How To Buy Police Impounded Cars

To check this out for you I clicked through on the DC Police Seized Vehicles(I just picked that area at random - there'll be auctions in your area) at the site I use and found a list of cars that had recently sold (early 2009). Here are a few of the winning bids.

1992 Honda Accord, 214,000 miles - $650
1997 Oldsmobile Aurora, 118,000 miles - $1,450
1994 Nissan Maxima, 118,000 miles - $1,250
1992 Chevrolet Blazer, 118,000 - $650
1986 Honda Prelude, 137,000 miles - $175
2002 Buick Century, 211,000 miles - $550
2004 Chevy Impala, 51,000 miles - $2,800 (this one was sitting on its rims, but hey! you want tires as well at that price!!)
1996 BMW 3281, 170,000 miles - $1,550
There were bikes from the Lost and Found department
2007 Honda ATV, miles unknown - $1,800
2005 Nissan Sentra, miles digital - $5,200
1997 Dodge Intrepid, 164,000 miles - $750

You can see that it's a real mixed bag. That's the thing with these seized cars - you need to be following the sales and getting a feel for the prices but there are bargains there.

These auctions of police impounded cars come up all over the country.

Then check out these guys to see how you can radically improve your credit score. This system shows you how to delete inquiries, charge-offs, late payments and judgments.

That car could be closer than you think!

The secret of buying police impounded cars is knowing where to look in your area to find them. The service that I use do to this is Government Auctions which will keep you up to date with all seized and surplus car sales.

What I like about them is that they make it so easy to find the things in YOUR area. They also continually update their lists.

It's not just police seized vehicles where you find these bargains. The police and defense forces regularly sell surplus vehicles, airports have sales of abandoned cars - there are a hundred reasons why a car ends up at one of these auctions.

You'll find links to all those types of sales at Government Auctions. That's why I use them.

Yes, you do have to pay to see their lists, but it's a small fee and you can check in with them every day for a year for that fee.

Your first purchase will repay that fee many times over. And once you got your wheels sorted you just might like to take a look at all the other items you can buy cheap through them!

It's hard to stop once you get the bug for it!

Yes indeed!

That site does offer much more than auto sales.

I know you're after a cheap police impounded car but after you've found what you want, do take the time to look at all the other items you can find. That site will literally show you where almost ANYTHING can be bought cheap!

Ever heard of Henderson, North Carolina? No, me neither! But there is some real cheap housing going there at the moment! I found that out by simply clicking on US Government Seized Real Estate Auctions Sale Prices!

If you're buying a used car from a dealer or yard rather than through auction, you really do need to be up with all the little "tricks" they get up to!

Talk about sharks!

This report was an eyeopener to me!

I thought I knew most of the dodges but these negotiating tips on buying a used car - from an ex-car salesman - amazed me.

I just did not realize how much of a "babe-in-the-woods" I was when it came to a dealers yard!
