I would put my money on a funky axle though..
pull the driver's side axle out, give it a 1/3 turn and stick it back in.
fixed vibrations on more than a few front wheel drive cars doing that.

When you bought your car at the auction, was it sold in the "frame damage" section? You are likely had to have your car inspected after auction, was it a reputable shop? Because if it is, then all of your suspension components should be OK, especially if your car doesn't pull to the side.
Like someone said, if you have directional tires, check that they are rotating in the right direction...And take your tires balanced at a nice shop, the one that carries the best balancing equipment (rotating speed at 80mph). Let us know how it turns out.

the car was definitely hit in the front... if you look under your hood you can see that the front support bar (not sure of the name) is a different color than the car is.. it might be possible the frame isnt 100% straight

ok so if the mechs have gone over the alignment, and the tires have been balanced, and the suspension components have been checked out... including the tie rods and all of that has been checked out im guessing there is frame damage on the car .... out of curiousity ummmm have you checked the lugs on the rims ... if one isnt tightend enough or your missing one or something along that sort of lines the car will shake ...
