help you avoid any major issues if you need the help, which most of us do.

Thought it is important to know that you can't simply return the car to the auctioneers if you don't like it or find something is wrong the way you may be able to at a dealership, when you win a car it's yours. The good news is if you bid well you should be able to sell it to someone able to put the work in for about as much as you paid for it in the first place. But if you inspect and do your due diligence the repairs and modification you need and want to make should be as you expect. Do into it knowing you'll need a full tune up at the very least plus anything you find when you inspect it, but set aside a few hundred extra just in case.
