Recently I stumbled upon a great post posted back in 2009, by unknown, and entitled Government Repossessed Cars ? Buy Cheap Used Cars at Government … that I strongly suggest everyone reads! I’ve included a couple of excerpts in order to pique your interest!

Government Repossessed Cars ? Buy Cheap Second-hand Cars at Government Seized Auto Auctions You can find many claims over the internet of government repossessed cars being sold at 90% off its original price. You maybe wondering if all these claims are right or not, and whether there is a catch that these advertisements are not disclosing to unsuspecting consumers enjoy you. Well the truth is, government repossessed cars are truly being sold at a greatly reduced price. Yet, you must know that all these cars are second hand or second-hand cars and their value has depreciated since the day it left the showroom, thus the low pricing. Another reason why the prices are low at these government seized auto auctions is that it cost money to maintain and store these cars.

 [...]

To make room for more, cars have to be attractively priced and thus often sold at 90% off the current market value. Many government agencies regularly conduct auctions, and most are general. Meaning, the auction is not only about cars, yet everything else that the government has in surplus, likewise as all seized and unclaimed properties. Most government auctions have a 2 day viewing, allowing you to inspect the auto of your option in detail.

 [...]

Most cars will start at low price, yet some bidders may tend to drive the price too high because of aggressive competition. If this happens to anyone of your interest, it’s best to drop it. You must always retain in mind that these units are second hand, and the price should be reasonably cheaper. After winning, you can have the option of paying in money or installment, although money buyers receive additional discount. If you are on a budget, then buying second hand cars at government seized auctions is certainly a excellent option.

Now, reading this article started me off thinking so I did a quick search for more posts on the subject and discovered some more greats. i.e. Finding a Cheap Used Cars in Utah posted back in April, by Alfia, over on Guide For Online Shopping:
