I was interested in going to an auction for confiscated vehicles at a local auction in my area. Do I need to meet any certain requirements to attend an auction? What is a good and FREE website to check local car auctions and available vehicles?

Thank you

   Don’t even think about getting a GOOD auction vehicle. If the vehicle was that good, they would keep it or sell it off-auction. Auction vehicles get auctioned for a good reason – they can’t sell them for what they would be worth if they were serviceable. I’ve never seen a GOOD auction vehicle, some barely ran. So, if you are looking to buy a car at auction, be extremely careful. There is no warranty of any kind. You are responsible for getting the car off the lot, usually by towing it because it won’t be registered or insured.

   Just Google "car auctions [your city name]"

   The cars are sold to the general public & dealers. Anybody can buy them. No certain requirements to be met other than cash i hand – no credit. Watch the classified ads, call some tow companies in your area & ask them where they have to advertise or type in "auto auction in (your city)"
   All cars sold at an auction is sold "AS IS" so check them out!

   the cops and city workers buy all the good cars before you ever get to bid on them. They leave the junk for the public to buy.

   There are no free websites that list thousands of auctions nationwide.

   Those that charge simply call places. Something you can do yourself.

   My sheriff sells theirs on ebay. Ive watched them for about 3 years. All sell for well above retail. (Clueless retail buyers !)

   Mot police auctions are open to the public so anyone can attend. You’ll need cash to pay for the car and a prayer to get one that is worth the money you’ll spend.

   Auctions like this promise decent cars at cheap prices but the reality is that most of the cars are junk and there are no real deals. The cars that end up in the auction are cars that nobody else wants or can’t be used for another purpose.

   Why would the city give away a perfectly good car at an auction if they can use it.

   almost all of the really expensive cars that are new or any good, get siphoned off as undercover cars, and then traded back and forth to police agencies for undercover work. If it is at a local tow yard, unless you have a insider all the good stuff is gone and its just the culls. This is typical of any auction, mostly old crap or stuff with major problems, you need to learn to be patient sometimes the good stuff is at the end. I dont like any auction you cannot drive the car. I refuse to buy a car I cannot test drive.
   There are no free websites with information lying around for you to use. If you want an auction list, make it yourself by looking up each police agency you are interested in, getting the phone number off the internet and then calling the local number during daylight hours and asking if they have an auction coming up. Sometimes the information is available right then and they can give you a date, sometimes you have to sign up for a mailing list and they send a notice in advance of the auction. All those 1 – 800-free cars numbers are scams, they made lists by doing what I wrote in the 5 preceeding sentences made notes then compiled a list and are selling free information that is yours for the asking, one police agence at a time..
