How to search for a cheap used car

In addition to buying a used car the usual way - from private sellers or through used car dealers, there is another great opportunity to find awesome deals - seized car auctions.

Seized car auctions are probably the best way for getting a car below it's trade-in value, and often far below. Even if you are on a tight budget, you can still get a good conditioned used car for the least amount of money. There really are cheap used cars at seized car auctions. And anyone can buy it - no license is required.

So what is a seized car auction?

In short, various federal, state, and local government and law enforcement agencies regularly auction off surplus, unclaimed, and seized property, including vehicles. Banks and lending institutions also repossess cars from non-paying customers, and sell them through public auctions.

Since there are always so many cars and the costs for storage are enormous, the government agencies and banks are all interested in selling these cars fast and cheap! So, they auction it all off. Often at very low prices.

These auctions are real. They take place almost every day in various parts of the country. All vehicle types, makes, and models are sold at such auctions - SUVs, coupes, sedans, vans, minivans, even convertibles.

Seized car auctions are frequently used by many car dealers who buy up many seized cars and soon afterwards resell them for a massive profit. But you too can take advantage of these low auction prices. Whether you want to buy a car to re-sell, or you’re looking for a car for yourself or a child, a seized car auction is the best place to look for an affordable used vehicle.
