Searching for a Honda Civic


Honda Civic

I have been trying to find the right Honda Civic for my daughter.  Checking the normal places Craigslist, eBay, local classifieds, etc has not been very successful so far.  How about using the Government Auctions Search Engine?  Lets try a search for 'Honda Civic', 47 results not too bad!

I actually scrolled down through the list until I found one from Ohio that sounded pretty good from govdeals.com

After clicking on the link I was able to find the details I was looking for.  Most of these auctions are from local government offices, there is typically a number you can call to ask any questions about the vehicle or to schedule a visit to look at the vehicle in person.  And as you would expect they are all sold As-Is, so you should take that into consideration when choosing your maximum bid!
