Question by Lajuana Peixoto: How to find a seized car auction near in my state?
I am thinking to buy a car. I don’t have a huge budget. Recently I read about the seized car auctions. Is it true that I can find cheap but good cars there?
I live in Alaska. How can I find a good seized car auction near to me?
Thanks in advance.

You can purchase a cheap repossessed or decommissioned vehicles at seized car auctions held in almost every State of the US for as low as $ 200. You will find not just cars, but motorcycles, RVs, trucks and other automobiles as well. These vehicles can be as new as a few months to a few years old. Since repossession takes place every day, the inventory piles up quickly and the government agencies/banks are eager to sell them away quickly to avoid depreciation and maintenance. For top of the line auction sites, you can search at this website: http://www.onlineseizedcarauction.com/index.html

seized car auctions are generally abandoned cars left on the side of the road whose owners didn’t think the car was worth paying the tow bill for.
95% don’t run or have keys and are usually sold to salvage yards.
Occasionally, the feds or the sheriffs will sell cars involved in drugs or whatever.
They have well publicized auctions maybe once or twice a year with just a few cars and they tend to sell for retail because so many people wrongly think they are sold at bargain prices.
Forget the notion of buying some pristine $ 15000 car for $ 800. That’s only in TV commercials from someone trying to scam you.
Call your local police, sherrif & us marshalls and ask when they have their auctions. But, dont hold your breath waiting for a good deal.
My county sherrif sells theirs on ebay. Ive seen maybe 20 cars sell over the last few years and each has brought retail or above.
