Advantages of the Receita Federal Motorbike Auction
As mentioned above, one of the main advantages of buying a motorbike at a Receita Federal auction is that, as it is a public body that doesn't aim to make a profit but simply to raise money for the Union's coffers, the starting bids tend to be lower than at auction houses on the market.
Another advantage is that motorbikes seized by the Receita Federal are usually in excellent condition. Of course, there are exceptions and there are some bad bikes. But we're talking in general terms.
We have several reports from readers and clients who have already bought motorbikes at the Receita Federal Motorcycle Auctions at prices up to 60% below market value. Some for their own use or even to work and generate income from the motorbike. Others bought to resell on the market and make a good profit.
Security at IRS auctions
One of the reasons why most of the motorbikes auctioned by the Receita Federal are in good or excellent condition is because many of them are used by Receita Federal employees.
And since it is a public government body responsible for collecting money for the public coffers, it has plenty of cash on hand to fulfil its objectives.
So their motorbikes are well looked after, with preventive and corrective checks up to date. And they are only auctioned off because they reach the mileage limit stipulated by the federal agency, which is approximately 40,000 kilometres.
And since all preventive and corrective maintenance is documented by the Receita Federal, it is always possible for interested buyers to analyse the entire history of the motorbike. This is also a great advantage of the Receita Federal Motorbike Auction compared to other auctions on the market, where it is rarely possible to have the entire history of the motorbike documented.
