When it comes to car auctions, the best deals can be found at those ran by the government. This list of FAQs will answer any questions you may have about attending your first government car auction.

1. Where does the government get these cars from?

Most of these cars are seized from people that have not paid their taxes or come from the DEA or FBI which have seized the vehicles from those involved in illegal activities.

2. What should I bring with me?

The top 3 things you should bring with you are your id, a mechanic and money just in case you see something you like.

3. Do these cars come with a warranty?

Unfortunately most vehicles sold at a government car auction are sold in as-is condition. That means if there happens to be anything wrong with it now or as soon as you drive it off the lot, you will bear the responsibility of repairing it. That’s why it always a good idea to bring a mechanic with you unless you know you way under the hood.

4. I don’t know where any government car auctions are located near me. Where can I find one?

First, you can check you local newspaper for announcements of auctions that may be taking place in your city. But these are few and far in between. Your next alternative is to become friendly with a used car dealer and ask them to take you with them to the next auction they attend. You can also get a list of car auction sites from off the internet, which end up paying for themselves after you buy your first car.

5. What types of cars can I find there?

It all depends on the day and which auction you go to. You can find a wide variety of vehicles, from your everyday commuter car to high end luxury.

6. How much money should I bring with me?

Depending on what you’re looking for, you should bring anywhere from ,000 to ,000 with you. Most auctions allow you to put down a deposit and pay the rest within a couple of days if you have not bought enough money with you.

7. Is it really safe to buy from these auctions?

Of course it is. you only risk is buying a lemon. But this can be avoided by bringing a mechanic with you to every auction you attend.

All in all, you can get the car of your dreams at a government car auction, depending on the day and which one you go to. The important things to always remember are to bring a mechanic with you and enough money to pay for the car.

Ok so my car was repossessed about 2 weeks ago, thankfully i managed to get enough money to get my car back tomorrow from the towing yard about 1 hour away from where i live.

BUT the original towing company that towed my car before transferring it to another towing yard CLEANED out my car of all my belongings and other items. They told me it costs per bag per day. I had 4 bags of items and it’s been 28 days so total is 280+ invetory fee is 0.

Can they legally do that?? I pretty much went through hell to get the funds to get my car back.. i can’t afford this. And if i wait any longer i will NEVER be able to get my stuff back. I had a 0 video camera plus clothes and other things in my car.

Can they legally do this? OR any help/suggestions on what i should do?

Thanks,

I am a auto mechanic and am looking into possibly starting my own business. Im curious to know if there is alot of profit in buying and fixing cars? Privately or with a business? I’ve got enough money to start a business, but am not sure if I should? How have people done in the USED car business?

Because of not staying on a job long, and not making enough money on those jobs to pay a 1.64 car note and making 8 or a little under on the job. I know that i will a charge off repossession balance on my credit report, will this affect me getting another car and a home one day?

I had to turn my car in willingly because I was unable to continue to make payments. I realized that for a year and some months, I was working real hard on my job and not getting paid enough money for the work I did. I was constantly struggling. So, several times, I wrote checks off my father’s account to pay half of a huge car note. I realized that I didn’t have to purchase that car, and that I wanted to keep up with the joneses. My father informed on a few occassions that he could keep paying my car note because it was too high. And he told me not write any checks off his account anymore. I agreed to that, and realized for a long time, that was wrong. I have been unemployed for the past three months now,but I am seeking employment, but I haven’t found a gig that is going to pay me at least 12 or 13 dollars an hour. So, how does one survive? Will this ruin my chances of buying a home one day and getting another cell phone?
