www.ebay.com
As I mentioned previously even ebay hosts Government Auctions. You simply have to know that Government Agency or State's User ID. Go to ebay.com and right next to the Search button click on Advanced Search. After clicking on Advanced Search click on Items by Seller to the left of your screen. Where it says Enter seller's User ID type in the User ID and hit Search. It should take you directly to that State's auction page. If the State does not have any auctions running at that time,ebay will let you know. Here are some State User ID's I am aware of at this time. Simply click on the links below for a faster way to get there. If you are not yet a member of ebay click here to Register.

liquidatiom.com is a great site where the State of Georgia, the District of Columbia, and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority have hosted some of their auctions. I have found that they sell everything from computers to vehicles of all type. If I find any other State, County, City, or Government Agency selling through this site I will post it here. Go to the link above and sign up. It's free to join and you can find a lot of great items being sold by other sellers at great closeout price. Keep in mind though that a lot of these items are returns from stores and are sold As Is without warranty or guaranty. Many of them are also refurbished. Therefore you should carefully read the information provided by the seller before making a bid. Just like ebay though, you sometimes have to type in the Seller's ID in order to find their auctions. And the reason I say sometimes is because most of the times, if not everytime I have done a search for vehicles, the ones that came up were from the Government. Simply click on Advanced Search and enter one of the Seller Usernames below.

www.govdeals.com
govdeals.com is one of my favorite free government auction sites. It virtualy has auctions from every State in the union. But better than that, a lot of their auctions are narrowed down to local Counties or Cities. Check with them often. Just because there isn't something up for bid near you this week, doesn't mean there won't be one there the next.
Asset-Auctions.com is a site that mainly hosts surplus auctions for the States of Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. They auction off industrial equipment, municipal equipment, vehicles, machinery, and more.
The name of this site speeks for itself in terms of what is being sold. The site auctions off vehicles for the GSA, (U.S. General Services Administration) but I have seen vehicles authorized for sale by the IRS also. Many of the vehicles may seem to be auctioned for a high price but when you examine closer you will see that the mileage on many of these vehicles are very low. Which means that the vehicle has not been used that much.
Now here is a list of Official Government Auction Sites where you will find more info.
