Seized Luxury Cars
by JOHN STEVENSON
Seized luxury cars are part of repossessed properties which of course can include other valuables like real estate, cash and so on. These are all seized, surplus and unclaimed property which the government, banks and financial institutions try to sell off to recover their losses. Auctioned cars can originate from government offices, banks or lenders typically.
You can find sedans, 4-wheel drives, race cars, sports cars, sports utility vehicles, motorcycles and even vintage cars. As for their condition, majority of them are in excellent working condition. Of course, you can expect some to have slight flaws like scratches, dents and therefore require minor repair work. But occasionally, you will find brand new luxury cars offered at more than 70% off their retail value. It is quite likely that their original owners could not afford to pay their loans. It seems very likely that with the decline in the real estate market there will be many more luxury cars available at auction in the near future.
The open bidding system awards the sale to the highest bidder. The bidding often starts as low as $100. Usually the prices depends on the how popular the car model and make is. The entire system is transparent and not easily subjected to frauds. My advice is never to bid beyond the perceived value. There are always good cars around for you to drive home at more than 80% off its original retail price. These are way cheaper than what are offered by used car dealers.
For anyone to participate in a repossessed auto auction, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. You also need to show proof of identification as well as driver��s license. Some charge a registration fee while others are free. Always be sure to check out the prices of the cars on display prior to the bidding or carry a Kelly Blue Book for an estimate of the car value. Find an experience car mechanic to accompany you as he can help you to assess the vehicle condition especially the engine.
Anyone eager to drive home their dream car for a price as low as 80 to 90% off the retail price can find out where to locate these seized luxury car auctions at Seized Luxury Cars.
