Police Car & Emergency Vehicle auctions: what the numbers say

There are 578 police car & emergency vehicle auctions open right now across 40 states, with the most in California (58), Oklahoma (42), Pennsylvania (39), Georgia (34) and Wisconsin (24). Most of them are on GovDeals, Proxibid and Purple Wave. The biggest sellers at the moment are State of Washington Surplus Operations, State of South Carolina, State of New York – Fleet and State of Utah. The next to close is (Verona, KY) 2016 Ford Explorer AWD Police Interceptor (1648130) at $350.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 2,052 closed police car & emergency vehicle sales, with a middle hammer price of $1,925 and a range from $1 to $21,500. By state, Georgia ran about $1,500 (183 sales), Tennessee ran about $2,225 (157 sales) and Ohio ran about $2,425 (154 sales). The buyer's premium, sales tax and pickup are on top of the hammer price, and each sale on this page links to the listing it came from.

Prices at government auction follow the seller, not the item: a state fleet that serviced a truck on schedule sells it for more than a county that ran it into the ground, and a sale that closes at 2 PM on a Tuesday draws fewer bidders than one that closes Sunday night. The listing's photos, the seller's name and the location tell you most of what you need; the sold prices on this page tell you the rest.

UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.

Before you bid

  • Look at idle hours. Police vehicles idle for long periods. Many listings show engine hours as well as miles.
  • Count the fees. Most auctions add a buyer’s premium to the winning bid, and some add document or gate fees. Check each site’s terms before you bid.
  • Inspect or have it inspected. Many sales allow previews. Our inspectors directory lists companies that will look at a vehicle for you.
  • Check the VIN. Run a free UX Vehicle History Report on any 17-character VIN before you bid.
