Confiscated And Used Cars

By Benjamin Henry

Did you know that there are places where car that are as good as new gets sold for priced as low as $150? There are some types of special car auctions, where car prices are unusually low. We are talking about reposed cars and repossessed car auctions. Repossessed car auction are usually held by governmental or public institutions , like banks, insurance companies or the IRS.

If you wonder why they are called repossessed cars, then the answer varies, depending on the situation and the organization or institution that offers them for auction. Some of the repossessed cars come from people who have opened a credit at some bank or even purchased a car in leasing, and ended up not paying it, and now the bank is confiscating their belongings.

Police and IRS also confiscate cars from persons that can not justify their income in a certain period of time or from those who can not pay the owed taxes. In the end, we can even have the opportunity of seeing military dump trucks for sale or police cars that have been replaced.

It's no a question of who are the previous owners and where you can find them, because one a car is sold in such an auction it mean that you, the new owner, will be buying it from the institution that confiscated it. This means a new car, or a car that has just one year of use, will be entering auction at prices as low as $50. The cars are sold by the respective institutions at such low prices because they tend to over-accumulated in time and if kept for much longer their storage costs will become too expensive.

These auctions are usually announced in media one or two weeks before starting, and are always attended by business persons that own or intend to open a used cars dealership. They simply buy from the repossessed car auction lots of used cars in very good condition at low prices and then sell them to the public at much bigger prices. Someone that wants to buy an used car usually does not go to these auctions because people are misinformed and think they are held only for juridical persons, but he should go, because this is the place to get great cars at low prices.
