The police department many a times seizes and confiscates cars. But not always are the cars auctioned at the police auto auctions obtained by such confiscation of cars due to illegal activities pursued with their help. There often are cars at such auctions belonging to retired police personnel and by officers for some time. These cars are sold to the highest bidder.
Though we hold in our minds a fear about the tarnished history of a certain car at the police auto auction, we should realize that since these cars are sold by the police as a part of the governmental proceedings, they are sold legally and their previous history with any criminal case becomes void.
These auto auctions are held at specific times of the year and are therefore to be kept a note of. A general note of caution for all the bidders are to reach there sufficiently early to check the physical condition of the car before bidding the price. There seems no plausible reason on why you should want to pay for a car dearly if it is not in the best of its conditions. The present market value of the car is also to be judged before plunging in to bidding exorbitant amounts. In fact, if you could take your car mechanic along, nothing else seems a better idea.
In such auctions, the auctioneer is unable to accept checks and hence you should be carrying enough money with you to bid with. Remember, the competition gets bottle necked if the car you are looking for has certain specifications. Most importantly, before going to buy the car, you should do a good homework about the cars that feature on your list. Though the police will not cheat you, they will not do the research due on your part!
I have been using goverment and police car auctions for more than 7 years. This is my business. I buy cars at a very low price and resell them later. At the website below you can read a review of the auction which provides me with great car delas every month.
