Local Car Auctions: The Secret Revealed

Local car auctions are a hot topic, so it is no surprise news.thedailyskew.com conducted an exclusive interview courtesy of the Ministry of Truth News Network with bargain hunter Barry Allen recently. In a nutshell, Barry Allen discusses his online database that he uses to find all active local car auctions. Here is a transcript of that interview:
How to Find Local Car Auctions- the Hunt is OVERLocal car auctions- we see the newspaper ads, we get the fliers in our mailboxes- are local car auctions scams or not? The Ministry of Truth sat down with IT professional and blogger Barry Allen to discuss the pros and cons of local car auctions and how to find out where they are in your area.
Ministry of Truth (MOT): Hey Barry, how are you today?
Barry Allen (BA): Long time no Tweet.
MOT: lol
BA: Actually I’m still pissed that the Minnesota Twins lost to the New York Yankees- talk about David losing to Goliath, in this case George Steinbrenner’s money.
MOT: Okaaay…we’re here to talk about local car auctions. Have you have been to any and have any success with them?
BA: Actually, I’ve had more than “any success” with finding great bargain vehicles at local car auctions. My current 2007 Mercedes-Benz is from one, and my soon to be ex-wife’s 2006 Toyota Sienna was bought from one, too.
MOT: Wow, so- let me get this straight- you bought these excellent autos by winning a bid?
BA: Oh, yeah. Actually, it’s quite simple. I have a full database of all the local car auctions in Minnesota, so I know months in advance before they happen. They usually occur at City Hall or a police station lot- these are all seized vehicles from various law enforcement agencies.
MOT: Wow, so there were repossessed by the police?
BA: Oh yeah, police, DEA, IRS, U.S. Customs- they will seize autos, SUVs, motorcycles, and trucks from deadbeats and criminals and then sell them to the general public at local car auctions. At that point these agencies need to move these vehicles quickly so prices are very low at local car auctions. Heck, I saw guys drive off the lot with a $600 SUV at these local car auctions.
MOT: lol..
BA: It’s no joke. What is a joke is people still going to new auto dealers and getting screwed with making $400 monthly payments on some new automobile instead of just paying $1000 in cash for the same vehicle at local car auctions and driving off the lot with no credit checks.
MOT: What about the condition of the vehicles at local car auctions. I mean, are these vehicles salvaged and flooded or what?
BA: Nope. I have never seen any flooded vehicles. Obviously some vehicles are in better condition than others, but you can inspect everything in person at local car auctions. I also like to bring my Blackberry and quickly look up the VIN number to get a history check. Some local car auctions offer 30-day warranties, but most of local car auctions have a buy “as is” rule, which is fine. You are paying way below retail and black book value so it’s not a problem.
MOT: You eluded to a database of some sort?
BA: Oh, yeah. I would have never gotten involved with local car auctions with my handy online database.
MOT: Thanks for the info.
BA: That’s fine…okay, gotta run- there’s a great deal for me to track down.
