Repo & Impound Car auctions: what the numbers say

There are 13 repo & impound car auctions open right now across 6 states, with the most in Tennessee (3), Virginia (3), Florida (2), North Carolina (1) and Arkansas (1). Most of them are on GovDeals and Proxibid. The biggest sellers at the moment are State of Tennessee and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. The next to close is 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY - ABANDONED at $10.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 171 closed repo & impound car sales, with a middle hammer price of $1,525 and a range from $5 to $38,500. By state, Tennessee ran about $4,101 (60 sales), Arizona ran about $594 (42 sales) and Virginia ran about $1,550 (26 sales). The buyer's premium, sales tax and pickup are on top of the hammer price, and each sale on this page links to the listing it came from.

Prices at government auction follow the seller, not the item: a state fleet that serviced a truck on schedule sells it for more than a county that ran it into the ground, and a sale that closes at 2 PM on a Tuesday draws fewer bidders than one that closes Sunday night. The listing's photos, the seller's name and the location tell you most of what you need; the sold prices on this page tell you the rest.

Before you bid

Count the fees. Most auctions add a buyer’s premium to the winning bid, and some add document or gate fees. Check each site’s terms before you bid.
Inspect or have it inspected. Many sales allow previews. Our inspectors directory lists companies that will look at a vehicle for you.
Check the VIN. Run a free UX Vehicle History Report on any 17-character VIN before you bid.
Know the title. Read whether the vehicle comes with a clean, salvage or bill-of-sale title, and what your state needs to register it.
Plan pickup or shipping. Most auctions give you only a few days to remove what you buy. Line up a shipper before the auction ends.
