Don't let the appearance of the website fool you though, as this review will reveal - there is some definite potential here. A one time fee of $39.95 unlocks a plethora of car auctions. Federal, police, bankruptcy, unclaimed - just about every type of outlet is represented here.
Despite the overall look of the site, the search functions work quite well. It appears that they went with functionality over style here. One minute into a search I found 20 cars in my region that interested me. If you are a reader of my personal blog you may have noted that I am in the market for a BMW X5 for the winter. This site had 871 live Bimmer X5 auctions. 60 of those were close enough to me to where if necessary I would be more than happy to make the drive to check it out.
Each listing is accompanied by usually only one photo, but a very detailed description of the condition of the vehicle. I also found that a few actually gave information on how the car got to be up for auction - something that maybe some of you will want to know.
Overall a very user friendly and easy to navigate site - just don't expect it to look all that pretty while doing so. :) Next week I will be reviewing one of THE most popular auction sites. I will either be buying the X5 from this website or the next one. So stay tuned!
Government Auctions.Org
PROS - Hundreds of thousands of vehicles listed. Real estate and property auctions included in membership. Very user-friendly navigation and search options.
CONS - Would have liked the site to look a little bit better, but that doesn't really matter after a while.
Rating - 4/5 cars
