Public agencies such as IRS, DEA and FBI and the police seize vehicles each month. These vehicles are then auctioned to the public because the law allows them to have listed and sold at up to 95% discount on the original value with a clean title. With the economy so weak vehicle seizure is a common occurrence. $ 100 is sometimes the amount of these auctions kick off.
The reason that the government can afford to sell them so cheap is because it actually costs them more to keep and maintain them. They are mainly purchased by the return from people who defaulted loans payments, fraud and failure to pay taxes. Sometimes, they are taken from some illegal activity - usually from drug trafficking or smuggling.
