How to Find Government Car Auctions

Every day there are cars sold online at government car auctions for a fraction of their value. Individual citizens are allowed to bid on these auctions so learn where you can find government car auctions to start bidding.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Cars from the Government's General Services Administration Fleet
   
   These cars are sold on online government car auctions every single day. These are pre-owned U.S. government cars, trucks, and vans that are for sale on online auctions and live auctions. I have included a link in the resource section.

2. Vehicles from Federal Surplus Vehicle Auctions.
   
   These are surplus fleet vehicles from the Department of Justice and other federal agencies. Most of these cars are in excellent condition due to the agencies strict rules on caring for government cars.

3. U.S. Marshals Service-Forfeited Property at Online Auctions
   
   You can buy court-ordered, forfeited vehicles online from the U.S Marshals online auction website. These vehicles are usually not inspected before the auction. They recommend that you check out the vehicle before making a bid.

4. Vehicles from Department of Energy
   
   The department of energy usually maintains a well sized fleet of vehicles. Once the vehicles hit a certain mileage or age, they are auctioned off. These vehicles are usually well maintained and have nothing wrong with them.
