I dont know anything about bidding on cars even though I sell them
I think if you just follow the basic rules of sniping you should be fine.
* Set a relevant lead time. I personally use the default 5 seconds but then I am from Australia and we dont seem to have too much of the Sunday Nite Blues. Also watch for auctions ending on the hour, half hour and quarter hour. The others have recommended an extra 15 seconds ON TOP of your usual then.
* Decide the absolute MAXIMUM you are willing to pay for the item you are interested in and bid that bid in Auction Sniper. You have to find the balance between the amount that makes you go "DOH! I would of paid that" and "ARGH!! I cant believe I paid that much - what a duffus". Then hopefully you will come up trumps and the only time you will lose is when someone else is willing to pay more.
* Auction Sniper will beat any other poxie sniping program out there - just remember *its not he who bids last but bids the highest* that wins the widget. It doesnt matter if you snipe in the last millisecond if a proxy bidder has a bit more tucked up his sleeve than you do.
Good Luck
