repo, insurance, goverment auctions
what's your guy's take on these new web sites ( allshoprus.com )( repo-car.com )that sell cars to you from government auctions, or seized cars and things like that? i've surprisingly heard good things but there must be some sort of catch to it all.

Re: repo, insurance, goverment auctions
yea i think some of them you have to be in a government occupation.....i dont know about the website auctions though....they have cop auctions exclusively for cops just like they have dealer auctions exclusively for dealers....but yea if i found a good deal there, i would go for it

You get what you pay for basically... Government needs to get rid of old shit too... Id assume that itd just be like the local auto auction you find in bad neighborhood.. High mileage cars come in... Cleaned up put on an open lot.. People buy them without being able to test drive them... Most of the time with no warranty available... Sometimes you win..sometimes you lose.. Actually.. i just went to a police auction this morning.. looking for a honda to get me to work and put the GST in the garage for nice days...Basically cars that were impounded and left behind.. .Sometimes cause the person went to jail and cant get it out, abandoned, or owner cant come up with the money.. So who knows.. Question about dealer auction though.. .Is it hard to get a dealer auction license from the DMV(assuming thats where you would aquire one?)

Actually if i remember right... Cause i was looking into this just the other day.. If they say you have to pay money, then it usually ends up with you going around in circle... The government actually has a site where the information is given away free... I dont know for sure.. This is just based on the research that i did for myself last week..

Re: repo, insurance, goverment auctions
it's sound like a hell of a deal. they have brand new cars going for thousands less than what they would, and all you have to do is fix a couple things. I saw a supra on one these sites for like 6 grand. There must be some sort of catch to this, but i plan to look into it and i'll see what i come up, if anyone else has any info or has ever tried it let me know.

Re: repo, insurance, goverment auctions
My buddy bought an explorer at one of the gov't auctions. it only had like 70k on it and it was a 98 and he got it for 3500 bucks. it's an eddie bower (spelling?) edition too. So there are def deals to be had. it's all a matter of lookin at the cars and seeing if they have anything you might want, then getting lucky enough to get it for what you want. as far as the sites go, I'm not sure how that would work, but it seems like a good deal.

If you do that then watch out, because a lot of car dealers go to those auctions and get cars super cheap and double the price. They also are less worried about a spending limit.

The guy that use to dominate the show series with that Chameleon supra bought the car from an auction for $12,000... This was like 3 or 4 years ago... Actually went to buy back his wrecked Del Sol... So you can definately find a deal, but just be aware that when they're asking you to pay for information.. COuld be a runaround..Best to do your own research..
