There are around 300 American auto auctions held throughout the United States every year. American seized vehicles are auctioned off over the internet, in a live auction, at fixed prices, and by various other means. You can pay via cash, credit card, cashier’s check, or by money order. Any licensed driver over the age of 18 can participate in these American auto auctions and the registration to get into these auctions doesn’t cost you anything.
Some examples of cars that have been sold at American auctions are: a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant that was sold for $1,000, a 2000 Ford E-350 that was sold at an American auction for $1,900, a 2004 Chevy Astro with less than 25,000 miles on it went for a very cheap $4,000 at an American auction.
The American government will auction off an estimated 30,000 cars and trucks in the coming year so there are plenty of opportunities to jump on one of these auctioned cars. Many of these cars will have low mileage on them and only one previous owner. You can get a lot of savings by going to an American auto auction over a car dealership. The vehicles at these auctions are often well maintained and detailed before they’re sent to auction. Many of them also are loaded with optional features.
The US Marshals Service has cars that have been seized by American law enforcement agencies. Over 13,000 seized cars are sold per year with the gross sales reaching over $150 million. These revenues are put back into law enforcement so every dollar you pay is going towards protecting our country and our safety.
American auto auctions are very different from a traditional car dealership. If you’ve been to auctions before that will be a great help in getting a great deal on an government seized vehicle.
