Federal Auctions
The U.S. Treasury Sells Its Seized Vehicles Online November 2 to 9. The Last Four Sales Brought a G63 for $128,000, a Cybertruck With 29 Miles for $79,000, and a Charger for $100.
The Treasury Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture's next general vehicle auction runs online from November 2 to 9, 2026, with a salvage-dealer-only sale closing the same day. The vehicles are what the IRS, Secret Service and Customs seized: Mercedes G-wagons, Lexus SUVs, Teslas, Toyotas, pickups, semis, trailers and export-only cars, sold with reserves, with every winner's name and price published two weeks later. Here is how the sale works, what the four 2026 sales brought, lot by lot, and where the results live.
WASHINGTON — Once a month, the United States Treasury sells the cars. They come from the cases the Treasury's law enforcement agencies work, the IRS Criminal Investigation division, the Secret Service, Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations under the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, and after the courts are done with them they go to one of three contractor yards, in Dayton, New Jersey, Pompano Beach, Florida, and Riverside, California, and from there to an online auction. The next one is the U.S. Treasury Vehicle Online Auction of November 2 through 9, 2026, listed on the Treasury's own auction calendar, with a companion sale of salvage vehicles open to licensed salvage dealers only, closing the same day.
The sale is run for the Treasury by Apple Towing Co. on the HiBid auction platform, and the catalog is on HiBid under the Treasury's name. The Treasury's calendar also lists the rest of the season: a fine jewelry sale that opened October 28 and closes November 4, a vessel and aircraft auction on December 2, a nationwide general property sale on December 9, and vehicle, vessel and nationwide sales through March 2027, with live simulcast sales in Riverside and Pompano Beach to be announced.

What the Treasury has been selling
The Treasury posts the complete results of every sale about two weeks after it closes, lot by lot, with the description, the odometer, the winning bidder's name and the price, and the 2026 results are the best guide to what November will hold.

Six sales, 444 vehicles, $5,186,525. The December sale was the largest, 121 lots including a 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith at $102,000, a 2018 Lexus LC 500 at $82,500 and a 2025 Range Rover Velar at $53,500. January had a 2014 Audi A7 at $62,000, two 2023 Lexus RX 350s at $46,100 and $41,500, a 1972 Chevrolet Impala at $30,400 and, among the odd lots the Treasury ends up with, a locomotive engine at $39,400. February's Hellcat Redeye was followed by two 2022 Toyota 4Runners at $36,100 and $33,300 and a 2012 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali diesel at $24,000. March had a 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel at $36,900, a 2022 Cadillac XT5 at $29,000 and a 2023 Explorer XLT at $27,700. April, the most recent results posted, is the one to read closely: the Cybertruck with 29 miles at $79,000, a 2022 Range Rover Sport with 2,401 miles at $75,000, a 2023 Mercedes GLE 53 AMG with 3,192 miles at $70,500, a 2024 Silverado 3500HD High Country at $66,500, a 2021 Toyota Highlander with 45,329 miles at $29,200, a 2017 Tesla Model X at $21,600, a 2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 at $15,600, and a 2019 Camry with 136,811 miles and multiple accidents reported at $14,000.
The bottom of every sale is as instructive as the top. In April a 2011 Dodge Charger with an export-only title sold for $100, and a 2007 Chrysler 300C located in Guam, with a bad alternator and front wheels that would not turn, for $125. A 2006 F-150 with an inoperable odometer and a title branded "exceeds mechanical limits" brought $2,600; a 2020 Hyundai Elantra recovered from a theft with a rebuilt salvage title, $4,100; a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 42,544 miles that would not start, $4,650. Eight to eleven lots in each sale carry an export-only branded title, which means the vehicle leaves the country and sells to exporters, usually for a fraction of the domestic price: a 2023 Chevrolet Onix at $5,200, a 2020 Tiguan at $9,300, a 2023 MG RX8 at $9,050. Trucks and trailers run through every sale too, a 1999 Freightliner at $10,300, a 2012 Kenworth T660 with 905,738 miles at $12,200, a 2003 International with a car hauler welded to it at $11,100, Wabash dry vans and reefers at $2,350 and $3,000.
The companion salvage sale is smaller and cheaper. April's sold eight lots for $27,850: a 2006 Kenworth T800 at $9,050, a 2023 Honda HR-V at $3,750, a 2019 Civic at $2,800, a reefer trailer at $3,100. It is open only to licensed salvage dealers, and the Treasury posts those results as well.
How to register and bid
Bidding is online only, through the HiBid catalog, where bidders register with the auctioneer, and the Treasury's terms require the registered bidder's government-issued photo ID at payment. The Treasury's own terms of sale apply on top of the auctioneer's, and they are unusual in three ways. First, every lot carries a minimum reserve unless the catalog says otherwise; if the reserve is not met, the government can withdraw the lot. Second, the winner's name is published: the terms say the registered bidder's name, the lot number, the description and the price go on the Treasury website under the Freedom of Information Act, and the results PDFs linked above show exactly that. Third, the government warrants only that the vehicle matches its catalog description, and a buyer who finds it does not has 30 days after removal to say so in writing, with the refund capped at the purchase price. Everything else is as is, where is, with all faults, and the catalog descriptions are frank about it: "Starts? Yes, with battery boost" appears on most lots, and notices such as "multiple accidents reported," "mileage inconsistencies," "previously reported stolen" and "export only" are printed where they apply.
Bidders must be 18, must not be federal employees barred from buying, and must not be the party the vehicle was seized from. Payment is by cash, cashier's check payable to U.S. Treasury/URS Federal Services Inc., or a credit card in the registered bidder's own name; personal and business checks are not accepted, and cash payments of $10,000 or more are reported to the IRS on Form 8300, which means a Social Security or federal ID number at the counter. Inspection is at the contractor's yard by appointment, and the terms say failure to inspect is not grounds to cancel a sale. Vehicles are picked up from the yard where they sit, Dayton, Pompano Beach or Riverside, and the catalog states which. The Treasury's calendar does not list a buyer's premium; the auctioneer's HiBid terms for this sale are the place to confirm one.
Why these sales are different
A state fleet sale is predictable: the same Fusions and Tahoes, the same mileage, the same buyers. A Treasury sale is whatever the cases produced. The same results PDF can hold a 29-mile Cybertruck and a Charger that sold for $100, a Rolls-Royce and a locomotive engine, a 2025 Infiniti with a handful of miles and a Kenworth with 905,000. The middle price has risen from $4,825 last November to $9,050 in April as the lot counts have fallen from 121 to 47, and the top lot in four of the last six sales was a Mercedes. The export-only lots and the branded titles are where a buyer who reads the fine print finds the bargains, and the reserve is why the bargains have a floor.
The November sale's catalog is on HiBid, with photographs and the odometer readings, and the Treasury will post the results, names and prices included, about two weeks after November 9. UX Auctions will carry them when they appear.
