Ever Hear of US Gov't GSA Public Auto Auctions??

This article explains the how's and why's of the US Governement's GSA auto auctions.

Although you may not have heard of this type of auction before, GSAauctions have been around for a while and are a good place to get agreat deal on a vehicle.

GSA stands for General Service Administration.

It is an agency in the US government that, according to actingDirector David Bibbs, "is to help other US agencies better serve thepublic by meeting … their needs for products and services, and, to (help) simplify access to government information and services."

One of the services they provide are auto auctions.

So why does GSA sell vehicles?

GSA purchases vehicles "in bulk", i.e., it purchases "bunches" ofvehicles at once and then leases them out to different governmentagencies. When the lease expires, these vehicles are sold to the general public at GSA auctions, which allows the GSA to re-coup some of their expenses and re-invest in more vehicle purchases.

Benefits of purchasing a vehicle at a GSA auction:

1.) American made vehicles - trucks, cars, SUV, police car, busesand many other types (approximately 40,000 vehicles to choose fromper year)

2.) Vehicles are generally well maintained (by the US Gov't). Theseare not specialized vehicles or repossessed.

3.) Vehicles generally have low mileage

4.) Vehicles are generally 3 to 5 years old

5.) Vehicles generally sell at or around wholesale prices with noextra buyer fees.

All in all, if you are in the market for a great used vehicle at agreat price, check out GSA public auctions.
