This is excellent advice. #5 is useful in most any situation where haggling is involved. Reply reply. thelawtalkingguy. •. Also keep in mind that at police auctions, the cops and their friends have cherry-picked anything of value or any road-worthy vehicles long before you have arrived. Reply reply. [deleted]
I don't know where you live, but I work in municipal purchasing including disposing of police vehicles via auction. Steer clear of any police vehicles. There may be some me that have been maintained, but generally, they are idled for hours, driven hard, and cared for minimally. There's three cars idling outside my office every day, 24/7.
They have car auctions everyday of the week except holidays. Cars usually start at $100. Cali Auction also auctions cars every Tuesday and Friday. Cars there start at $300. 15. Award. fmontez1. • 6 yr. ago. Publicsurplus.com and look for the motorpool.
Entirely the luck of the draw. Just like any of the lower end auctions. A bit of weird advice on buying cars at police auctions. Since they were impounded and in many cases were drug related, you may consider having a police dept run a drug dog around it as you wouldnt want to be responsible for any leftover "stuff" in the future.
A lot of the luxury cars are due to non-payment, some are seized. A lot of stereotypical cars were also seized like escalades with huge rims that cost more than the car, SUVs tricked out, or old hoopties with candy paint jobs as well. final advice; after picking up the car, have local police do a courtesy walkthrough/search.
18. I once bought a bicycle at a police auction. It had the original owner's contact information engraved on it. Turns out that when they recovered the bike from the thief, the original owner had already replaced it and didn't want it back. It was good for me cuz I had a $20 Schwinn that was worth at least $100.
I'll try to come back with some more info if I get the chance. A friend of mine bought three cars there for around $2k. A Chevy Lumina, an F150, and a Mustang. The Lumina just needed a new hood, the truck had been t-boned and had frame damage, and the Mustang was in perfect shape, and received his old Mustang's engine.
The public. It's the yards way of recouping the lost money on the impound and tow fees. If the car sells for more than 500 dollars in California, the money must be shared with the police department. If less, they keep the money. Either way, that car becomes the property then and there of the high bidder.
All these cars are police impounds, repos, and general junk cars people have removed from their property. There are two sections, runners and non-runners. Non-runners are just that. When the vehicle was towed to the auction, they could not get it started. Trying to get it started comprises of using the key if there was one.
Some cars in the auction have license & it says you buy title & rights, but the bank can still take the car? Shouldnt the bank lose thier rights to the car since they had a chance to come and pick it up from the police? Im looking in NYC and NJ, i dont know if both states have different rules. In the nyc auction site it states.
