Car Auctions For The Rest Of Us

By: Brian Knapp Home |


You've maybe either seen people advertising them or you may have even looked into purchasing cars through car auctions. But my wager is that is about as far as you have gotten. That's as far as most people get. I only say that because if you are like me and 95% of the U.S. you were pretty quickly turned off by either hearing or reading the words "Dealer license required". That turns most people off, but it doesn't have to be that way.

I mean who wants to pay the government for the right to do yet another thing? And who has the money to pay for things like dealer licenses when all you want is a good deal on a good car? After all you aren't going to actually profit from it, are you?

There's another thing too! Who wants to go through all of the junk of the licensing process required for the auto auctions with credit checks and background checks and the new numbers you have to memorize and the new tax documents you have to fill out? What a pain!

Well thankfully, for the both of us, there are people who aren't as willing to be disheartened in the face of a little bit of adversity - especially when the likelihood for huge money savings is on the line!

One day my wife and I were both sitting in front of the TV late one night flipping through a lot of crap when an ad came on for purchasing "police taken over cars at pennies on the dollar!" This advertisement for government auto auctions caught our attention because money was tough, but our car was in bad shape.

We were in unsound shape financially and my wife needed a car without delay in order to keep her job. Well like I said, I went and got online to check this auction out and as soon as I saw that a dealer license was required I gave up. My wife on the other hand decided that it wouldn't hurt to make a few calls and see what was required.

I'll say it again, boy am I glad I married her because by making that call she got us out of a tough spot. You see what she learned was that the dealer license was no big thing. It was simply a trip down to the secretary of state, write a check, and take home your license that day. You could even get a temporary license if it was just going to be a one time purchase.

Well to make a long story short, we ended up getting a temporary license, went to an auction and came away with a beautiful vehicle for pennies on the dollar and sold it six months afterward for a nice profit. When I saw how easy it was, I decided to keep doing it whenever I need a vehicle.
