O DMV car auction is an alternative for people who have planned to purchase a vehicle, but want to get away from traditional methods that, many times, may not be advantageous, depending on their needs. 

That's because in more traditional methods, people end up being limited when choosing the model and year of the car, especially when their financial conditions are not so favorable. 

However, in the Detran car auctions, customers have greater possibilities, since several models of variable years are available with prices that can be up to 30% below the Fipe table. So, the purchase options of consumers are high.

- Problem with the license plate of the car;

– Driver doing illegal activity with the car; 

– Excessive sound from outside the vehicle;

– Excessive fines.

Therefore, the vehicle can be seized until the person responsible regularizes the situation. Normally, the period provided for the regularization and removal of the car is up to 30 days, according to the law: art. 262. 

However, at the end of the 30-day period, if the driver does not regularize the vehicle in question, it can be delivered for auction, in which it is open for the public to participate.

Is it safe to participate in auctions

Participating in Car Auctions can be a great option for anyone interested in purchasing a vehicle at an attractive price. But, it is important to be aware that in all areas there may be people interested in applying scams. 

According to a survey carried out by the Digital Security Lab from the company Psafe, in 2020 about 52 people fell into fake auction scams. 

Therefore, we recommend that you always look for the official website and look for the origin of the company that is promoting the event.

But still, it is worth visiting the official website to confirm that the ad you received is indeed true. 

After making sure you have all the information, just take advantage of the possibilities offered in a car auction.
