People have a love affair with automobiles.  And most people want bargains.  Whether it be haggling with a dealership for new cars, or kicking the tires while talking down a used car salesman, people also love deals on cars.  Places with impounded cars for sale have some great bargains.  That’s known as an auction.  For those who know their stuff incredible cars are available at incredible prices.

Where do these cars come from for the auctions?  Often the police impound cars that belong to criminals or that were used in committing a crime.  For example its the law that drug dealers’ possessions are confiscated and sold.  That means a lot of cars, often very fancy cars, in the hands of the city or state who wants to sell them for a profit.  Tickets also generate a lot of these cars.  The car is offered for sale when the fines reach a point that the owner can’t pay. 

Sometimes the cars are sold straight to dealerships who either sell them on the lot or auction them.  Or auto auctions might buy them and then sell them in turn to the highest bidder.  It’s no matter.  There are some great deals when cars are auctioned, period.  However, there are some things to consider.  As the saying goes it’s “buyer beware.”

There’s usually no warranty offered with these autos.  It’s a case of what you see is what you get.  That is, in the auto industry, “as is.”  It’s not illegal to utilize puffery.  When car dealers say “clean as a whistle” that’s puffery.  There are even some tricky words involved in puffery such as “clean” or “in great condition.”  The law says these aren’t warranties even though they sound like it.  But they’re pretty meaningless.

Be ready when attending.  Be ready to examine the cars closely.  Bring a mechanic with you if possible.  Auctions offer test drives so use them.  There may be bargains when there are impounded cars for sale.  However, if great deals were easy to find everyone would have them.
