22nd October 2009
Are you looking for a new or used car at a price you know you can afford? If your answer is ‘yes’ why not participate in the next seized car auction in your area Repossessed or seized vehicles are normally sold at government auctions.
Uploaded by automoter99. – NASCAR, F1, tuning and drift videos.
These auctions are sponsored by the local Sheriff or Police department and the auction cars are sold for a fraction of the market price. You do get what you pay for goes for auto auctions as well. In this article I’ll give you a few tips on how to get the car you want as cheap as possible.
usa.gov is a great source that give you information of when a police or government car auction will be going on in your area. This website will link you to directories containing schedules for auctions sponsored by the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense and the U.S. Marshals Service. Other seized or repossessed car auction events that you may be interested to participate in will also include vehicles from state or local surplus.
The storage costs for the state and the banks that finance the vehicles are several millions of dollars, so you can be sure that cars you purchase from these auctions will be much more affordable that other places, for example from a dealership. We have seen several cases where cars go for 80 to 95 percent off the retail price!
Some special rules apply to auctions, even if a seized car is not in bad condition. If the vehicle you purchase at an auction are sold “as is”, the auctioneer or any organization selling the car is not liable for damages or repairs once you win the bid and drive the vehicle off the auction site.
Because of this rule you will have to purchase a guarantee that will protect you if anything goes wrong with your auction car
I will also strictly recommend that you buy a warranty, so that if repairs are necessary, they will not be too expensive. Moreover, I will sincerely recommend that you get the title to the vehicle before you leave the auction lot.
You will not be able to legally register the vehicle and receive a license plate without and this, could present some serious legal problems for you in the future if you plan on getting the automobile on the road.
Another good website where you can find the right government or police car auction as well as car prices that fit your budget is carbuyingtips.com. At this site you will find a lot of great money saving tips as well as other tips that will help you getting the most out of your car purchase.

Buy Your Auto At An Auto Auction and Save Money
17th October 2009
If you are searching for a used or new car but want to purchase it at another place than a dealership, finding it at a state auto auction might be a viable alternative. The cars you can buy at these auctions are mostly in good condition and you could save a significant amount of money by placing a bid for the auction cars you want.
Below I have listed a few resources that you can use to find a state auto auction as close to where you live as possible. I’ve also included some tips that might help you to find the right car.
One website I will recommend is niada.com. This site contains an auto auction directory that will give you a list of auctions and when they are held in each state.
The information also includes the address and phone number of the auction site in addition to the person who is in charge of the auction. The site also provides information of Canadian auto auctions as well, if you want to take a trip up there to get a certain vehicle.
Another place to check is your local police station or City Hall to get information about when the next state auto auction will be held. The police station often holds auctions for selling repossessed items. At these auctions you will find many other items like household items and jewelry, not only cars. Your City Hall may refer you to websites that will showcase the items that will be auctioned.
If you want to attend a state auto auction, there are a few precautions you have to be aware of.
First, be aware you have only yourself to rely on when you’re bidding. What this means is you should take special notice of the way the cars being auctioned are presented. When the auctioneer says that the vehicle is being sold ‘as is’ it means you have the responsibility for any repairs that are necessary.
In some cases you will be offered a guarantee lasting thirty days after you have purchased the car. Nevertheless you should buy a warranty that protects you from having to pay for any damages or repairs of the car.
You also need to make sure to get the title from the state auto auction. The reason for this is you need to get the vehicle officially registered within the state you are going to drive it. Last but not least, you must check the validity of the title. You can do that at autocheck.com. This should be done upfront, which means before you drive the car for the first time.

Online Car Auctions – Tips On How To Buy A Decent Vehicle For Almost Nothing And Avoid The Pitfalls
16th October 2009
These days, you can purchase just about anything online–and this goes for new and used cars as well. If you want to find a car that you can afford that is still in great condition, you may want to think about logging onto some online car auctions so that you can find the car that you want in the comfort of your own home.
Auction Cars Up To 90% Off Market Value
While this may be a convenient way to buy auction cars, there are still some very real precautions that you’ll need to take to make sure that you are getting the most for your money–and to ensure that you’re not being taken advantage of. No matter what site you visit for online car auctions, you should make sure that there is a definite way to get in touch with the individual or group that is selling the car before you make the final purchase.
Thus, if you have questions regarding the auction cars, for example if it needs repair and in this case, what kind of work will be necessary to do, you can have your issues and concerns sorted out before you pay a cent that you can’t get back. If you send questions to the seller and they are not responding in a timely manner, this may be a valid sign that the seller can’t be trusted; you want to ensure that there is an open and honest communication so that you know exactly what type of deal you are making.
You should also make sure that you know what to do to get the title and warranty for the car before it officially becomes yours. When you’re at a live auction, you’ll be able to have the title handed over to you on the spot, but if you’re completing the process online, you’ll have to have these documents sent to you.
Make sure that you have the arrangements for getting any official documents for the car in writing (via email) during the buying process, so that you will have the proof you need if you have to verify anything. Purchasing a warranty for the automobile you purchase at online car auctions is also extremely important.
Even if you do everything right in the purchasing process – especially if it’s older auction cars – you will still need to purchase coverage that will decrease the cost of any repairs or maintenance services you’ll need for your ‘new’ car.
You can also find online car auctions when you visit the automobile section of Ebay; there are a number of great vehicles listed on the site, and you’ll get most of the details you need right there on the site before getting in touch with a seller.
