Ladies, Gentlemen (and you too re-tired). In the next month I will be placing our surplus vehicles on the internst for you you to consider for purchase. These vehicles are one owner, low mileage, well maintained vehicles. So when I get them on the website, you are all cordially welcomed to come to way2old's used car auction. The more you buy, the longer I can keep my job. Also will keep me paying taxes so our retired folks can keep recieving their monthly stipend. Have a ball boys and girls. See ya.

Here are a couple before the logos are removed

Those old Vics are becoming more popular everyday I think. Seeing a lot of retired cruisers being bought for work transportation. Ought to go fairly well for you I think.

We have been selling them on line for about a year. The person that was doing it is leaving and I got to assume that duty. More work, less personnel, lean, mean government machine. :shock: :?

bid away. We tried to sell 2 with all police equiptment but radio and could not get any bids over 500$

Those go from $500-$1000 bucks stripped at the local police/fire auctions up here. A lot of them are well over 200k also.

Ours run upwards of 1500$. But our mileage is under 150k on almost all of them.

Thats pretty good. I'm near a smaller community where they stretch everything as far as they can before it breaks. Usually rookie oficers banging them up. :lol:

Its a circle of life thing here. The state wears them out, the county and local departments buy them at auction, a quick maaco paint job and decals and wala! Instantly a new car. Then sold to the public when they are ready to start the circle over. :roll: :lol:

Anyway, nice looking Vics and good luck on the new venture. Hope there was a pay raise with the new chores at hand for you and congrats if there was a little extra jingle. [smilie=pdt_bis.gif]

All I get out of it is a new camera and more time in the office.
