Used cars for sale at impound auctions

January 27th, 2010

As you can guess, seized vehicle auctions features used cars for sale. Yes, there are some junk cars at these auctions, that’s why you should check them up before placing a bid, either by the vehicle’s carfax history, description, or a manual check.

However, there are many used cars for sale that are “like-new” vehicles. Actually, while impound car auctions have police seized vehicles, there are also other government and private party auctions held for seized vehicles that include lightly used cars where the owner could not afford to pay the leasing anymore.

So if you are indeed looking for used cars for sale, it is always worth checking out these type of auctions as it is a large source of supply of cars that can be purchased for very low prices. However, always make sure you inform yourself properly about the make, model and year of your favorite used car so you know what to look for and how high to bid.

Where to Find Impounded Cars?

July 31st, 2009

impounded car auctions

impounded car auctions

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?

Several online services specialize now in providing access to local city, state or national auctions listings that have impounded cars for sale. These services, like Gov-Auctions specialize in auto, truck, SUV, bike or other vehicle auctions. Others, like GovernmentAuctionNetwork (GAN) cover a whole range of seized, impounded, repossessed or foreclosed property.

Now that you know that you can find real bargains at impounded cars auctions, you need to know what to look out for and how you can access these “secret” auctions to profit the most.

We will cover in more detail the pros and cons of impounded cars auctions in another post. We will also list the different services available and review the top sources. So stay tuned.
