Absolutely!

There are a number of auction houses that are contracted to sell vehicles on behalf of the police and a large number are sold throughout the country each week.

Many of these sales are not advertised through the normal routes and a search engine result will only give a few listings.

The reason that these auction houses do not come up in search results is that these are traditional auction houses and their websites are not generally optimised for the search engines so they simply don't appear in a search.

Two of the biggest car auctioneers in the world are Mannheim and British Car Auctions, but there are many others that sell seized cars.

To find all the auctioneers that are contracted to the police authorities and courts you will need to find a specialist directory. There are a number of websites that offer this information but be wary as the lists are ofter old and out of date.

When you find a website offing police sales information ensure that you can search the listings, make sure there is a team behind the website checking and updating.

What different types of car auctions are there so I know what I'm getting into?

Online auto auctions like eBay Motors auto auctions and Yahoo Auctions. Basically private sellers and junk car sales. Wholesale auto auctions is generally where dealers buy used cars from other dealers to try and sell on their lots. Public auto actions is everyone for themselves. This goes the same with the cars. Good, bad and ugly but anyone can buy them. Public auctions have the most scam potential though. I trust police, government and insurance company auctions the most. Police and government are high mileage old cruisers or transport cars but at least you know they have been maintained over the years. Insurance and salvage company auctions are usually only open to dealers but sometimes they are public. These are just cars people couldn't afford so it runs the risk of not knowing how they were treated but insurance agencies are going to be at least somewhat honest about it and wouldn't sell a lemon.
