The averge price for a new car is near $30,000 and the credit requirements are tough to qualify. I started purchasing vehicles about 10 years ago from Police Impound Auctions. The vehicles that are auctioned off at these sales have been seized from criminals, people with no drivers license, people with no automobile insurance and abandoned vehicles. These auctions are not for the faint at heart as the auctions go fast and you must pay cash and there is no guarantee at all on these cars they are sold as is. The type of vehicles range from compact cars, luxary cars, vintage cars, SUV’s , RV’s, motorcyles and motor scooters. The attached free ebook will assist you in your purchase of a Police Impound Car. However, the following short list should help you. The San Francisco Police Department tows on an average day 50 cars to its impound storage lot. The storage per day for a police impound vehicle is approximately $50.00 per day plus the wrecker bill. The owner of the vehicle must pay the storage bill plus the wrecker bill in order to redeem their car. If the customer fails to redeem the vehicle it goes to public auction. There are some Police Auctions that offer their cars online such as EBID.NASHVILLE.GOV in Nashville, Tn. However, in most cases you must be present in order to bid and must have cash, or credit car or an arrangement with the auction to pay by other means. I recommend before you descide to bid on one of these vehicles contact STEVESCARS.COM and let us get you a Vehicle History Report the information on this document wil give you information such as accidents, emission problems etc. I further recommend to contact the local DMV with the plate number and find out if there is past due registration charges. The document received at these auctions generally is not a vehicle title, the document is called lien papers. Contact a knowledgable auction person to walk you through the completion of these forms as their are lengthy and often time tricky. I will publish a book shortly titled Stevescars.com guide to Police Impound Sales watch this website for publication.

THE economy is presently in a free fall. The news will tell you that new car sales from Ford Motor alone have plumped. The new cars will be on dealers lot in a few weeks. The average American family car is 10 years old. However, before you visit the local new car dealership consider the following options for vehicle purchase. Whether you are looking for a used honda accord, jeep kia, or toyota camry your first step should be Craigslist garage sale but use the search word estate sales. The estate sales are often placed on Craigslist under the garage sale section. Many times in an efford to liquidate the estate of a loved on, families will often discount the deceased member’s vehicle quickly. Prior to your purchase agreement check fluids, insure that the vehicle shifts into gear and note any body damage and shoot a picture of it and take it to your body shop for a quick estimate. I personally run a carfax it is about 40.00 but is well worth the cost. Another resource: Former off lease vehicles at any of the auto rental agenices or new car agencies often when new models arrive on the lot have to make space and the prices are reduced. Police impound sales often have vehicles that have been impounded for various traffic violations and can be picked up for a fraction of retail. You must usually have cash in hand and these vehicles are sold as is. Prior to bidding on any car at this impound sales go to the website vinaudit.com for a detailed report regarding the vehicle and its history. Presently with gas prices still on the rise you will see a spike in the price of all compact and sub compact cars and SUV’s.
