you are not able to access to those auctions easily, you need to have hook ups with those used car dealership guys

if it's a public auction they are not running cheap at all

The only problem is that that is where they start. So, seeing as it is an auction, the final bid will most defin. be MUCH higher than $1k.

they don't mention where the price ends up, shop the net for a couple of weeks/months, you will find something at a real good price, trust me, patience is a virtue

that's what the ads are for, they start at a low price and attract ppl to bid on it, just like ebay...it starts at 99 cents and then it may end up higher than market price

back in Hong Kong I saw an ad of an auction for a modded IS200 and it's very clean, they start at 15k US but for sure it's gonna cost a lot more at the final price

I wouldn't buy one of those old cop cars for anything. I'm a firefighter so my chief drives one to fires. however I'm a Lt. so if he isn't there I get to drive it. I've gotten to drive it a couple times. it has 75 k on this crown vic wanna talk about a POS. the seat falling apart, the steering wheel shakes when you put on the brakes, the thing burns oil like it's on fire. we(my station) better get a new officer's car next year or I'm gonna start taking my beater to fire.

Plus this isn't uncommon. cops near us are starting to quit using Crown vics partly because their "turds." they are going to Impalas, one dept went to a Dakota 4 door, another one uses, Explorers. seems like just our state troopers are the ones still buying Crown Vics.
I wonder if the Muraders are built any better. I thought that would be a perfect cop car but if it's built like the Crown vics forget that.

But on topic...I've never known anyone who's even gone to a gov't auction either. I wonder if there's a forum for those who bought off auction.

It might be worth going to one just to watch but not go to buy. I'm sure most that go are regulars looking for ebay cars or something.
