Save Money At A Police Car Auction Close To Your Home
Are you looking for a 'new' car at a price you know you can afford? You may want to attend the next seized car auction in your area. Seized or repossessed cars are often sold at government auctions that are sponsored by the local police department; and the cars are sold for cheaper than the original price.
However, it's important to keep in mind that you do get what you pay for, so here are some tips for finding the right car for the right price.
If you are not sure about when a seized car auction will take place in your state or city, you should visit usa.gov. This site will provide links to directories that will give you schedules for auctions that are being sponsored by the U.S. Marshals Service, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense. Other seized car auction events that you may want to attend will also include automobiles that are 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
You'll also need to purchase a warranty for the car so that if repairs are needed, they will not be terribly expensive. You should also remember to never, ever walk away from the auction site without getting the title to the car. You will not be able to legally register the car and receive a license plate, which could present some serious legal problems for you in the future if you plan on getting the car on the road.
