The cars, dominated by Volkswagen's Audi, will tip off a nation-wide sell-off after central authorities decided to remove them last year amid the new leadership's ongoing frugality campaign. The cars are without plates and buyers need their own quota to buy a car.

A total of 3,184 official vehicles impounded by the central government are waiting to be dealt with however previous procurement lists show official sedans in this country could total millions.
