Seized Car Auctions

Everyday, thousands of cars end up in seized car auctions because the government agencies do not wish to waste money in maintaining them.

Seized car auctions or government car auctions are hot spots for anyone looking to buy a repossessed or seized car at dirt cheap prices. These auctions can offer you a used vehicle in good condition for as little as 80% off the retail value and even $100 in some cases. Thousands of automobiles are seized everyday through the different seizure and surplus laws by government agencies and made available to the public through seized car auctions.

Seized or repossessed cars are put up for sale by government agencies like the General Services Administration, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), US Marshals Service (USMS), US Customs Service (USMS), Small Business Administration, US Department of The Treasury, Homeland Security, Department of Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS), Department of Agriculture (USDA), US Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), State and Local Police departments, US Bankruptcy Court and so on.

SUVs, sedans, trucks, specially-fitted patrol vehicles and other kinds of automobiles are available for bidding at these auctions. Do not be surprised to see different car makes including luxury brands both Japanese and domestic car makes at these places. Car makes like Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Acura, Cadillac, Infiniti, GM, Ford, Chrysler and even top of the line wheels like Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Lamborghini and Aston Martin can be found at a small fraction of their original prices.

Seized car auctions are either closed or open. Closed auctions are open only to those who have an approved license to bid, while others are accessible to the general public. As long as you are above 18 years of age, you can purchase a repossessed used car at the auction.
