You can get a great deal at the IRS auctions if you know what you are doing. One question that was asked is how do you bid? You must attend the auction in order to bid since it is a public auction. If it was a sealed bid auction you could send a bid in. The highest bid above the minimum gets the prize. These cars are released from the Federal Tax Lien by the sale action. You do not have to pay off the liens to get the cars. You do need to see if there are any auto loan liens on the vehicles because you would have to pay those off to obtain clear title. The best way to find out is to ask the officer in charge. What to ask? (1) Are there any liens or obligations against the vehicles that are superior to the IRS lien? (2) Will there be someone there to start the cars? (3) What are the minimum bids for each vehicle? That should about do it. How do I know? I retired a couple of years ago from the IRS after 33 years of service.
