There are advantages and disadvantages to purchasing a vehicle at a government or police auction instead of going to a car dealership. Many people don't realize it, but the police seize thousands vehicles every month and in most cases auction them off to the general public at greatly reduced prices.

Government auctions are a well kept secret that dealerships would rather you not know about. They purchase these vehicles themselves for very low prices and sell them to the rest of the public for good profit. The more consumers become educated about police auctions, the more competition they face at the auction plus car dealerships sales they could potential lose that business.

So why does 90% of the general public buy from car dealerships? Well that's a good question and I think it comes down to education. People are simply not aware or these government and police vehicle auctions. The government would be ridiculed is they spent money on advertising. Here is a list of advantages and disadvantages in buying at these auctions:

Advantages:

- Business model is much more conducive to lower prices

- No matter where you live, there are typically many auctions held around your area

- Information regarding government and police auctions with vehicle listing detail is now available on the web

- There is usually a wide selection of vehicles that can be found at government auctions - sports cars, SUV's, pick up trucks, motorcycles, jeeps, etc.

- No middleman for you to have to deal with or pay

- No commissioned salesperson to have to deal with

- Motivated seller who is not equipped to handle inventory, everything must go

- Possible advantages to income taxes (establish a business name)

- May pay less sales and new car tax

- Start your own business (i.e. Sell cars on the Internet)

Disadvantages:

- You'll probably have to pay it all in cash (which for some is a blessing)

- No warranty (although used car dealerships warranties are for short time periods)

If you don't mind paying cash for a near new vehicle, then the advantages obviously outweigh the advantages. Don't forget to have someone with you who understands vehicles to inspect the ones you're interested in.
