Police Vehicle Auctions vs Car Dealerships - Which is Best?
August 5, 2008
by Doug Smith Are you aware that you will be allowed to attend many of the government and police auctions in your area? The police seize thousands of cars and other vehicles every month all across the country due to several different reasons. These vehicles are offered for much lower prices than you would generally pay by going through a car dealership. Government auctions are a well kept secret that dealerships would rather you not know about.

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. Yet almost all North Americans still continue to use car dealerships to purchase their vehicles every... Read more »
