I have written many documents on government auctions and police auctions in the past, but only as of late have I been providing specific samples of the deals that can be found at these auctions. You may of heard of rumors of the great deals available at government auctions, however, seeing is believing, and since the government does not endorse the specific vehicles or items that are offered at the auctions, I am attempting to illustrate some of the great deals you will find there. The police and government are overstocked with repossessed automobiles and therefore are eager to clear them out, and in turn this provides great opportunities to anyone who will make an effort to attend their auctions.

Imagine if places like Walmart or Target never advertised the types of “great bargains” that they offer. I’m sure most successful stores would never get anywhere near the sales they have had they never advertised sales on specific items. That’s a big part of their marketing strategy and is a main driver for getting the public into their stores. Despite not advertising, though, government auctions still have a decent following and they are very successful at selling repossessed cars and foreclosed homes. The reason for this is simple because they have the such great deals and the informed public are aware of this.

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:

* Mazda 2005 Protege DX 4D Sedan 14.2K miles $3,750

* Pontiac 2005 Bonneville 12K miles $3,330

* Lexus 2005 RX300 4×4 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.

Going to a live on-site government auction rather then an online auction is a good idea because you will be given the opportunity to look over the vehicle before you bid on it. As I’ve mentioned in the past if you’re not mechanically inclined then bring someone to the auction who is. Also be careful to verify the quality and the history of the vehicle before you purchase. Given the fact that a small percentage of people are even aware that these auctions even exist, you’ll be able to find a vehicle of your choosing, perhaps even of higher social status then you intended for a much lower price then you expected.
