The United States Government maintains huge fleets of vehicles in every state so that each agency will have vehicles available for their use. These vehicles are used for the transport of government property and government employees. Due to the need for reliable vehicles that will not break down, the government buys them new, and has strict rules about how long they can be used before they are retired from service. When a vehicle is retired from service, it is replaced by a newer model, and it is required by law to be disposed of by way of a public auction.
Auctions are held in every state, so that the government will not have to transport the vehicles to one place to sell them, and they are held several times a year due to the amount of vehicles that are retired. When you go to a government auction, the vehicles that are for sale will be available for inspection. If you are not knowledgeable about cars, you should bring someone who is, to check for major problems that could cause the car to be unsafe or unreliable. The government does not issue any warranty.
When the bidding starts, it starts at a very low price. The car is sold for the price of the highest bid, no matter how much lower than the value it is. Most cars sold at government auctions sell for a couple of thousand less than they are worth, and a few sell for a lot less than that.
