Question Anyone ever go to car auctions?

Well I finally got a real engineering job.... only problem is I don't have a car. I've been stuck borrowing my gf's and family members cars to get to and from work. I'm pretty short on cash, looking to spend around 2 grand for the car. Not looking for anything in particular, just something decent that will get me around and has A/C.

I've been looking at some auction websites in NH www.interstateautoauction.com and another one i can't find right now. Has anyone gone to one of these before? Or better yet, has anyone gotten a decent car there for cheap?
I also don't really feel like hassling with used car dealerships so I thought this might be a good alternative, any input is appreciated.

As most of you know I'm pretty mechanically inclined so I'm not worried about fixing stupid little things, I just don't feel like putting a ton of cash into a car I just bought.

I know of 2 separate places that do weekly auctions so I have been checking those pretty regularly.
