The Truth about Car Auctions

I'm a bargain hunter. But I don't like getting burned - and I was burned by bogus websites claiming to be government and repo auction sites. Don't make my mistakes. Search intelligently and use proven websites.

Best auction deals of last week:

  • 1. 2006 Toyota Prius for $3,300 at Car-Auction.com.
  • 2. 2007 BMW X3 for $2,700 at Gov-Auctions.org.
  • 3. 2006 Toyota Tacoma for $2,200 at SeizeCars.com.

Consider the sound economics of buying at auction for your next vehicle. It convinced me.


Consider a 2005 Toyota Camry. Buy it at a dealer or from its former owner and you'll pay an average of $16,000. If you get a 5-year loan at 7% interest, your payment will be $316 a month. Not so bad, right?

But now consider finding that same car at auction and paying $5,000 - a very common auction price on this common car. Your payment on a 5-year loan at 7% for this car would be $99. That's a savings of $217 a month - imagine saving that money or having its additional heft for a bigger mortgage payment or home improvements. It's a $2,500 a year difference - a total of $12,500 in savings over the course of the loan.

And, even better, if you hunt with just a little effort at trustworthy, proven auto auction sites, you can find a 2005 Camry for as low as $3,000 - that would be a $59 monthly payment on a 5-year, 7% loan - a $257 monthly savings on your car payment!

I found the BMW SUV my family wanted for less than 25% of market value. It allowed me to consider a car that, normally, I couldn't afford.

Give the auction sites a shot and widen your driving possibilities and improve your life.
