A Police Auctions Disaster Kit

Free Police Auction Information

Police auctions are just like any other auctions you can attend, except they have even better deals because the cars have been seized from their owners. So, you end up getting a well maintained car for a below average price.

Although you can save money by going to a police auto auction period, there are a couple of things you will want to bring with you to ensure that you have the best experience, in addition to saving the most money. You can find out what they are in the following list.

1. Kelly's Blue Book: This is a must have when buying a car from anywhere. It will give you an estimate of how much the car is actually worth so you can get an idea of how much you should bid on it. This comes in handy when there are a lot of other people bidding on the car you want and the bidding gets out of hand. You'll know when to stop bidding so you won't kick yourself later for paying way more than the car is actually worth.

2. Mechanic: Unless you know your way around cars, bringing a mechanic along with you to your next police seize auto auction is always a good idea and will save you from a lot of headaches. Have your mechanic check the car out for any repairs it may need. Then, depending on the car's condition you can deciding if it is worth buying or not. This is way better than buying the car first and then finding out that it needs all types of costly repairs.

3. A friend: Not only are they good to bring along for company, they can also talk some sense into you if you get too carried away in the bidding process. Plus, you'll also need a ride up to the seized car auction so you can drive you new car home.

As long as you remember to bring these three things with you to the next police seize auto auction you attend, you'll already be ahead of the game. Plus, you'll save a few extra bucks in the process.
