Answer:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Yes, it is permissible to buy a car from auction with the intention of selling it to a private owner. And it will be compulsory to pay zakat on the car since it will be bought with the intention of selling it.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
