Impounded cars are very popular especially with used car dealers who are generally privy about these sources of really cheap used cars for sale. As a result, these events are not widely publicized. Some even allow only selected group of people to participate. The general public is mostly unaware that such auctions or sales are held in their area.
Car auctions are for the most part accessible to the public, even though auto resellers and used car dealers don’t want you to know about them.
If you want to save big bucks on your next car purchase, you need to take following into account:
- cover more than one car auction to successfully purchase the model you want
- tap into several local and national sources to get impounded, seized and repossessed vehicles at the lowest prices
- know what make, model and year is going to be auctioned at a particular location
- make sure not to waste time with junk cars.
Doing all this manually, i.e. look into the yellow pages and local newspapers & billboards is next to impossible to be effective. It would simply take too much time and effort to gather all the necessary information about the different auctions that are held: where is it going to take place, what make, model and year of vehicles are put up for auction, when do they occur, …etc.
So what should you do?
