GovdealsReviews of govdeals.com

Govdeals is an international online auction site and, as such, customers bid on assets from long distances with virtually no opportunity to inspect the assets. They have to rely on honest descriptions of the assets. I recently purchased a truck which was deceptively described and when it was delivered found it needed over $12,000 in repairs. This amount combined with my purchase cost put the total cost well above it's value. The dealer includes a statement in their Ts and Cs that any claim for misdescription must be made prior to removal of the property. Obviously, if the asset is being shipped, that is not possible. If Govdeals wants to be successful and protect their clientele, they need to forbid clauses like this in seller's Ts and Cs. Alternatively, sellers could give buyers 30 days to make claims of misrepresentation/misdescription which would be fair. Otherwise, many will walk away from this site after being harshly screwed and never come back as I will.

This is the worse place to buy cars. The stff is even worse. Government employees are under paid but can be harsh on their bad days.

GovDeals sold my son an Escalade for over 17 grand that essentially was a stolen vehicle. He has never received a title and it's been over 7 months since delivery. Buyer beware!! These people will take you for a ride

Seller 32293 – WRHLD in Toledo, Oh sold me a vehicle that "runs and drives" He even listed out the parts they put into it with a receipt. this car does NOT run and drive. I drove 2 1/2 hours one way expecting "runs and drives" to mean exactly that. He is a private seller, not a municipality.. Wouldn't waste my time on him passing junk on to you by not disclosing the problems are still there.

I used this website to buy a car. The seller supposed was “detained” according to employees at govdeals. I rushed to pick up the car and 7 months later I’ve still been waiting on a duplicate title because they said they didn’t have it… terrible experience

The Alabama rep is terrible and when I called the customer service number that girl is just as bad Everyone needs to be fired and start over They have 1.5 stars. lol. Nice

out of the multiple pictures taken, not one photo is of the damaged areas, and undisclosed mechanical issues. Customer Service is appalling. I called them out on this and my account was locked. Don't buy from them!

They refuse to investigate fraudulent bid walking and give you a cookie cutter response when you request it. Even with all of the proof and their own terms and conditions highlighted. Get the feeling they are in on it. Will no longer do any business with them.
