Government Auctions – Samples of Great Cheap Cars Available
I have written or read almost everything that can be said about government and police auctions, but the other day I was thinking to myself how ironic it is that you hear so much about foreclosures, government auctions, reposed cars, etc. yet you rarely see samples of the specific deals available. I do know that the reason for this is that the word ‘profit’ is a dirty word for the government and therefore advertising is not an option. The only way you would of heard about government or police auctions is through word of mouth or on the net.
What if retail stores such as Best Buy or Walmart never bothered to publicize their great deals? Do you really think Walmart would even get near the business they get today if they’ve never advertised? A good portion of many retail stores attract their audience by advertising sales and discounts ahead of time. Police and Government auctions, however, still has a popular following even though the government never spends on advertising the specific items it will be selling. The government doesn’t have much of an advertising budget and yet they still manage to quickly sell their merchandise and that’s because they have best bargains period. There is a vast difference from the retailer who has to pay for marketing, the cost of the item itself and above that they need to make a good profit. The police and government don’t have any of these costs so obviously the savings is reflected in the items price.
I’m going to share some details about the current repossessed vehicles that are found at government auctions. The listings provided here were gathered from the highest rated government vehicle auction site as reviewed on my website on the ‘vehicles’ page. Here are a few great samples out of the thousands that are currently available:
* Mazda 2005 Protege DX 4D Sedan 14.2K miles $3,750
* 2005 X5 BMW with 15K miles – $4,140
* Lexus 2005 RX300 4×4 13.5K miles $6,450
* 2003 Jeep Liberty with 23K miles – $3,890
* Toyota 2004 Camry LE 26.1K miles $4,070
Like I said these are just a sample of ones I selected but you can select from any made and model. So where do all these vehicles come from and why are they so darn cheap? The come from numerous branch sources which all have many vehicles reposed for different reasons ranging from unpaid debt and/or taxes to many different legal reasons. Police and other government agencies also sell off the items that they obtain from convicted criminals.
You should consider going to a live government auction rather than an online auction because you will have the time and opportunity to get a good look at the available vehicles. If you’re not a car expert yourself, you should bring someone along who is. Make sure you find out information concerning its quality and history. Remember, most people aren’t even aware of government and police auctions or the great values that can be found there so you can choose from a great vehicle selection one that normally would be outside your budget.
