Government car auctions are a great place to buy a used vehicle because the government doesn’t want to hold on to these cars and trucks. The longer they keep them, the more it will cost them money, so they hold auctions to sell the inventory. This gives the buyer great savings on Kelly Blue’s suggested book value. Another reason it’s good to buy at these government auto auctions is that many of these vehicles that are seized are basically new or nearly new. So not only can we get these vehicles at great prices, but the condition of the vehicle can be near new. Something that is much harder to come by at regular local auto auctions.
Government agencies seize cars for all sorts of reasons and much of it is to help pay off past debts the owner has accumulated. Now, instead of keeping these vehicles until they are sold at retail, they can get rid of many things at once at auction. The longer they hold something on a seized lot, it costs them money, so to cut their losses, they’re willing to let these cars and trucks go at unbelievably low prices. Did you know that your local auto repair shop that has a used car sales lot probably gets its vehicles from an auction? So by doing this and cutting out the middle man, you can keep those profits in your own pocket. Depending on the area you are in, there may be government car auctions more than once a month. Obviously the larger cities and surrounding areas would be the places to look.
Not only can you save big on your next car or truck by buying it at a government auction, but you can also get a vehicle in fantastic condition. I’m talking about next to new. Some of these vehicles are very well cared for and it’s a shame the previous owners put themselves in this position, but without them we wouldn’t be here right now. Cars and trucks with very low mileage. The oil has been changed at the recommended times and the owners have taken the time again. Some of this stuff may have aftermarket items on it, like custom wheels, spoilers, and all sorts of different things.
There you have it with just a couple of reasons to buy your next used vehicle at Government Car Auctions. Governments don’t want to hold these items in inventory that cost them money so we can get them very cheaply and find some gold gems lying around. Cars and trucks that are well cared for and even have aftermarket upgrades increase the value of the vehicle and allow us to get it at extremely low prices.
