For example, there is a lot in a town nearby mine that will frequently, and randomly post a sign saying "car auction tomorrow". Sometimes the repo auction listing is no more in-depth than that! And sure enough, the next day they will have a lot full of repossessed vehicles that either have price or auction number signs on their windows.

The good news is that finding out about car auction sales is not purely left to chance. To find out about repo sales, however, you do frequently still have to do a little footwork.

These are the folks that make profit when the repossessed car sales are successful, because their defaulted loans are paid back (at least partially).

Another way to find repossessed cars auctions is to become a regular browser of your local newspapers. These local printed pages have a wealth of information regarding foreclosure auctions and repossessed car auctions, and they should not be under estimated as a resource.
