Vehicle Surplus Auction - State of New Jersey

10,000 for that last suburban! Unbelievable

[@bkell1011]

I'll second that 10,000 times.

Think Eastern Europe export for the VIN?

That’s a 4000 dollar truck on its best day!

[@76calidude]

I was thinking the same thing. Makes no sense to me. Half those were junk

[@robertdiehl9003]

Chris, you finally got to my spot. Lee Fox, the auctioneer, is totally awesome and fabulous...I bought 2 Crown Vic there in past 2 years. Every 30 days, new auction begins.... I ranted in a past post on ur site how destroyed the crap nj sells at that auction. Shame on NJ for selling cars with no brakes. As is/where is definitely is a dangerous game...

[@mexicanspec]

If you get the car for cheap, which seems to be the case here, you can fix the brakes. Look at the prices at Copart for worse vehicles. You are lucky to still be able to buy cars for that kind of price.

[@minutemanproductions8029]

Everytime there's a new surplus auction video from ECC it's like Christmas morning

[@hullinger]

Haha, you're the best!

[@MrYAMAHA32177]

I have worked auctions on the gulf coast for over thirty years and seen a lot of shenanigans in my time. Show up early with a grease pencil and write scary stuff on the windshield's of vehicles you want to buy, caught a dealer in Baton Rouge pulling a/c fuses and pouring transmission fluid into intakes to make the vehicles he wanted to buy less appealing to others.

[@mph5896]

Slimy people. One of the crazy things I saw, My brother bought a really clean police Explorer from a State agency site unseen. It was listed as having a misfire and check engine light. He picked it up, and had to tow it thinking the engine was bad. I diagnosed the thing, a spark plug was MISSING and the coil on plug was back in place along with the evap solenoid being unplugged. I ran a compression test and it was perfect. Poped a new plug and reconnected the evap sensor and it was perfect! Not sure if a government employee sabotaged it or ?

[@1974bron]

I bought my 10' Mercury Grand Marqis in Trenton,but on Copart aukcion.Greetings from Poland.That silver Crown Vic is in nice shape.Engine not running?No problem.Thank you for nice trip.

[@katiejameson]

Damn, love all your videos. This auction is sweet!! I'd have bid at least $100 on the old Dodge dump truck, cheap farm truck

[@dangerousmythbuster]

Almost guaranteed that someone bought that Suburban to transfer the VIN to another Suburban (maybe a stolen one). I don't know what else on that vehicle would make it worth that much.

[@hullinger]

I didn't even think of a VIN swap scenario but that's certainly a possibility.

[@b-genspinster7895]

The pcm and other electronic parts are probably worth a mint considering the pandemic shortage. A bodyshop owner told me the vin is stamped in a lot of places including the frame. If an inspector was looking closely enough, someone might have some explaining to do but those body swaps do occur everyday on hot vehicles I’m sure.

[@andromeda9340]

[@jamesthompson8008]

@@b-genspinster7895 Humor here in extension of context - your comment reminds me of the office scene from the 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds regarding 'Jill' the orange Challenger - "The adjuster that handled that total loss on the Challenger you did saw it on the lot @Prince Chrysler yesterday & wants to know how in the hell that T/L he did 3 days ago is back on the road!?"

Definitely a bunch of rough vehicles. 😕 I drive by that place once in awhile when I work in the area. Thanks for showing us what they had.

[@hullinger]

Thanks for watching man. That road that the auction site is on was kinda weird. It started nice with a golf course but slowly turned a bit ugly than turned decent again. All within a mile or two.

[@rsprockets7846]

Where do they advertise and do they get e mail notifyx. How about the one in holmdel

[@lindensd6273]

Why was that last destroyed car sold for 10k? Who would buy that?

[@weaves22]

If you have the time to go through the car, taking off all the pieces that were undamaged, and sold them separately, you'd make a killing! Especially if the engine and trans are still good! But $10k is hefty lol. Probably still going to 1.5x-2x that money though.

[@JohnDiMartino]

They are also paying for the Vin # especially if there sell insured that means it’s sold with a clean title not a salvage title.

[@joescalise4653]

Thanks for the NJ auction walk around. I'm always interested in seeing what other auctions are about and the vehicles they have. 10,000 for the Suburbanis a lot of money for a badly damaged vehicle. Someone must have wanted the parts . 😎😎😎😎

[@hullinger]

I was thinking the same exact thing about the $10k for that wreck of a Tahoe. Somebody must think there's a lot of profit in parts.

[@joescalise4653]

@@hullinger I know something is Fishy about that.

[@robertdiehl9003]

Buy at auction, steal duplicate off street, transfer vin's off smashed unit onto stolen, place vehicle into steel shipping container and send/sell over seas . That simple.. common sense of putting the pieces together...

nice video interesting change of setting. very reasonable prices on those crown vics.

[@DeluxeBrian]

That blue on the taurus looks really good

[@alexb.1320]

Interesting range of prices at this auction. Also interesting that what amounts to a wreck is pulling high prices, especially that suburban at the end--somebody must really have liked that strap holding down the tailgate... =-)

[@hullinger]

Haha, good one about the strap on the tailgate. And I had to double check the selling price and yeah, $10K

[@Wanderer-uz8js]

5:06 funny you mention it as a disposable car because my buddy saved this exact one and is restoring it as NJSP with the correct graphics and equipment. The car was mechanically better than most vics at that auction. So I guess our win 🤷‍♂️ has a good home in the Poconos in a garage along with 12 other nice vics

[@samuelstrange3221]

Hey sorry to ask but on my 2015 police charger the same thing that happened to yours happened to mine could u make a video on how to change the wheel speed sensor if u haven’t fixed yours yet? Thank you.

Great ep! Can't wait for the next one.

[@jamesthompson8008]

Just wanted to say great vid & I really appreciate your newer format showing the sale price of vehicles as they appear on screen! I think is much better than how you did it before. And actually, $2500 was decent deal on the first Suburban, just clean n flip as work truck would more than double the money.

I would love to see you have fun with a suburban 2500, Im looking for one currently and would love an up close review.

[@Harry11315]

Also OMG that 2500 burb for $2500 was an insane deal, just a junkyard middle and real seat and take those partitions out, maybe a good cleaning and its a steal, those are like $10-15k. I would love to know more, was that suburban damaged besides the minor interior stuff?

[@jamesthompson8008]

@@Harry11315 I agree, is definitely a steal - another route is just hose HELL out of it, use it for tow/haul rig. Those are excellent for it, as most hardly ever really carried REAL weight while in service.

[@seltzerstransport1093]

That dodge dump stick truck painted and running will bring 10 k on eBay. I can’t believe no one bid on it. I’d have bought that in a heart beat.

[@nlpnt]

Most everything else that's driveable is something that could be flipped to people who need a car. Think BHPH lot. The dump truck is a different matter - a buyer would either need a dump truck and have the skills to maintain an old one that's a significant part of your livelihood or want an '80s Dodge truck and have the skills to strip the dump bed off and put on a pickup or stake bed, and sell the dump body.

[@nickhoffman5524]

Wow prices were insane there

[@dave11686]

Pretty sure that mount in the Crown Vic would be for an MDT

[@brittballard4030]

I would have bid on that old green dodge dump truck in a heartbeat.

[@garbagemanbear406]

Most of the banged up 2016-2019 explorers have been through very bad accidents judging by the damage. I remembered a year ago a WCSO 2016-19 Explorer got tboned by a speeding car and the deputy was injured. Unfortunately I assumed the car was totaled completely and never saw that specific car again ever since

[@apolloniaaskew9487]

Only 2007-2014 Tahoes came in 2wd police package The 2015-2020 Tahoes came in PPV 2 and 4 wheel drive; the SSV came in 4 wheel drive only. The 2007-2013 Suburban 3/4 ton only came as Fleet, LS and LT. You would really be lucky to find a 2016-2019 Suburban 3500.

[@cvpiDOTnet]

So I am guessing 2007 to 2013 (there as no 2014) 3/4 ton Suburbans are not common in your area if you never seen one before at auction. Here in Texas they are very common with cities for the Fire Department, School districts and public works. I see them often and they do pretty well here averaging $7000 to $10000 depending on year and 2wd or 4x4 (Most all are 2wd). There was never a SSV Suburban 3/4 ton or fleet only, it was a LS or LT1 or LT2. Yes the US Government had these, but it was nothing special to local cities. They also made the 2016 to 2019 Suburban 3500HD for fleet only and those are mostly federal government, but some are in local cities hands. Very few were converted to a Duramax and sold to the general public from a third party company. So if you see a 8-lug 2016 to 2019 they are very rare and will go for big money. Oh and you will never be able to get the smell of dog out of any past K9 vehicle, that smell will always linger in there. They are almost not worth the money just because of that unless the person buying it has dog. The mount over the radio is for the MDT computer, surprised you never seen that before. I think you had something like that on a Caprice PPV you had or saw at auction in the past. That one moved out of the way and the radio was still there and that is because in a Caprice the radio is a part of the climate system and cannot be removed. I think that second Crown Vic you saw with the bench seat was a P73 as to many things looks civilian and not police/fleet like the cluster appeared to not be 140mph. Here in Texas with the state, they ordered many P73 cars just like that for non-Trooper units like admins. Also that black box is a Tremco interlock, you have too of come across these before with the foot button on the floor. The ticket light in the rear on the police SUV is a factory option, need light back there to see all the cop stuff in the rear. My 2013 Ford Interceptor Utility from Texas DPS had the same light. Anyway, good video and always look forward to watching them. I do miss the live auctions, but times have changed and they are pretty rare now a days.

[@hullinger]

Such a great comment and information. Thanks so much for taking the time to share all that. I appreciate all of it!

[@hullinger]

I also wanted to get the total bids on each of those cars and trucks. The problem was the auction bidding was live and in person and way too much to keep up on.

[@kevink.2719]

Interesting to see the pricing and that was probably a gun safe in the Explorer why did that last suv go for 10k

[@hullinger]

I was thinking the same thing about the safe in the center console. I was also thinking that with a bit of time I bet I could figure out that three digit combo. Reminds be of those old bicycle locks.

[@P00katube]
