You may have heard about people getting great deals on police impounded cars. But you may not know where to find them. Although you can save tons of money on these cars, they can be hard to find. That is, unless you know what you are doing.

You can begin your search by calling your local police department and asking them where the  police impound cars  are stored. 9 times out of 10 they are stored at a nearby towing yard. Most of these towing yards have auctions that take place every month or week for the cars that the owners did not pay the fees to get them out of storage. The only downside to these auctions is that most of the cars sold there are old and/or have not been well maintained by there owners. Thus, making them not even worth the towing and storage fees the owners have decided not to pay.

Your next option is to looking in the newspaper for any upcoming auctions. They are usually listed under the "announcements" section every couple months or so. You can usually get a good car there. But expect to pay more for it at these type of publicly announced auctions because everybody in town knows about it, making more competition in the bidding process.

If neither one of these options floats your boat, you can always join a car auction listing site. They save you the time and hassle of calling the police department or looking through the newspaper everyday in hopes of something being listed there. These sites have government and police seized vehicles for up to 95% off of their retail value, with listings in every state. Most of the cars are well maintained and only 2-3 years old. The only thing about it is that you have to pay a small membership fee in order to access their information. But you end up making your money back with the thousands of dollars you save by attending one of their auctions.

So, when you’re looking to buy police impounded cars you can call the police department, look in the newspaper or join a car auction site. you choice all depends on how much free time or money you have on you hands.
