Owning a vehicle is considered to be a status symbol for some people. This means no longer taking the cab or riding a bus that could save some time going in to the desired destination.
If the person doesn’t have a budget to buy a new one, it will be a good idea then to just get a second hand vehicle. The government has a surplus of these vehicles that could be three or four years old that are well maintained and can be bought at a cheaper price.
Where can the person buy a government surplus vehicle? It depends where the individual lives. In each state, there are government facilities that handle auctions throughout the year.
These are announced a weeks in advance in the newspaper and in the Internet so interested buyers can review the vehicles in the compound which will help the person decide whether to bid on it or not.
Should the individual like it, an initial bid can be made and hopefully, this will be enough to win the vehicle. The winner can get the vehicle and drive it home after paying the amount. An additional amount will have to be shouldered by the new owner for sales tax.
The rules are very simple when it comes to buying a vehicle. The prospective buyer must be 18 years old and above, has a driver’s license and does not have a relative or family member who is working for the government.
Registration to attend the auction is free so the only money that will be brought out is only when the person gets to win a vehicle in the auction. The individual can even bid for someone else as long as the friend’s social security number or tax identification number as well as a letter from that person is presented.
People will be able to get a maintenance record as well as warranty for the government surplus vehicle. This doesn’t happen in a public or police auction because the vehicles that are offered are sold on a “as is” basis. This means the individual will probably have to shell out some cash to do some repairs if these are necessary.
Even if government surplus vehicles are given in good condition, the individual will still have to bring it to the shop to change the oil and spark plugs from time to time. This is the only way to keep it running for a few more years before deciding to replace it with another one.

The idea of offshore car registration for tax-free cars has always been popular, but more so in recent times. For many years, residents of European Countries had the right to register their vehicle in other surrounding countries tax-free. Why would they want to do this? Usually, it’s because the vehicle they want to import is unable to comply with local vehicle requirements for registration. Usually, the vehicle they are importing is safe and in working conditions, with only the minimal amount of engine emissions. However, the regulations on emissions in some countries are very strict and may require more expensive compliance testing. In addition, there may be other fees required, like VAT or Import Duties. Essentially, the out of country tax-free car registration program saves time and money and lets people drive what they want!
Legally speaking, cars can be purchased tax free, so as long as one takes the necessary steps to avoid duties and tax. However, there is a requirement that states that car owners must live in a different country from their residence at least on a part time basis. Advantages besides low registration costs include lower annual fees, avoidance of all related costs like luxury taxes or VAT and a much lower cost for personalized license plates. In fact, with this type of arrangement under some circumstances you could literally drive anywhere in the world. (Though it’s not advisable to try and skid over the Atlantic Ocean) Nevertheless, with the help of a vehicle transportation service, you could drive all around America and then fly your vehicle to drive in Far East Asia.
For a time, Vanuatu offshore car registration was the most popular option in Europe. However, as of 2008 the country has discontinued its long-running foreign vehicle registrations program. (They even called off the program on their yacht registrations-what is the world coming to?) What happened? Once must realize that in years past, Vanuatu was seen as a tax haven; an island nation that never released account information to other governments or even law-enforcement agencies. They also did not charge income tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax or other types of related fees. (It shouldn’t surprise you to know that providers of the KaZaA network decided to host their controversial services here)
This convenient means of operation obviously led to some abuses of the system and soon Vanuatu was under great international pressure to conform to worldwide standards as regards releasing certain financial details. Eventually pressure from Australia and other nations convinced the Vanuatu government to reconsider a few of its policies and one of the casualties was offshore car registration.
However, there are still options open to you if you want to continue taking advantage of offshore vehicle registration. There is still Andorra as well as Cook Islands, which still hold a duty-free status. There are still options to pursue if you have the great idea of tax-free car registration.

Police auctions are practical places to look for a good-condition car for a fraction of its value. Lots are usually a mix of some middle-aged cars and some newer models, most of which were impounded due to some violations committed by their drivers.
A lot of people who go to police auctions prefer impounded cars because they are somewhat assured that these vehicles Read the rest of this entry »
