I haven't used this site personally.

My wife and I go to the EG&G, (US Customs & Border Enforcement) auctions, they're held approximately every two months in Nogales Arizona. They also have the same auction, (for different vehicles/items) in Southern California and in Florida among other places. They primarily have cars/trucks but they'll also have real-estate, office equipment, industrial equipment, etc., anything that can be seized. IRS stuff also. You can view/hear the vehicles run the day before the auction.

There's usually over 300 vehicles up for auction at the one in Nogales. These auctions can attract alot of people but most of the buying is done by a small group. You can get some pretty nice vehicles, BMW down to KIA's, (no offense to any KIA owners!). Prices are good, the only negative is that some of the vehicles will have higher mileage. You need to check them out the day before, we do. You get your title from the US Government and it's guaranteed not to be a salvage title.

You don't have to pay to get in, you just have to register when you arrive at the auction. Once registered they mail you a list of the vehicles for the upcoming auction about a month before it happens, and it's free!

Seems this group has collected all the possible auction information and grouped it in one website, if it's good and current information it's worth $35.

It's possible you could get all the same information from the Federal, State & Local Government offices for free. You might have to do some searching but once you have the websites or are on the mailing list, you're good to go.

I can confirm that the government auctions are real and you can get some nice vehicles for below market value. I haven't seen any that were 90% below book value like their website claims.
