Seized Vehicles
Do you know every year, thousands of great bargain opportunities appear and disappear all around without you even knowing it. There are so many bargains! In fact, the person next to you on the freeway could very well be driving a near new car that cost only $550!
Every year thousands of vehicles, are essentially "given away". Why? Some become the property of Uncle Sam through "seizure and surplus" laws. Because of the constant influx of goods and the overwhelming expense to store them, the government must get rid of them fast. This could means dirt-cheap prices for you!
