Find Repo Car Sales

Search the local classified advertisements and legal notices in the newspaper. Some auction companies list regular ads with the date, time and location of their auctions. Most state laws require the auction companies to list a legal notice with the auction's information. Legal notifications typically run on a particular day of the week.

Contact your local government offices, including the police and sheriff's departments, city hall and the county. You can also call the local branches of the FBI, DEA, IRS and department of transportation. Ask if the agencies auction seized vehicles and if the auctions are open to the public. It's unusual for an auction to be closed to the public.

Call around to financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions. Ask if they auction their repossessed vehicles. Even if they don't, they might be able to point you in the direction of a bank that does.

Search the phone book for the names and phone numbers of auction companies. Call them for information on their auctions.

Subscribe to an auction directory service if you're not having any luck finding auctions on your own. Directory services send you a list of auctions for a fee. The list is a national compilation, so you'll get more information than you need.
