Government Car Auctions are a great place to buy a used vehicle because the government does not want to hold on to these cars and trucks. The longer they hold on to them the more it cost them money so they hold auctions to sell off inventory. This gives us the buyer huge savings off of suggested kelly blue book value. Another reason why it is good to buy at these government car auctions is a lot of these vehicles that are impounded are basically brand new or close to it. So not only can we get these vehicles at great prices but the condition of the vehicle can be next to new. Something that is a lot harder to come by at regular local car auctions.
Government agencies impound cars for all sorts of reasons and a lot of this is to help pay off past debt that the owner has built. Now instead of holding onto these vehicles till they sell at retail they can get rid of a lot of stuff at once at an auction. The longer they hold on to something in an impound lot it cost them money so to cut their losses short they are willing to let these cars and trucks go at incredibly low prices. Did you know that your local car repair shop that has a used car sales lot most likely gets their vehicles from an auction?
