I live in SW Pa. Where can I find these auctions in my area ?

Crown Vic’s are tanks like suburban and Hoes

That's the way to buy!! ,I'm an old timer and I can't remember how many cars and trucks I bought in the day when we had sales papers for cheap!! Including muscle cars in the day like Z28 and BB Chevelle's!!

Less THAN

The government buys very reliable v8 domestic vehicles and they maintain them properly. It is commonplace to purchase reliable vehicles from government auctions.

You get what you pay for in this life.

Cheap everything is over…

Nothing is cheap, even if you get one through the dealer, they hike up the fees plus very expensive shop repairs. Only like finding a legit 100bill on the ground to find cheap

The auction price is the wholesale price. Look up the trade in price, if you can get a car below book trade-in it is a good deal. Bought a Honda Accord at an estate sale. Paid $2300, used it a year, traded it in and got $5500.

That's Bidenomics for ya!!

100% True. Let's go Brandon.

Back in the 80s, Law Enforcement vehicles were put up for auction at 80K miles. My dad told me that back in the 50s, law enforcement would auction off their vehicles with 40K - 50K miles.

Cars have different mileage life now.

Same with LS gm motors. Idling ruins the cam.

bro its 1500 dollars who cares

​@@KevenTomlinsonlets not talk about all the probs with the ecocrap engines from ford

@@alexanderkennedy2969 There is nothing wrong with the 2.7L and 2018+ 3.5 Ecoboosts. The earlier 3.5's had a single timing chain with the phaser issues. Ford fixed that with dual timing chains in 2018 and newer.

@@PatientXero607 false. id take any GM engine over any ecoboost. never had any problems with any GM product, and some of them were heavily abused, not maintained etc but kept going well past 300K miles

How much?

Taxes? We PAID FOR THE VEHICLES WITH TAXES

@@doyouevengrowbro Yes but the gov must sell them at auction. Governments cannot trade them in because that would allow collusion. Government assets are public property.

@@jennyanimal9046 At auction they are sold to highest bidder.

@@doyouevengrowbroWait til you get a job and start buying things on your own.

I work in the Gov Fleet. We definitely take care of your cars. The abuse comes from people who don't know how to drive.

@@DoubleMM70 I meant the idiots using them! I saw guys doing burnouts and neutral drops, running over curbs, spilling bags of road salt into truck beds, generally just trashing the city vehicles....

What kind of trucks do you have for sale? Also, where do you live?

@@johndriskill3376 We have only 1 pickup that we’re thinking about selling. It’s a diamond in the rough. It’s a 11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD with the 4.0L V6, 5spd automatic transmission, 3.55 gears in the rear. Limited slip differential, tow pkg. It was originally Silver, so I decided to break it up, so I had it 2 toned. It’s now Silver over Red metallic. I had it reupholstered in Red with black trim and stitching, custom pinstripes, LineX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, adjustable rear air shocks, custom wheels, new Cooper Discoverer A/T tires. Before adding the K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust system, I was getting 19mpg on the highway with the cruise set on 75mph. I now consistently get 23mpg. I also added window vents and a dashboard cover. Though it’s mainly used for work around our property, it’s always been babied. I change the oil every 6 months, (which is about every 1K miles to 1,500 miles). When it hit 30K miles I had the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid / grease changed, as well as the radiator was back flushed and new antifreeze was installed. Next week it’s going in for new front brakes and an alignment. The truck is detailed every year and 3 coats of Ceramic wax is applied. It still looks showroom new and has only 36K original miles. We are the second owner. The original owner was 62 years old when he bought it. It had only 20K miles on it in 19 when we bought it. He had just bought a new F150 and didn’t need the Ranger anymore. This is our 4th Ranger. We’ve been buying them since the 80s. They’ve proven themselves to be durable and reliable little pickups. A stock XLT with no customizations like ours books out for $22K, according to KBB. If we decide to sell it, we’ll ask $28K. We live in the mountains of north central Washington state.

Thanks for sharing that sounds like a beautiful truck. I live in Arkansas myself that would be over 1000 miles one way trip. The Ford Ranger wouldn't be able to tow my two large pontoon boats. I also carry 100 gallon fuel cell in the bed of my truck. I know someone will really be happy to purchase this one of a kind truck. Thanks for all the information. Have a great weekend!

@@johndriskill3376 Yeah, you’ll need a 3/4 or a 1 ton at least. Yes it is a 1 of a kind pickup. We’re only thinking about selling it as in a few years we’ll need to put a plow on the front to plow our private road on our land in Montana where we’re having a Log House built for our retirement years. I’m 7 years older than my wife and my health isn’t great, so I need to get her closer to her family so when I die, she’ll have family close by.

@@Doc1855don't tell anyone were you live , especially if your hording gold and such! People can be tricky

True, what doesn't figure is the state should invest in some duralube or at least Lucas. I know the funds are there.

Fords are worse with the turbos.

I think the trick is to NOT buy thru third parties and find the actual auction sites so you aren't paying the 10% or whatnot fees... I'm surprised this guy didn't mention you can find police sites with auctions instead of paying all the markups... I would have subbed if he took the time to mention such.

What police sites? Please explain

Thanks for the sub!

You can do it!

My 425000 mile 2011 Chevy Silverado would disagree. Same drive train as a Tahoe. You can get around the afm by plugging in HP tuners and simply flipping a toggle. Flushing the transmission fluid once every 100000 miles helps extend the life of the 6l80e.

@@streetratgarage It's a lot more than software my friend. You need a proper AFM/DOD delete kit including non-AFM camshaft to get rid the AFM completely. There is a still a chance of ending up with a lifter failure/trashed camshaft with a software delete alone.

@@PatientXero607 if you do not as yet have a problem with the active fuel management, lifters, collapsing, if you turn off the software, you will not have a problem. I have deactivated more than 50 units so far, including my own, without removing any of the active feel management mechanicals. Over seven years without any issues on any of the units again this is including my own 425,000 mile 5.3 L. With all the original active fuel management mechanicals still installed, and only software turned off.

He’s absolutely correct. Even if the engine runs, it’s likely the reason why the vehicle is being sold is because the engine and/or transmission is toast.

​Do you have a number or website to contact these dealers information please

Any time!

Thank you! You too!

My pleasure!

Well, the people who list the vehicles for sale do not get any of the money that the vehicle is sold for. It all goes back to the state of Indiana. So they have no reason not to be 100% honest.

Right on!

You bet

they should be fined for idling same way they do to truckers for idling.

Good estimate is that 1 idle hour is as much wear as 33 driving miles.

Just make sure you check them out very well. You can loose money if you over bid.

😂for real bud, the cops in my town hit 120mph for a dog on the road 😂I'm like wtf you would think it was something serious turns out it was nothing, not there car not there problem now if it was there own car they would never drive that way

Chuck again in about a month. People will have run out of their tax money by then. Prices will go down.

You're welcome 😊

You pull off the parts that you need and sell off all the leftover parts and scrap what’s left and by the end you actually wind up making money

@@streetratgarage I'm a chevy guy but it makes me wanna put a fuel injected hemi into an old dodge like a restomod

@@michaelmoses4019 put one in a old Chevy. No rules!

I don't have a car, so no car payment, insurance, upkeep, gas or registration. Imagine how much money I'm saving, especially considering I'm retired and am able to use public transportation. SUCKERS!

They always seem to have some f150’s up for sale.

@@streetratgarage We currently have a 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD pickup. It’s mainly used for work around our property. I figured that at our age, it would be the last pickup that we’d ever own. It’s our 4th Ranger. We’ve been buying them since the 80s. They’ve proven themselves to be durable little pickups. We bought it in 19 with only 20K miles. We don’t like Silver, Charcoal Gray or Black and ours happened to be Silver so I had it 2 toned (Silver over Red Metallic). I also had it reupholstered in Red with black trim and stitching. I then added a K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust system, rear adjustable air shocks, running boards, custom wheels, LineX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, custom pinstripes, window vents, etc. It has the 4.0L V6, 5spd automatic transmission, limited slip differential, tow pkg. I just put Cooper Discoverer A/T tires and next week it’s going in for front brakes and wheel alignment. It still looks showroom new with only 36K original miles. We’re thinking about selling it and buying a F150 4WD with a tow pkg. I’d like to have the 5.0L V8 (302 CID), as they’re an excellent engine. I already have a buyer for our Ranger. He’s willing to pay $28K for it. I can sell it and buy a F150 for work around our property and buy more gold only because our US dollar is going digital and that’s not a good thing. Our daily drivers are both 5 year old Subaru’s. My wife’s Outback has only 32K miles and my Forester Touring has only 15K miles. I’m retired so my wife and I will be going to MT this fall to look at some property to build a Log House for our retirement years after my wife retires. A full sized pickup will come in handy for hauling firewood. I went ahead and subscribed to your channel to get more of your content. Enjoy your day, Doc

I subscribed. Good info and topic

The 392 is a 6.4 L. 1 liter is equal to 61.0237441 cubic inches. Or 1 cubic inch is equal to 0.016387064 liter. So there is some math involved, but you can calculate it with this formula

392 is 6.4 litre 5.7 is 345 cu In.

A car that idles for one hour equates to 60 miles of driving, that would mean it would be exactly the same as driving a car down the interstate at 60 miles an hour at about 2000 RPMs for one hour?

​@@streetratgarage Thank you 😊

It is like buying from a regular individual. Some places you pay online but some places you have to pay in person. They do not give you a temporary plate. Some places make you trailer the vehicle away someplace like you just drive away. You’re responsible for going to the license branch and getting it titled in your name yourself. If you live out of state, the same rules apply as buying from a regular individual.

It’s tax time, people have money and they are over bidding on everything. Might have to wait a couple months till the money runs out

I disagree with your statement that these vehicles are stolen from the government from individuals. Approximately 90% of the vehicles at state and federal auctions are confiscated from drug dealers and chop shops that have been busted. Also included are the federal and state government vehicles, when they receive funding to replace the older vehicles and purchase new vehicles. It doesn't mean that these vehicles are mechanical disasters waiting to happen, as they are maintained meticulously by the federal and state governments mechanical shops. I will agree that the Dodge Chargers were a disaster purchase years back in the patrol car replacements. The largest portion of the vehicles are used by upper level officers as a take home vehicle. With the remaining being used by state patrol, county and city patrol divisions. The civil court division receives an allotted amount of vehicles used by the Deputies assigned to that Division, which serves legal documents, such as law suits, eviction etc. The Sheriffs Department handles all of the criminal documents such as arrests warrants and anything else dealing with a criminal case. My husband started his law enforcement at the age of 24, after his service ended with the Army. He worked at our county's sheriff's department, retiring at 20 years as a Lieutenant Deputy. He was still young at 44, he's a man that must be busy every day. He wasn't cut out for retirement at his age... I WAS ESPECIALLY NOT CUT OUT FOR HIS EARLY RETIREMENT...😢 AFTER THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF FISHING EVERY DAY AND DOING THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE, HE BECAME RESTLESS, BORED AND THEN REALLY CRANKY...UGH! After 3 months he applied with a neighboring county's sheriff's department. The average time starts to finish, once offered a position, tentative to passing all of the background checks, his immediate family, spouse and children, also passing criminal background checks. All of our background checks came back spotless. When you are the immediate family member of a law enforcement officer, you are also held to a higher standard as the law enforcement officers. After those were completed he had to pass the following tests: A 5 mile extreme optical course which included 2 miles of running through a maze of sorts in or under the maximum time allowed to finish the test...THINK BOOT CAMP BACK BEFORE NEW RECRUITS COULD WAVE A WHITE CARD TO BE EXCUSED FROM AN EXERCISE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE DUE TO IT BEING TO STRENUOUS 🙄 A score of 90% or higher at his shooting ability, that is comparable to the VARIOUS POSSIBLE SITUATIONS HE MIGHT NEED TO USE HIS WEAPON. A complete medical exam including his weight and BMI being at or below the guidelines for his height, to be able to be in law enforcement in that county. ***A SIDE NOTE ON THIS TEST ALONG WITH THE EXTREME OBSTACLE COURSE MY HUSBAND AND ANY OTHER DEPUTIES IN THE COUNTY HE'S EMPLOYED MUST DO THESE TESTS ANNUALLY. THE EXCEPTION BEING THE FIRE ARM TEST IS A MANDATORY QUARTERLY TEST*** I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY IN LAW ENFORCMENT THAT ARE SEVERELY OBESE. UNFORTUNATELY EACH DEPARTMENT HAS THEIR OWN STANDARD REGARDING THEIR TESTING. FAR TOO MANY DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ARE SEVERELY LACKING IN ENSURING THEIR OFFICERS CAN PERFORM THE DUTIES REQUIRED. MANY WHICH INCLUDE THE NEED TO CHASE DOWN AND CAPTURE A FLEEING SUSPECT. AT THE SAME TIME NEEDING TO AVOIDING ANY PHYSICAL FRACTION TO CIVILIANS OR PROPERTY SUCH AS A FENCE. MOVING ON... He had to pass a written test on the criminal statues in our state with a score of 85 or better. Last but not least were the 6 hours of psychological and aptitude tests. These included the ability to navigate all of Microsoft Window's Office tools, mathematical performance, and the comprehensive ability to learn the programs used daily along with reasoning and logical decision skills. All the above can take anywhere between 4-5 weeks for an applicant who has already passed the states law enforcement training and has been certified to work in law enforcement. He worked his way up to a Sargent Deputy in less than 2 years. Once he became a Sargent he was given a take home vehicle. Once when he had taken a few vacation days, he received a call from a mechanic at the county shop, that it was time for his vehicle to have a complete bumper to bumper check. This includes the engine, electrical, hoses, belts, heating and air conditioning, tire tread, steering alignment, transmission, the overall body and interior, the condition of the undercarriage and axle including all bolts and other parts... and I have no idea what else.. Another time when he was on vacation he was called because it was time for an oil change, or other fluid changes. I had to follow him to the county shop both times, to drop off his take home vehicle. The mechanical shop along with the officer in charge of scheduling all of the county's vehicle maintenance, sometimes doesn't check the officers schedule more than a few days in advance. He drives a 2010 Crown Victoria with approximately 230k miles... I asked him before making this post and he knew it was at least 230k. That vehicle drives better than cars that are 10 years newer. The county has been budgeted for several dozen new vehicles arriving in April. Most will be for the patrol division with the remaining to replace the Sheriff's Sargent's, Lieutenants and Captains within several divisions in the Court and Sheriff's office. These vehicles will be Chevrolet SUV'S I'm not sure what the patrol divisions will receive. He's sceptical about the newer vehicle's being mechanically sound. If it were up to him he would keep his never ending reliable Crown Victoria. However this vehicle will go to a government auction and sold for next to nothing... Whoever buys that Crown Victoria is getting a mechanically sound and clean interior with zero rips anywhere, including the driver's seat. We would purchase it as an extra vehicle, however county employees are not allowed to purchase ANY vehicles or other items owned by the county 😢 I understand that this is a lengthy post but I felt the need to assure you that government auctions are NOT stealing from people, except for the reason I listed earlier. In most cases these vehicles are government owned and well maintained.

@@mylegalassistants I can appreciate your sentiments about law enforcement and their righteous place in society. But the point I want to make it how it has become normal for others to think that some parts of my body or mind belong to them. Buy life is my own. God gave it to me! When the fruit of my labors are taken from me by force or coercion, my God given rights are diminished. It is legal for cops or other gov. Officials to take my property without trial, without proof of any crime, for which I must prove myself innocent to get it back. And the vehicles they have to sell that have not been stolen ought right, the moneys used to by them were acquired through threat of violence and extortion. We live in a sick culture where theft is normal. So, what is the most important of the Ten Commandments? It is “thou shalt no steel, because every command has to do with steeling something.

On this particular site, the buyers fees are different from agency to agency that has listed on this platform. But you can expect somewhere from 6 to 12% buyers fee plus taxes.

Just think how much more paranoid the people you are driving behind would feel.

I've owned one and daily drove it and it was a pain in the ass. If you are not paying attention everyone slams on their brakes when they see you behind them and you almost crash into them several times a day.
