If you are in the market for a new car soon, consider taking in either a government or a police auction. No matter what type of vehicle you are looking for - car, SUV, or truck, chances are you will find it there and be able to buy it at a fraction of the going rate.

In years past these auctions were a closely guarded secret, out of the reach of the general public. And while you still can't get into a dealer-only auction, you can go to one of your local open-to-the-public car auctions or check out one of the online public auction sites. It's amazing how inexpensive shipping a car can be, particularly if you have saved thousands on the purchase of your new car.

If you are wondering if people are going to these auctions in droves you might be surprised by the answer. A common misconception by the public is that all you will find there are old, delapidated cars which is definitely not true. Also, people still haven't got used to the idea of these auctions now be readily found instead of some closely guarded secret.

Are you wondering just where all these vehicles being auctioned off came from? Well, some of the vehicles are seized by government agencies such as local and state police, the FBI, IRS, DEA and ATF for various offenses. Still others come from government agencies that are trading their vehicles in for newer ones. Even though these are top quality cars, trucks and SUVs, they still need to get rid of them.

Save yourself thousands and go to a car auction. Here, you can buy a car much cheaper than you could if you had to pay the regular going rate. If you keep in mind what you are looking for, you will be able to find just the car you want and in tip-top condition to boot.

A mechanical inspection is important to do before bidding on one of these vehicles at a car auction. Usually later model cars have Manufacturer's Warranties still in place. This is good, but save yourself from any unnecessary stress by doing an inspection anyway.

You can do some of these mechanical tests yourself. An easy thing to check is the transmission. Start it up, and put the car into reverse and then back into drive several times checking for any clunking sounds or lurching forward. Spots and leaks on the ground are not a good sign, and by all means don't even consider a car if the oil has not been attended to and it thick and pasty.

To get the most from a government or police auction, make sure you know what type of car/truck/SUV you're looking for and its' current market price so you can determine if you really are making a good purchase. Don't forget to either do a mechanical once-over yourself, or have a qualified professional check under the hood. Remember, various government agencies or police departments are not in the used car biz - they simply want to get rid of these cars fast, and because of that you can be pretty sure you will be getting a great price. Welcome to the age of no haggling, no negotiating car purchasing.
