Government Auction Site Reviews - Police Auctions, Seized Cars and Trucks

Ever wonder what becomes of the seized cars, trucks, and vehicles seized by the DEA, IRS, & FBI? Every month across the United States, thousands of cars are repossessed (repo'd), seized by police departments and sheriffs and auctioned off to the public at police auctions. These cheap used cars are listed up to 90% OFF their original value and often start at $100. Also listed are government pre-owned vehicles, usually well maintained and not more than 2-3 years old.

What's important in finding police auctions? The most important criteria in selecting one of these sites are 1) Legitimacy; do they have access ALL police auctions for seized cars and trucks, or just a few? 2) Listings; do they list repossessed, or repo'd AND seized vehicles? and 3) Contact Information; do these sites give you the information you need to register at the auction, contact the sheriff or police departments or agencies, etc. Our top recommendation in this category is Car-Auctions.com.

Reviewed: Car-Auctions.com Rating: 10 of 10

There are literally thousands of cars, trucks, boats, planes, RV's and other seized and repossessed vehicles auctioned every day through police auctions and government agencies, as well as State and Local municipalities.

Listings - Car-Auctions had the largest number of listings for police auctions and seized vehicles - cars, trucks - from the federal and state agencies that auction seized vehicles: DEA, FBI, IRS, etc. They also listed a huge number of Fleet Liquidations. We were able to search for and find nearly every type of car or truck we could think of.

Contact info - The site made it very easy to follow-through on actually bidding on or buying a vehicle once we found what we were looking for.

Bonus - $9.99 gives you access to some very valuable extras, worth the 10 bucks in our opinion.

Car-Auctions.com did not engage in any of the shady or questionable practices we've seen on many of the sites. No automatic re-billing, and no "hidden" charges.

Auctions Pass is one of the very few sites that also scored high in all areas. The only reason they did not get a full 10 rating is that they focus on is that they didn't have all the extra "value-add" information that made GovernmentAuctions.org such a great site - otherwise we are very comfortable with the recommendation

Listings - Auctionspass's strong suit is cars and trucks. They had a huge number of listings for police auctions and seized vehicles from the federal and state agencies as well as various private sales and auctions. We were able to search for and find nearly every type of car or truck we could think of.

Contact info - Again, good contact info on most listings

Bonus - AuctionsPass is giving away a very well-written ebook when you sign up. We found it to be very informative, especially if you are new to buying at government auctions.
