If you are looking at buying cheap cars, then you need to consider looking into the government and police car auctions. There are police used car auctions somewhere near you almost every month.
Police used car auctions sell cars that law enforcement agencies seize from criminals. They also sell their own cars once they hit a certain age or go over 60,000 miles. There tends to be a large volume of cars at these auctions and many of them go very cheap. You can usually find a variety of makes and models. Everything from family cars to sports cars.
Like any auction, you have to bid on the cars you want. That means that it is possible for the bidding to get high. When you get a list of the cars that will be up for bid at the auction you should pick out several that you would like to bid on. Then do a search and find out what the resale value of these cars are. Once you have determined the price such a car would normally sell for you then need to determine the price your willing to bid on it. Many cars will go from 50 – 70% less than the actual resale value of the car, so set your price accordingly and don’t get into bidding wars with other auction goers.
You should get to the auction early and stay until it is over or until you have bought all the cars you want. Your best deals will come at the beginning and at the end of the auction. Most Auction goers tend to get to an auction late and leave early, so at the beginning of an auction and at the end of an auction there is a lot less competition in the bidding.
Make sure to inspect the cars you have purchased before writing a check. Most of these cars are in good shape, but like any auction, once you pay it’s final. Also make sure that you get all the documents you need for ownership of your new car before leaving the auction.
Police used car auctions are a great way to get cheap used cars that are in good condition. This is a resource you should not pass up.

Porsche Panamera to Have Body Shells From Volkswagen
From the company's Leipzig plant, the Panamera is set for a large-scale production for the 2009 market. The Porsche said in a statement that it is remaking its Leipzig plant with a new production facility costing the amount $206 million and 600 new jobs.
Admittedly, the actual Panamera concept which is shown in the spy photos courtesy of cardomain.com does look better than the Porsche 928 GT it's based upon, but it still seems like a Porsche sedan.
Although Porsche have toyed with the idea of a sedan for more than 50 years, the company has never produced a sedan. It might seem desecration for Porsche to deviate from its purebred sports cars like the 911, Boxster and Cayman, but this is all “again all over again”. Before the end of 2002, Porsche released the Cayenne, a still-controversial SUV that has seen considerable success.
From the spy shots of the Panamera, it clearly follows Porsche's sweeping, contoured design philosophy. It is basically more of a four-door coupe than a traditional sedan. Somewhat to the Cayenne and Cayman is the rear, where the Panamera will feature a hatchback-style vent similar to the Cayman. The spy photographer suspects that under the hood is a lineup similar to the Cayenne's: a V6 and two V8s, ranging from a little under 300 horsepower to at least 500 in the top turbo version. But rumors are heard on Porsche’s mounting of the engines as far back as possible in order to keep the center of gravity in the center. And expect wider availability of the 6-speed manual transmission than in the Cayenne, too.
The Panamera is expected to provide excellent competition for the Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes CLS, and BMW and Volkswagen's upcoming four-door coupes.

Honda Leads The Way with Environmentally-Friendly Motoring
SUVs are out! According to a survey by Quality Planning Corporation to find out which cars are being driven by teenagers aged 16 - 18, the gas-guzzlers - once a popular choice for this age group - are no longer considered a 'safe' option by parents. No - Hondas are in! The Honda Civic and Honda Accord won first and second place amongst used cars, and first and sixth place amongst new cars.
Well, that may be no surprise - the Honda Civic is actively marketed to young drivers.
This news follows hot on the heels of a J.D. Power customer satisfaction survey in Germany. In this study - released on June 28 - Honda nudged Toyota aside as most popular car manufacturer, winning kudos across all categories including quality, reliability, running costs, and design. Germany's native giants BMW and Mercedes fared less well. Japanese manufacturers also bagged second and third place - Toyota and Subaru respectively.
Yessiree - Honda is on a roll...sales in America were up 7.3% in June compared to the same month last year, the biggest improvement being in CR-V sales - this redesigned model was also a top ranker in the J.D. Power survey.
Meanwhile, Honda's Civic Tour continues a tradition built up over the last seven years of presenting hot music while promoting awareness of the most pressing environmental issues. This year the Civic Tour features the Fall Out Boys, the alternative rock punk-pop band from Chicago. Lucky fans have the chance to win customized Honda Civic Hybrids. More information can be found at http://www.hondacivictour.com. Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz sums it up: "It's so awesome that Honda is letting us give away eco-friendly Civics on this tour. The GX is the cleanest car on earth. Who wouldn't want that?"
Not content with spreading the word about eco-friendly motoring, the Honda Civic Tour created an "Eco-Village" in Buffalo, NY, where concert goers were treated to a crash course in how to live on respectful terms with nature, as well as the latest options in green technology, alternative transportation and energy.
Surely this makes Honda the most environmentally-friendly auto manufacturer today?
