Are you looking for a new or used car at a price you know you can afford? If your answer is 'yes' why not participate in the next seized car auction in your area Repossessed or seized vehicles are normally sold at government auctions.
These auctions are sponsored by the local Sheriff or Police department and the auction cars are sold for a fraction of the market price. You do get what you pay for goes for auto auctions as well. In this article I'll give you a few tips on how to get the car you want as cheap as possible.
usa.gov is a great source that give you information of when a police or government car auction will be going on in your area. This website will link you to directories containing schedules for auctions sponsored by the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense and the U.S. Marshals Service. Other seized or repossessed car auction events that you may be interested to participate in will also include vehicles from state or local surplus.
It costs the state and the banks that finance the cars millions of dollars to keep the cars in storage, so you'll definitely be sold a car for a much more affordable price than if you were buying off the lot. In some cases, you can find a car for a price that is about 80 or 90 percent lower than the retail price!
Even though a seized car is not necessarily one that is in bad condition, when you're buying from an auction, the rules are a little different. You are completely independent as a consumer, which means that the auctioneer or any organization selling the car is not liable for damages or repairs once you win the bid and drive the car off the lot. So, you will need to make sure that you purchase some type of guarantee that will protect you if anything goes wrong with the car.
I'll also warmly recommend that you purchase a warranty for the car, so that if repairs are necessary, they will not cost your legs and arms. Furthermore, I will strictly recommend that you get the title to the car before you leave the auction site. If you plan on getting the car on the road, you will not be able to legally register the vehicle and receive a license plate without.
