Which Type of Car Auction Is Right for You?

Here’s a taste of what my car auction blog offers info on.

Police Auctions

Ever wondered what happens to those cars that get impounded? Well, many of them end up at auction, and I’ve seen some real bargains here, but you need to know what you are doing.

Not for beginners

Tow Company Auctions

Sometimes people abandon their vehicles after they’ve been towed. These cars often end up at auction too, and I often see some diamonds in the rough. I do not recommend these to auction beginners, however.

Bank Repo Auctions

More and more of these are opening up to the public, and they’re a fantastic way to find late-model cars at a decent price. Plus, many of them offer online bidding, so you can participate from anywhere.

Government Surplus Auctions

Uncle Sam is constantly cycling through fleet vehicles, and you can find some well-maintained cars and trucks at these auctions. I also often see heavy equipment, boats, tractors, etc.

Who Runs Car Auction Network

Greg Smokes, owner of Car Auction Network

Hello, I am Greg Smokes, owner of the Car Auction Network. As a longtime wholesaler and used car dealer, I’ve spent decades at auto auctions across the United States, working as both a dealer and a manager. Let me tell you, there’s no better place to find great deals on used cars, trucks, and even some unique vehicles you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

That’s why I’m excited to tell you about my car auction blog. I’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of auto auctions happening all over the country. I want this site to be your car auction resource for local and online auto auctions.

Car Auction Network takes the hassle out of finding these auctions. I’ve done the legwork for you, so you can focus on finding the perfect vehicle for your needs. It’s a good auction website for anyone looking to bypass the traditional car-buying experience and find a great deal.
