There have been many articles written about police and government auctions, but very seldom are there any specific examples given of the types of repossessed cars you can purchase at them. The government seldom advertises their auctions or the types of items that will be sold at them, so the only way to find out is by doing research on the Internet. The government wants to get rid of it's inventory of foreclosed homes and repossessed cars, but they don't want to spend any money on advertising.
What if retail stores such as Best Buy or Walmart never bothered to publicize their great deals? Do you really think Walmart would even get near the business they get today if they've never advertised? A good portion of many retail stores attract their audience by advertising sales and discounts ahead of time. Police and Government auctions, however, still has a popular following even though the government never spends on advertising the specific items it will be selling. The government doesn't have much of an advertising budget and yet they still manage to quickly sell their merchandise and that's because they have best bargains period. There is a vast difference from the retailer who has to pay for marketing, the cost of the item itself and above that they need to make a good profit. The police and government don't have any of these costs so obviously the savings is reflected in the items price.
To illustrate my point here are a few samples of the repossessed vehicle auctions prices. My research consists of using the highest rated government car auctions site that has been evaluated and reviewed on my own site mentioned in the last paragraph. Keep in mind that these specific items may no longer be available by the time you read this, but you'll still get an idea of the vehicle discounts that are available through government auctions. A sample of 5 vehicles among the thousands available are:
* 2005 Porche Boxster with 14K miles - $5,790
* 2005 X5 BMW with 15K miles - $4,140
* Lexus 2005 RX300 4x4 13.5K miles $6,450
* Subaru 2005 Forester S 14.1K miles $4,320
* Toyota 2005 Corolla LE 12.2K miles $6,350
From what I could see most every make and models was available to choose from. But where do they all these vehicles come from and why are they sold so cheap? They are repossessed vehicles that come from numerous sources. They have been repossessed for many reasons including unpaid debt, neglected taxes, and other legal reasons.
It's a good idea to go to a live auction rather than an online one because you'll have more time and better opportunity to evaluate the vehicles. You will be able to see all of them up close before choosing which one(s) to bid on. You should also bring along a car expert with you, if you're not one yourself just to to assured that the vehicle is in good condition before buying one. Try to find out both the history and quality of the car(s) you're interested in. Remember, while government auctions are popular, the general public isn't aware of them, and therefore there will be many choices for you do get that car that until now was out of your budget. - 15224
