Welcome to Government Vehicle Auctions (Here's My Story)

Thanks for coming to Government Vehicle Auctions.

Just a few years ago I was beginning my long venture into college. As many college students are, I was under huge financial strains. I was forced to use private loans to afford my education and apartment and my budget was cut considerably short. These very financial problems were ruining my relationship with my girlfriend and making life incredibly difficult. I didn't have much money, I worked at Rite-Aid part-time so you can imagine the struggle. What little money I had was spent handling my living expenses.

I had an apartment, some luxuries like a television and computer but I didn't have a car. My girlfriend and I barely made ends meet, but we somehow managed. She was fortunate enough to be given a vehicle by her parents. That very car was essential to our transportation. Without it, neither of us would have had a job.

Things had to change, I needed a car, fast!

The first time she ran into some car trouble it became very apparent that we weren't going to survive with just one vehicle. Cars are prone to having problems and her sedan had over 130,000 miles on it! Things weren't looking good for us. I knew I had to do something to help out our situation. The problem for me was, I didn't know what that was. We were both new college students and we didn't have the money for a second vehicle. Being so young, we didn't have credit or the necessary requirements to finance either.

I started out by doing some research on the Internet. I started in the same place that just about everyone would, Craigslist. Craigslist is great for finding private sellers that have used vehicles for sale. However, they were still way out of my price range! Under the blue book value or not, they were expensive! No one wants to just, "let their car go" and that's completely understandable. However, I needed a car that was being sold CHEAP!

How I found hope on the Internet:

The more research I did, the more I learned. Ultimately all my hard work began to pay off when I started to come across some cool resources. I found reviews and testimonials that were suggesting you could find well cared for vehicles on the Internet. I know there's a lot of scams online so I definitely wasn't going to go purchasing a car over the Internet. I decided to keep reading and find out what the raving reviews were all about.

I quickly learned that these reviews weren't talking about buying a car over the Internet at all. Rather, they were referring to government vehicle auctions where seized vehicles and government owned cars are auctioned off for really low prices! The auctions are held locally but you get to see all of the cars up through the Internet. The listings include any progress with bids, other available inventory and the details about each car.

Government vehicle auctions were exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. At a first glance, the site seemed perfect. Assuming it was exactly as it described, I couldn't see a downside. I didn't want to jump the gun and just rush in though. Considering my financial situation, spending money on getting access to this auction site was the last thing I wanted to do. I set sail to find out as much I could about the website, and about government owned vehicles. In doing so, I could then make an informative decision about what I should do.

I wanted to remain good spirited, maybe this wasn't too good to be true!

Stick around because I'll be writing up the next post within a few days. I hope this blog can be a valuable asset for anyone looking to buy a used vehicle. I was able to find reliable sources on the best cars for their money and I want to share that experience. If I can help just one person with this site, then my goals are accomplished.

Stay tuned, -Dylan.
