US Government Auctions - Dealers buy here - why not You ?
Anyone above the age of 18 holding a photo ID can buy a vehicle from any government auction - many dealers take advantage of the bargains on offer. Government Auctions is America's #1 trusted source. NOTE,,, I said attend government auctions not just any public auction.
Thousand of vehicles are seized every month by IRS, DEA, FBI, and Police Dep't, there will be a very high selection of 2-3 year old models with perfect history Reports and transferable factory warranty.So why wouldn't everyone buy a car this way instead of going to the dealer or using classified ads?
Why are the cars so cheap at government auctions? How can this be true?
Every day thousands of Americans default on their car loans or lease payments. As a result their new, or almost new, cars get repossessed or seized by financial institutions and auctioned off in a hurry because the cost of storing the cars outweighs the banks' ability to try to make the lost money back (same with police auctions, etc.). This is real and is being taken advantage of by a very small number of public citizens.
I really am stunned with the technology at hand today the buying process has not changed much
Back in 2005 - 2006 My thoughts were with the Internet surfers multiplying it would only be a matter of time before a vast number of buyers would realize they can also shop Gov - Auctions in person or online driving up the bidding to a point where this type buying would come to an end for Dealers and Curbsiders but, here we are 2012 and nothing has changedDealers bid on the quality cars and mark them up a few thousand dollars on their car lots
Curbsiders buy the junk and sell then on the Internet as quality cars
This hobby site is based on facts big or small you may encounter or be made aware of prior to buying a car. The Internet is loaded with bogus sites like warranty providers - Free Credit Reports and sites that deliver non existing or outdated information. There is only one valid Gov - Auction site, it's not free but worth every penny " example " if you don't buy a car through Gov- Auctions but rather kick tires at local dealers you will know fair market value, sure you can surf sites Kbb - Edmonds - Auto Trader and get an idea what is considered fair market value, compare and you decide.

Many knowledgeable buyers attend government auctions for a second income, will buy a car or two and resell at a non government auction or at free listing sites like craiglist or kijiji and will score huge every week.
What is a Curbsider A curbsider is someone that has several cars for sale, and that is not legal without a licence, they strive on government sites and will bid mostly on vehicle's with blemished Title's such as Salvage - rebuild - flood damage - frame damage - etc and offer for re-sale online AS IS at sites like - ebay - craiglist - kijiji - and non government public auctions to uneducated gullible buyers whom shop price only.EXAMPLE - A clean title car sells for $15000. and the same type car in the very next lane looks as clean with less miles and the winning bid is $7000. with a Salvage title If you want to bid on these type cars for personal use here are some pointers to consider.
Frame Damage,,, Would you feel real comfortable sitting on a chair that you knew had frame damage and now patched together, never mind going down the Hwy sitting on a car frame at 70 Mph
Flood Damage,,, Think about the vast series of wires that run throughout the entire car that have been submerged in water for how long ?
Rebuild Engine,,, Many buyers will strike gold without any problems, from a personal viewpoint they just never seem to perform the same as original factory build.
Hailstorm Damage,,, There will only be cosmetic damage, an excellent purchase if you can live with the Bonnie and Clyde appearance
Online Auto Auctions
Buyers surfing E bay for car deals today obviously have not discovered government auctions and will bid on cars that sellers bought at government auctions. It's a great way to make an extra income except for the fact many of these cars were bought with blemished title and now offered at public auctions like E bay as quality vehicles. There are thousand of items on E Bay I would consider, bidding on a vehicle is not one of them because I can't be 100% sure the title is clean and not washed through another State.Sellers Reputation Most sellers at public auctions like E Bay may be very up front but there is always a lemon in every batch. You found a car you like and you will most likely be checking the sellers reputation that looks great with many satisfied consumer transactions " did you expect otherwise " it is a simple SCAM for some sellers to get a new ID and create a list of satisfied buyers
History Report a Must
The vast majority of buyers today will view a report from Carfax or AutoCheck provided by the seller or will have purchased their own,,, Personally I suggest you obtain you own.History reports are several pages it's easy to alter a page with the tools at hand today, or having a vital page missing by the seller " a trick I have seen work a few times in my day "
Don't misunderstand me 98.9% of sellers may be up front and I really am not trying to be negative about buying any car, but facts are facts.
Summary!!!
Full title disclosure buying private or dealer could be iffy - with Gov - Auctions it's up frontIn the market for a car now or in the future why surf for hours, members with Gov-Auctions with a simple click of a button will have access to thousand of auctions throughout the country with extensive accurate information that covers every single State in the US with database that is being updated constantly, this site I highly recommend as an inexpensive investment worth every penny Click Here! press the red button to join, you will have instant access to live auctions and locations.
