Process and steps in car auction?

[Johnathan]

Hi, i was planning on buying a car from the car auctions, never been to a car auction. So i wanted to ask what is the process and steps to bid and buy the car. If my bid was accepted do i have to pay upfront at the moment or can i come back another day? do the cars have car fax, and all the details and history of the car? will i be able to test drive the car? and when i do buy the car, do the representative walk you through the paperwork etc?

Thanks
