Impounded car auctions have the best cars going at the cheapest rates and are safe cars to buy with clear titles and all the documents in place. Most people are not too comfortable buying impounded cars, but in reality these are cars which have been put up for sale by the government departments, banks and financial institutions. The vehicles have been seized by the law from their owners for several reasons including nonpayment of loans, and are usually in almost brand new condition and never too old. As the government does not want to waste money on the maintenance and storage of these vehicles which keep piling up, they are sold off at different auctions as early as possible and at very cheap rates.
These cars are sent to various auctioneers in the country and as the auctions are open to the public there is a large number of buyers who are bidding for them. The rates are kept low so that the cars are sold off as quickly as possible and do not stagnate at the auction sites for long periods bringing their value down still further, and costing the government a pretty packet at the same time.
