The Government of Canada is auctioning off a bunch of used vehicles in B.C. and Alberta, and you could snag one for a steal of a deal — if someone doesn't outbid you, of course.
GCSurplus auctions off a ton of different items including anything from books, jewelry and clothes to secondhand cars and boats, and they often go for cheap.
Keep in mind, though, some do come with issues. It's important to review any mechanical or cosmetic issues before purchasing to see if it's worth putting extra money into or if you can fix it yourself.
So, whether you are searching for your first car or are just looking for a new pair of wheels, here are a few vehicles you can buy through the government right now.
