Calgary Police auction on April 17th

[Graham_A_M]

Im not too sure if anybody knows about this.

They have some great deals to be had. When I was much younger I picked up a sportbike for $150. :dunno:
I just thought I'd make it known about it. The vehicles are listed by manufacturer, so go by that for whatever you're after.
A few years later I picked up a running car for $400, the kind that would list on Kijiji now for $3k. So there are some wicked deals to be had for sure.
They have them every month. Last month I was too late, but they had an MKIV Supra there. I was a day late towards posting it here.

They now have a minimum bid of $500 per unit, so nothing leaves for under $500. Another thing to note is that a lot of vehicles that are on the auction list get pulled before the auction and do not end up going through the auction.

[ROBOCOP]

Could any of those vehicles have Liens on them? I would assume if the bank owns one of those vehicles they would go in and claim it on behalf or no?

Those that are claimed yeah, they get pulled. Unless you're bidding on dog shit, $500/vehicle isn't too bad.

That 2009 Sierra would be a sweet work truck!

[shakalaka]

That's just start right. I doubt something like that 2010 CRV would go for less than at least a few k's after everything is said and done.

[sillysod]

the 2002 reservation Malibu is so nice.... haha

[GQBalla]

some good deals to be had, only thing that caught my eye was the 350z and the CRV

too bad you can't tell if they even run.

I also assume there are no keys?

[spikerS]

I went to it a few times, and the price people are still paying for these things, without being able to start them up, or take any time to inspect them.

I stopped going because people were paying 5 or 6k when the ride is worth 3. just boggled my mind.

Too many greasy paki and lebs at these things driving the prices up.

That's because they know the value of what's hidden behind the 1/4 panels :rofl:

Not that far off really.

[03ozwhip]

^^its true without a doubt. i used to go to the police auctions years ago too, missed out on some real gems because i was a broke ass back then and ya now at any auction, idiots are driving the prices up whether its rigged or they are just morons, i dont know.

[hurrdurr]

Even the regular auctions - Regal/Graham. They're straight up idiots

[AndyL]

I dont understand it... I went to a few, and its not worth it... your like minimum 625$ (yeah read your fine print and fees) for anything, most are 300$ beaters, with no keys and god knows what wrong with them... yet they'll sell for 1500-2000$

:dunno:

2005 X5 and 2010 CRV look good

almost guarantee it won't be in the auction either. if they are the X5 will go for 26 and the CRV will got for 13.

[403ep3]

I wonder what happened to that X5, looks like the driver side window was shattered.

[03ozwhip]

its a police auction, theyre seized vehicles for one reason or another.

[Graham_A_M]

So much hate, holy shit. I wasn't sure if too many people knew about it, so I posted that.
That was obviously a bad idea. :dunno:

[toastgremlin]

Speaking of auctions, how bad is Regal these days?

Whenever I drive past while it's running, the traffic is insane so I'm guessing they're crowded full of people trying to get a "deal."
