You used to be able to, but the devs changed the bidding ai at the auction house to that you either lay what the car is worth, or slightly over

It's possible for cars found in barns

At the beginning it was possible to get big profit (up to 50 000$) for buying certain cars at the auction and selling them right in your garage without doing anything, but that was patched out of the game. Now you can only get some money from barn founds (between 200-2000$) if you have the perk activated which shows you how much the car is worth.

For the cars in the junkyard you have to pay always more than they are worth.

Its still possible to buy a car for less money than its real value in the auction, but it happens rarely. And the profit is usually not bigger than 2000-2500 $. The time you will waste bidding is more valuable than the 2000$ you will get.. And yes, you need to have the perk which shows you the real value of the car.

really the best way to make money (tho its involved) is to buy cars from the junkyard and rebuild them. Keep in mind your results may vary (I edited the configs so just about all cars spawn in the junkyard like in real life).

sometimes i'm buying cars on auctions for less money than its real value. but i happens 1 for a 10 cars? but it can give nice cash. for example, 4 stars zonda, buying new body parts, new interior, repair body, cleaning interior, sell parts that was left and sell car - can give even 150000 $ of profit :)
