Repo cars are always the most classy and the greatest bargain deals at any used car auction like the auto auctions in Honolulu,HI. This is because repo vehicles are not too old as they are put on sale when the owner of the car fails to make the loan payment on time, this is when the finance companies or banks repossess the vehicles or take it back from the buyer. The buyer will be given an opportunity to catch up on his loan installment, but if he fails to do this the lending institution or the bank will take over the vehicle and try to resell it to recover some of their money which is the balance amount of the loan.
Where are these repo vehicles sold?
Most financial companies and banks hand the sales and auction of such vehicles over to the professional auctioneers who will do the job for them. Once the car is sold through an auction company the bank will pay them a commission and take the remaining money. These auctioneers are public auctions, private ones and also dealer auctions. The better know auctions where such vehicles are sold are the repo auctions, the government auctions and the auto auctions in Honolulu, HI.
Some of the smaller lending organizations and banks do not give their vehicles to the auctions but keep them in their own parking lots where you can see them with the signs saying they are for sale. These vehicles are easily spotted by those driving by. The banks also do not want to make money on these sales and just want to cover the balance payment of the loan and whatever they have spent on the vehicle over and above this for storage and towing.
Locating such repo vehicles
There are several options to conduct this search. You can either do the legwork yourself by getting in touch with the local government agencies who deal with seized cars that are put on auction, at various local auctions and government auctions.
