“Subscibe To and Bid on Online Government Auto Auctions only after you learn the ropes”

I got scammed by a government auto auction site that promised the world and delivered much less. The cost of the membership at $49.95 for one year was not a big deal, but in the end there were very few vehicles that met my criteria.

Since then, I have tried out nearly every government, police and repossessed car auction site I have found online. In many cases, the sites were not worth the money. Many were looking for a quick sale and offered very little inventory to stand behind their claims. They are basically scams. Most of the sites that I tried were good enough to refund my money when I asked for it, but I had to fight with others and never received a refund from 2 of the sites I visited. However…

However, legitimate auto auction sites are out there and that is the good news. You can find great deals if you are willing to do some work to prepare to bid intelligently. This article will help you make the right decisions from the start.

I know first hand that you can purchase a vehicle from an online auction site for pennies on the dollar if you plan, research, stick with your numbers and be patient. There are 3 or 4 sites that are far superior to the rest and will have your next car ‘ready for you’ in the next few weeks. They have lots of inventory. They provide training and support and above all teach you to find the real deals. Your next car is only a few clicks away once you know how these sites work.

The biggest rule to remember when it comes to these auction sites, and auctions in general: Go in with a plan. Do the research. The car sites like Edmunds and especially Kelley Blue Book are particularly useful. Know your models and know how mileage, condition and options effect value. Then stick with what you know. Don’t bid outside your knowledge-base just because a great looking car seems like a good deal. If you’ve done the research on a Honda Accord, don’t haphazardly bid on a Lexus, just because it seems like a good deal. You want to know it’s a good deal. Do a little research and your confidence and proficiency will lead you to better buys and wiser bids.

After you have determined a fair value for the model you are interested in, use the top auction sites to see if you are in the ball park. These sites will show you what similar cars have sold for. Use more than one example and take an average. This check will tell you real value and could translate into a real deal once the bidding begins. Don’t get into a bidding war just because you like a car. Another one, just like it, is just around the corner at the price you have set as a goal. Never overbid; remember you are looking for a deal.
