Where can I find government surplus vehicles auctions in Illinois?

Can I filter Illinois vehicles auctions by distance from my ZIP code?

Yes. Most surplus is collected in person, so distance from you usually matters more than the state a lot sits in. In the GovAuctions feed you can enter your ZIP and set a radius of 25, 50, 100, or 200 miles, and the filter applies across every indexed platform at once rather than one marketplace at a time. Results sort by pickup distance, so a radius search also catches vehicles just over the Illinois state line that browsing by state alone would hide.
