The vehicle I purchased had a flat tire when I picked it up which was not pictured nor disclosed when I arranged to pick it up, Also the center main screen was totally inoperable which was also not disclosed. I was quoted $1600 by Ford to replace the screen. Without it the stereo, bluetooth and rearview camera do not work.

Bait and switch, bought an item was told it functioned, received it wet and rust l over, non-usable.But good old GovDeals got the commission up front. If you don't pay they lock you out, that would have been doing me a favor. NEVER send a CASHIERS check. Money back please.

Stay AWAY from buying any vehicle unless it is listed by a GOVERNMENT agency. It's now got so bad, that it looks like 50% of the vehicles are now being sold by tow/repo companies and used car dealers. They are far from a Government related agency anymore. Like others have said, they are allowing all kinds of "questionable" people to sell on their site now. So don't buy ANYTHING unless you see it is owned by a GOVERNMENT agency. Don't buy anything that has it is being sold by some sort of "Liquidation" company or any other non-name agency. many now just use letters. I haven't nor will I every buy anything from these companies.

I have been buying on govdeals.com for years. Overall it has been a positive experience, although some sellers are much better than others. Last week I entered some of my bids on the "MyBids" summary page instead of individual items pages. Even though the entry lines say "Max Bid", and I had autobid turned on, all of those bids went straight to my max bid. The evidence is in the bid history. The final bid should be the second highest plus one bid increment. They ended up nicking me for an extra $76 and change. When I called and asked for a credit or refund they told me that I must have done something to mess things up, and that the final bid was my responsibility, not theirs. I will be reporting this to the FTC, as should anyone else this has happened to.
