Vehicle Auctions (First time bidders see note at bottom)

 

This is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab seized by the Sheriff as a result of a forfeiture.  The answers to questions requesting additional information will be posted on the item description as the auction progresses.

 

Here is what I know:  The vehicle is a 4.7 liter 8 cylinder with 207,442 miles on the odometer.  The engine seems to run well.  Sounds good.  The tires are in faircondition and the front driver side tire has a slow leak.

 

Flaws.   The vehicle needs to be jump started.  Since it’s been sitting awhile, the battery will need to be replaced.    The driver’s seat adjustor is broken off.  Should be visible in a photo.

 

Keep in mind we have no history of the vehicle other than it was being driven when it was seized.  Since then it has sat in storage.  Good luck.

 

FORFEITED VEHICLES/SHERIFF’S SALES 

The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office currently disposes of forfeited vehicles through public auction on eBay.  The vehicles are listed with no reserve price, meaning the highest bidder wins the auction.  Auctions typically start at $100.00.  Vehicles are forfeited for a wide variety of reasons, from drunk driving to drug sales or fleeing a police officer. The vehicles also display a wide range of maintenance and repair (or disrepair, as the case may be).  The Sheriff’s Office does not have a mechanic, nor do we claim to know anything about vehicle maintenance.  For that reason, you are strongly encouraged to view the vehicle in person or arrange for someone to look at the vehicle for you prior to sale.  While the department will make every effort to note each defect or characteristic to help you make an informed purchase decision we simply don’t know cars to the level of detail that has been requested in some of the auctions held since the department started using eBay in 2002.  Bottom line, if the vehicle was being driven at the time it was seized we’ll tell you. From the time it comes into our possession, it gets towed or moved by flatbed. We don’t drive the vehicles. As such, we can’t attest to their operability. 

As each vehicle listed for auction on eBay was forfeited, it is unregistered and unlicensed.  Both details must be taken care of before the vehicle can be driven off the lot.  Out-of-state buyers can purchase 31-day permits for $11.00 at the local license bureau, which would allow the vehicle to be driven.  Minnesota residents must handle license and registration transfer prior to the vehicle being driven.  The local license bureau office (5 minutes away) is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  As for the title, when we seize a vehicle a rather lengthy paper chase begins.  The end result of that paper chase is that the Sheriff’s Office becomes the legal owner of the vehicle and our name is on the title.  We do not begin an auction until we have that title in our possession. At the end of the auction, the title is transferred from us to you.  You will leave our office with the vehicle, keys and the title in hand.   

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Unless otherwise stated, the condition of this vehicle is unknown.

2. This item is being offered "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" with no warranty or other guarantee as to its condition or fitness for use. As mentioned above, we don’t drive the vehicles and can’t attest to their operability.

3. We do not ship vehicles and all transactions must be in person.

4. Purchaser is responsible for transportation to and from the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River, MN.

5. Unless otherwise specified, vehicle will be available for public inspection/pick-up at 13880 Business Center Drive, Elk River, MN 55330 weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Standard Time.

6. Full Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the end of auction.

7. None of our vehicles come with license plates. Purchaser should check with local license bureau for licensing requirements.

8. Vehicle listed is offered on a competitive bid basis and must be removed within 20 calendar days from the end of auction.

 

Because of malicious buyers I cancel all bids of buyers with a (0) rating.  If you have a (0) rating you must contact me to bid.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
