You can buy a decent, reliable vehicle at these auctions. A guy I know bought a former police Crown Victoria for $2K. He drove it for 3 years, and all it needed was gas and the occasional oil change. He sold it for $2500. It wasn't a fancy ride, but it got him back and forth to work without any issues.

Years ago I worked with a nurse and he needed a little pickup for a commuter. He bought an older Ford Ranger 4WD with a 2.3L 4cyl and a 5spd manual transmission. It was an older Forester service pickup. It had about 140K miles on it when he bought it. He paid $500 for it. He drove it for several years before it finally died at almost 400K miles. The first thing he did to it was he changed the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission grease. He did that every 50K miles until it finally died. Around 300K miles he had to replace the 4WD system. It had the manual locking front hubs. He absolutely loved that old Ranger. When it finally died he bought another Forest Ranger pickup and had driven it for a few years. I retired so I don’t know how long it lasted. Another friend of mine was a Forest Ranger and he was given a new Jeep Cherokee with the inline 6cyl and a 4spd manual transmission. It too was a 4WD. He babied the Jeep and when it hit around 150K miles his boss came to him no and said that it too was going to auction, but if he wanted to buy it, the Forest service would sell it to him for $600. He too bought it because he had babied it for its entire life and knew that it was in great condition for the mileage. When it hit about 200K miles they gave it to their son for his college car. That old Jeep got him through his Masters degree. We’re thinking about selling our current low mileage pickup and buying a 3/4 to 1 ton 4WD pickup for work around our property and putting the money from the sale of our current pickup and buying more gold.

@@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.

Way back in the 80's when no one knew about these or the customs auctions you could pick up really, and I mean really cheap, deals. I picked up a Customs shipping container of Sony TV's in Miami for $300 and sold them off to a local retailer for a nice tidy profit. An associate bought a DEA Lamborghini for $5K. Replaced the windshield, a rim and tires and drove it for a year before driving it to a dealer and selling it because the insurance premiums were eating him alive. But then people started finding out about these, and then the auctions started putting reserves in or someone would be sitting next to the auctioneer whispering to him, it got to the point there wasn't any point in going any longer. Last one I went to was in the early 2000's in Orange County FL. There were no "deals" to be had there. Hell, they even charged admission if you were going to be bidding.

I just found your channel and subscribed. These comments arguing over which engine is garbage is kind of funny. Every manufacturer has had some bad years, bad design, or bad updates to every motor and transmission. Some recalled, some allowed to fester and wreak havoc on the publics pocketbook. I've owned virtually every single configuration brand, engine, and configuration in my life. My old F-Series with a 351 and 3 speed manual had 500k miles in it when I sold it. My 2017 3.5 EcoBoost was a beautiful piece of garbage. Bad cam phasers 3 times in 96k miles. My brother's Chevy High Country was actually bought back by GM because it had so many issues. Personally, a 2500 truck that needs a steering rack or new main seal is still a good deal. Good luck, everyone!

Miles may read 100,000, however that doesn't account for the 100's to 1000's of hours we sit around idling. Also, I have NEVER seen a work vehicle receive oil changes or maintenance anywhere near on time. Factor in that idle time and that motor is going to have excessive wear and tear. Just something to keep in mind. Check for leaks, bad gaskets, knocks and ticks, etc.

Govt maintenance schedules are usually looooong intervals because they know they will be replaced with relatively low mileage,usually within 3 years before the warranty expires or just as it expires. It's a crap shoot as to condition. The Govt agency I worked for rarely had their vehicles serviced unless a problem was reported, otherwise they just drove them, no oil changes no nothing..sold them off after 3 years and bought new . Same 3 year cycle because they knew the vehicle would be fairly reliable for that long, considering the neglected service intervals. May not be like that everywhere but I would be VERY cautious about a purchase unless you know what your getting and it's very very cheap.

I work for FDOT and drove a 2000 Ford F 7700 which was a Duel fuel F150 on a 1 ton chassis with 7 lug wheels. I drove it for 15 years and it had a regular 302 V8 with a small alternator. This vehicle, when it ran , stayed In the shop all the time. It sat running everyday for 12 hours a day or driving. As far as maintenance there should be a policy to replace a vehicle when you have as much money in it as equal to it's value. But no, they have a budget for maintenance instead. The truck ran for 200,000 miles and the state had over $250,000.00 in repairs. If they had ordered it with a heavyduty alternator or dual battery system because it bad to stay running because the battery would die due to the required safety lights. It was a piece of crap 4 rear ends, it was $1200 labor every time a coil went out and it had 54 replaced, 3 transmission s, 4 timing belts, It would randomly quit, the front suspension was replaced 18 Times from 20,000 miles and could not fix it. It beat 16 set of tires square finally ended up with 10 ply tires that were $1200 ta piece and it still shimmied, vibrated and bounced. So I don't put ANY stock in maintenance in them.

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

My problem with this type of auction; all this property is stollen! No one consented to the theft of their property, weather stollen by taxes or strong arm by cops. Buying stolen property is the same as voting for abolition of your right to own anything. Just because it is commonly does not make it right.

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.
