I have that same 2014 Charger (minus the wheels). I bought it off eBay for $2500 with a bent pushrod and the valve cover off. Dealer quoted needing a new engine and rear axle seals for $11k. It was the police chiefs car out of a small town. Guy babied the car, even installed carpet in it paying out of his own pocket. I though he was going to cry when I hauled it away. Anywhooo, I went through it. New cam/lifters, axle seals, a couple front end parts and brake pads. $1k in parts and its perfect now. $8k for that car with a bad cam 🤣

It is a hard time to be a "cheap car" enthusiast. We just had a local auction today and the pricing was unreal, CVPI's are selling for $4,000 at the auction... right now the auction is like another car dealership but with no warranty, and no one to complain to if the car is broken. We just helped a family friend get a low mileage gov't owned Ford Escape from auction... it was a 2008 with like 86K miles... it was won for the market price of $5,750... right now is just a hard time with inflation, crazy pricing on everything, and somehow everyone just keeps buying. When the market corrects, that's going to be messy. Great job on the video as always!

Hi Chris, it's always a fun hanging out with you on this surplus auction platform, thanks for sharing man.

The prices on the 2012 & 2013 Tahoes are crazy! Thanks for sharing these.

It's a miracle! I thought about your channel and you just posted 50 sec ago! I love your videos sir!

Love the state auctions that you do

Its shocking how these "modern" government vehicles have SO MANY common issues with engines and transmissions. Crown Vics didn't have it NEARLY as bad!

Thanks for posting. I enjoy these auction walk rounds, especially with the sale price. I'm glad I'm not a car dealer, the crazy market conditions and very mixed inventory availability. A real minefield.

High prices on some well used vehicles. Thanks for the video!

Our states Police department are using hybrid Camry's in Brisbane Australia. They sell with about 100,000klm on them.

Prices are still kinda high, but they say July car sales stall because everyone spends money on vacations….

Those PPV Caprices are truly a rare find. I am surprised that more agencies did not buy them during the 6 model years they were built. I like the 2015 to 2019 Tahoe police vehicles, but that AFM crap is a pain to deal with.

Cool stuff there. I'm in California so 5 bucks a gallon is a deal here. LOL It's 6.50 plus. I have an 06 Crown Vic PI w/ 231k on it. They're not nearly as good as the Charger's and Caprice's but that little 4.6 goes forever. Sadly it's gonna sit for a while as I'm driving my 2015 Golf TDI. 50 MPG baby!

Hello Chris, love the Auctions I'm so glad you didn't get the Honda Odyssey Van, those are Notorious for Engine and Transmission issues, I tried to warn my niece and she bought one and has sunk a ton of money into it keeping it going. Thank you for another great video till next time my Friend.

When did transmission solenoids get to be so expensive?

Always nice when you take us along on your auction trips. I agree that DE State Police blue is a fantastic color. That Caprice was probably run hard as a highway car. I've never seen a DSP Caprice not on or near a highway. It would explain why the lights are so hazed. On the Expedition, cloth front/vinyl rear/console delete was a fleet option. This was probably a police special use vehicle. Dark gray is a low-profile police color, not so much fire service. It looked pretty clean though, would make a good family hauler if gas wasn't crazy expensive. The rest of the cars looked reasonable but I get not wanting to take a chance on them.

The auctioneer is doing everyone dirty by not disclosing the obvious "mechanical issues" that are sometimes even noted on the windshield.

Still want a caprice even with a V6 lol I just like them but haven't see any for sale in a long time I drove a few with the 6.0 definitely a fun car

I don't know why anyone thinks used car prices are dropping? Even beaters are expensive now. That wasn't the case a year ago.

Always enjoy your videos!!

State of New Jersey now has switched to mostly all Toyota hybrids & getting away from Ford's/dodge/Chevy....

I really enjoy your videos Chris

Always fun. Thank you.

the auction prices haven't come down yet I see! Yikes!!!

0:50 - can't believe those prices you mention... that must be why you said I could probably only get $6k for mine. That's almost a 50% drop

That last 2013 Tahoe, WTF was the deal on those tires!! They may have been Original Equipment but I doubt it!!!

I love your videos!

The auction videos always interest me. Thanks for sharing!

as i've said tap the bumpers with your to check for cyl, clanking.

I’m really surprised how much rear leg room those Caprices have! Nice video Chris

I always love these videos did you get rid of your Lincoln Town car yet the 97 I believe it was that was a nice car?

I doubt they were intentionally hoarding cars, it's more likely that they won't sell something unless they have a new car to replace it.

Glad your back with another 🔥🔥 video!!

wow they are numbers with a bit ( or more) of risk. thanks from Delco

Well its been awhile since we been to a auction with you I like the videos keep them coming 😅🤣😂

Crazy cars in Aus too. My dad wrote off his 17 camry that he bought 3 or so years ago for 17k with 70 something thousand ks on the clock. When he was paid out the car had over 300 000 ks and all beat up. They paid him out 27k. Crazy! Problem is you now have to buy into this crazy market, and it's just not worth it. He's taken mum's car and she is driving one of mine.

Thank you for sharing

8000$ for a blown motor !!!I don't think so 🧐

As always an awesome cool video. I always look forward to your videos. ( I enjoy the auctions also.) I have one question. Why are people bidding so high on these cars with the high mileage and working problems? I hope you will do other videos. Thanks for sharing your videos, Stay well & safe.

It's a requirement to swap out the stock oil pump for a hellcat oil pump on the 5.7 as you'll gain an extra 20ish psi. Your cams and lifters will greatly thank you for it. In most cases, a newer used engine would cost just as much vs a cam and lifter job. A lot of people don't understand the pursuit market value right now. They want the price to be on the crown vic level. 🤣🤣🤣

Prices still seem high

It looks like there were no deals to be had at this auction.

hemis need at least 89 octane,

9:30 I bet you'd be lucky to get 14mpg combined - no way it gets 20mpg on highway!

Loves these vids :)

Did you believe what the guy told you about the way the Caprice was running? Might he have been trying to turn you off to the car so he could get it cheaper?

Good greif.. Those prices are INSANE... I bought my 14 Explorer PPV from a used car dealer last year.. The trans was rebuilt prior to me buying it, yet it still seemed off.. I had a 30 day warranty on it and a 2 year warranty on the transmission through the company that rebuilt it.. So back to them it went.. Turned out to be the torque converter, my guess is they didn't replace it during the rebuild.. It's been going strong ever since.. I took a loan out from my bank and it was 14.000.. The original price the dealer wanted was 15.000

thanks

Buen vídeo saludos desde Panamá.

in 1990's chryslers had tran. issues.

Hi Chris great video! Could you please provide more information about the pickup process, insurance, temporary plates and tags, and registration? Does the cars come with plates, or do you have to obtain temporary plates and tags yourself?

Love your videos bro! No more crown Vics

Hey Chris those prices are still astronomically high the next auction Is in 2 weeks you know there's a bunch of vehicles I'm looking into there's an 18 Dodge Charger police pursue 64000 miles possibly damage but I don't know I already looked at it it's one of our vehicles it's probably worth maybe tops 9 grand but and but I don't know I'll let you know alright no our auctions usually run pretty cheap but I don't know why for some goofy reason since saying that the rest of the world is gone nuts it's a nuts good show cuz

First like from Morocco sir 🙌 have a nice day ^-^

ANOTHER great vid!!

They ended, when they were discontinued.

How do you find these government auctions? I Google them and all I get are crazy ads and none of them are real auctions

probably will sell for over $20,000.

sold prices are out of this world

uses timing belt not chain.

Transmissions are troublesome.

Can you do a walk around at Capital auto Auction in Philadelphia?

prices are nuts

hard to get parts, holden is no more.

No videos lately. Must of took the summer off

Accoring to BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!!

Remember used cars Everyones in their driveaway.. appreciated 15percent in last 18months. CPI data. ( monthly inflation)

How can one get to the gov’t surplus auction?

What do these ppl smoke before bidding on these beat on cars with all the issues?? Over priced market or not. What am I missing there??

What do you think about chevy tahoe hybrid is it worth it?

What is the name of the auction and the state?

Pretty smoking deal on that Camry Hybrid. Right now Toyotas in Canada are insanely overpriced. Used 2017-2018 Rav 4s are pushing $30k CAD.

No after market parts.

Tritons are troublesome.

They fixed the Powershift issues?

Cmon buddy where are the new lot walk arounds?

What’s the site?

You got an email? I wanted to email you about your ppv Tahoe since you got it and get an update about the dod delete and the mods you did to it.

Problem with police cars are a lot of idle time that puts a lot of wear on the engine and oil changes not done frequently enough. Thankfully you didn't touch the Focus, they are totally worthless and dangerous with their garbage DCT's. I suspect that as a 'public' auction, most of these vehicles were bought by individuals to fix up for their use, not for resale.

pandemic was 2 years ago sir.

SO all we get, are cop cars .. What about the seized!!! Oh yeah., gov friends get those.. lol

triton motors have issues.

Accident prone driver?

the console is because its a cop car

Wayyy overpriced for the honda

You're so critical .

I hate timing belt vehichles.
