With the Cash For Clunkers scheme running out of money people are looking for other options. This is where Car Auctions can be of interest.
In the USA, Car auctions are relatively unknown to the public at large, but play a major role as a wholesale market for second-hand vehicles. Most car auctions are closed auctions, meaning only dealers can use them, but there are also auctions that are open to the public. These auctions are a primary outlet for financial services firms to dispose of their large volume of off-lease returns, for rental and other companies to sell off their aging fleets and for car dealerships to dump trade-ins or other unwanted inventory. Some auctions in the United States are used by banks, the IRS, and other government agencies to sell vehicles that were repossessed for failure to make monthly payments or pay taxes, or were seized by the FBI, DEA, or the police. Also, there are some that sell US Government vehicles.
