Everyday government agencies all across the country seize cars in drug trafficking busts and various other types of illegal activities. These vehicles have to be stored. Typically the government have no use for the vehicles and with the cost of storing the vehicles they would much rather auction these cars off at a public car auction to keep the cost of storing them down to minimal amounts and/or eliminate the cost to store them altogether.

There is another reason the government agency want to rid themselves of hanging on the vehicles is because of there decrease in value as time goes by (as with all cars). It is commonly known that the value of a car decreases quickly with time, even if it is not being driven.

The best thing for us "the general public" is that the Government agencies have a more pressing need to get rid of these vehicles more than they have to make a profit. That is the perfect recipe for saving us the buyers tons of money. It is reported that at these government seize car auctions people win bidding on cars saving 30% to even 90% off the retail value. Wow, that is a big savings.

Typically in every state Government seized car auctions are open for the public every week. Depending on where you live you can find them sometimes listed in the local newspaper or see a auction site with a data base for all government seized car auctions in your area and all through-out the country. I have used many and know the best one that keeps their data updated frequently. There are many kinds of price ranges when it comes to these car auctions. Depending on the inventory for that day you could bid on and purchase cars from $500 to $10,000 or more.

Now don't get me wrong, it is very unlikely you will go to your first auction find the car you want, bid on it and purchase it for a few hundred dollars. But with some work and a little patience you can find your dream car and walk away with the keys for a lot less than you would find at your local dealer. To educate yourself do a search on Google for car auction buying tips and tricks. Attend at least a couple of auctions and practice what you have learned before you actually start bidding on cars.

Now you know a little about how Government seized car auctions provide a great opportunity for saving. It may not be as easy as going to your local dealer for your next purchase, however with doing a little research about auctions and learning how to inspect a car (these things are not hard to learn) you can be well on your way to saving 30% to 80% off retail value on the car of your dreams or that second hand vehicle you been wanting to get. Government seized car auctions also provide a great profit opportunity as well. You can buy cheap and resell that vehicle for a profit fairly easy. Enjoy your search and happy car auctions adventures ; )
