Repossessed cars for sale: Why buying repossessed cars for sale is so lucrative?

In the last couple of years, many regular Americans have discovered and started bidding on bank repossessed cars for sale. This buzz has gone further than ever before, and it has turned what used to be a close realm for car dealers into a popular marketplace. So, the question is: why is it that so many people are bidding on repossessed cars for sale these days?

The answer to the question above may not be as simple as it seems to be. The main reason is somewhat obvious: repossessed cars for sale can be bought for as low as 20-40% of their usual street price. This means that, even if the buyer still needs to make some repairments on the vehicle, he can invest 50-70% of the vehicle's price and he'll still be getting a good deal.  Now, is that a bargain or what?

A second reason for the recent popularity of repossessed car auctions is not so evident. The thing is that people are tired of being scammed when buying used cars in the usual places: car dealers, from private owners, through online classifieds.. These have all proven not to be trustworthy environments, while public car auctions, even when attendants need to know the local lingo and codes, are much more regulated marketplaces.
