do government auctions sell good cars? give examples.?

Answer 1

I've seen Ferraris, AMG Mercedes models (aside from regular Mercedes), Corvettes, Hummers, Vipers, etc.

Answer 2

you can find some pretty decent deals once in while at government auctions. The best deals are bank repo auctions! All government and other auctions are advertised on the classified section of your local paper. So don't go paying $20 for an auction list on the internet! Make sure you take cash or a note from your bank saying that you are good for your money. Usually the day before there is a viewing, you can check out the merchandise, use that opportunity to find what you like. Get to know the vehicles you like, look them over really, really well. get on the internet when you get back and check the blue book value so you don't over-bid and pay more than the car is worth. you can also get the VIN and do a car fax on it. there is never a warranty. you'll also have to trailor the vehicle home. I have a friend that bought a Cadillac and Land Rover for $2000, police impounds for drug trafficing. Good Luck.

Answer 3

90% of the cars and other vehicles sold at public auction are junk. Occasionally, you can find a retired sedan that had light duty, for instance one belonging to warrant server or other city official, but most of them are cars that are thrashed by cops or were abandoned and not worth fixing.

Some good cars come along once in a while, but most of the time, there are people there bidding who have no clue and end up paying more than they should.

Answer 4

i bought a 4 yr old expedition, only slightly worn, with HD suspension, towing package, and so on at about 1/3 of what i'd have paid on a used car lot.
