Auctions Wholesale

Are impound car auctions available to the general public in California?

I want to attend some impound car auctions and I'm not sure if they're open to the public in California or if I need some sort of dealer's lisence.

Public Comments

1. They are open to the public..
2. They're suppose to be yes, but the auctions themselves are kept discreetly advertised so that the impound may auction the car to itself increasing the bill for the impound to include an additional auction fee, and then sell it for real the second time around turning another full profit once again, and at the same time avoid discounting any part of their profit off of the previous car owner's impound bill. If my memory still serves me, the dealer's license was not for an impound to sell a car, but rather to buy one from a dealer who took a trade-in that just would not pass smog or other equipment requirements. Since a dealer cannot sell these used cars to consumers, they sell them to those with dealer's licenses such as an impound. */End of Line.
