GOVERNMENT AUCTION - Inspection Day and Sale $$$ ** ALL ACCESS **
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2019
- I’m at the latest State surplus auction here in Delaware to inspect the cars. Join the tour of the auction yard as I inspect the different Caprice PPV's, Tahoe PPV's and Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor's and come up with what I think is the right price considering the condition, mileage and possible repairs needed to the cars. Every car at the auction was sold, some for a good price while others were wildly overpriced.

Thank you for the videos! You give too much good information. Always loved those cars.🚓
That Vic was worth every penny of 4 k,there's nothing else out there for the money,safety and reliable performance,i thought it was worth up to 4k before you disclosed the final 4200 bid, like your videos.
Not fuel efficient, though
@@toyoscio Depends on your definition of efficient,to a Chevy Cobalt no it isn't.
@@baird5776mullet Efficient where you're not at the gas station a lot
It was nice, but $4,200 can get you a civilian model and leave you money leftover; that's a lot of money for an old cop car. The only thing that makes it slightly worthwhile are low miles, fine condition, and very low idle hours; however, if one were looking for a nicer car, one (or, at least, most people) would willingly take a civilian with many more miles on it.
Man that was fun. Fastest 18 min in a long time. Thanks for showing what you look for and the tour.
Thanks so much man for checking out my auction vid. Glad you enjoyed it! -Chris
61,000 miles 187 idle hours, car wasn't used much
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good exclusive product for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my BF after many years got great results with it.
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one of a kind product for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker got amazing results with it.
Good info on what these cars are going for. Thanks for sharing.
No matter what, those Caprices will always go for big bucks. Unbelievable seeing these go for that much with all the issues. 🤦🏻♂️
damn if i'll pay that for a car with 6000 running hours wow you can get a nice car that money.
@Mike Carey They don't. Civilian Caprices are only sold in the Middle East, and in Australia they are sold as Holden Statesmans (both the civilian Caprice and the US PPV models are built by Holden in Australia). In the USA the only legal way to own a Caprice is to buy a used PPV from police auction (like in the video)
@@thelaughingman79 Oh well
@@NazbolCaliphDonaldaddeenTrump Holden Australia has closed, they don't make anything anymore.

Hey Chuck, thanks so much man. I appreciate hearing what folks like and dislike. I enjoy doing these auction vid's too, especially when I can find a good car at a great price. Thanks again! -Chris
How's it going ?
@@midgetmayo
Yo.
Love all your videos. And what I like is you keep things on the level you don't get Bazaar or anything like that you're kind of like the Bob Ross of car channels
Hey man, thanks so much for the kind words. I really do appreciate you sharing that too. It's great to hear from viewers as to what they like and don't like, whether thats about my vid's or about me and how I present. Thanks again! -Chris
Another great video.
These are really good videos Chris. Thanks for taking your time to go view the cars and put the video together. ~Pat
Hey Pat, I appreciate you taking the time to follow along. So how's the Ford truck doing? Getting some driving time behind the wheel?
@@hullinger Yea I haven't set aside time to work on it. Catching up on other things and putting some miles on it. With as many CV conversions you see on UA-cam there are very few that you see on the road. Due to that I get a lot of interest in it and a lot of questions. I've only seen one other in my area.
It's a parts Tahoe, great videos, keep going from Victoria Canada ❤️✌️🙂
Buy the head lights from Australia. They’ll cost you about 40 bucks a side then about 12 bucks shippping.
Great review!!
Mostly rough pieces at ridiculous prices.I have a guy here on Long Island who is selling CVPI's in the $5000-6000 range these days for 120000 mile cars so as nice clean low mileage units dry up the market seems to be heading up on them too.Thanks for taking the time to put these videos out there.Always find them interesting!
Just checked our 16 Caprice at work. Has over 7k of idle hours on it. I guess we have a lot then!
Some of these Crown Victorias nowadays are selling for their actual normal (almost entire private sale) value since there's not nearly as many left anymore. Can't really get them cheap cheap and in good shape anymore. I'm lucky I bought my 2007 P71 here in Canada, NS for $2700 with 183 hr and 76K mi / 121K kms. Guy winter stored it last 4 winters and all I did was oil cooler lines, brakes and fluid changes (just need to fix ebrake cable big whoop). I'm storing it this winter too.
Purchased an 06 CVPI a few months ago on govdeals. After doing some overdue maintenance I’ve been driving it daily without issue. I only have around $800 in it.
Great video always enjoy these inspections 👍
So glad you're liking these auction vid's. I like doing them too and hunting for the next car. Whatcha think of that blue '07 Vic?
@@hullinger nice looking car👍
another great and informative video by my main man!
Hey Jeff, thanks man and thanks for sharing those pics of your Vic's too!
Thank you.
I can't wait to get my Crown Vic! Even though there's already one in good condition parked in my garage buy hey 🤷♂️
You can turn off the DOD with a device called "Range Technologies" DOD AFM disabler. You dont have to spend all that money to disable it. You just need to leave device plugged in
Very well done your video editing skills are excellent I wish I could to that
They look clean
Great video
It's interesting and I'm happy to see that the Chevys are selling for more than the Fords.
To be fair the Crown Vic is an old and common design, the Caprice on the other hand is a car only attainable from police auctions.
Awesome great video thanks for sharing. I would like to have a Crown Vic like the lot 750. With low mileage. What does DOC Issues mean? How do find out about these auctions ahead of time? Where did you go to look at the cars? I truly hope you are having a blessed summer, my friend. God Bless You.
Interesting as always. Better luck next time.
Hey, thanks man. I appreciate you.
Evoc means they used in training . A rough life . Probley how the control arm broke .
Wow, great to know about Evoc! I saw that on the bottom of the windshield but didn't know what it meant. Glad you shared that! Thanks.
Love those caprices until i see em in my rear view mirror...
Hahaha, great comment!
Lovely video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one off product for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
😂
OMG, those prices! IMO, you were spot on at your top dollar prices. No way I would have paid double for the Tahoes and 9C1s
How are you paying 4 grand for a dod delete when the parts are only 650? We get them done for $1800 down here in ms
I love the Crown Vic.
A lean code would be the least of my worries.
that grey Caprice is sweet but man o man what a money pit!
What is a DoD issue? What did you check in the engine? What does a dead battery mean? How much does it cost to fix transmission?
Notice how much higher the bid goes since this review😂😂😂
Here he is ladies and gentlemen the winner of the Jeff Bezos look-a-like contest.
Anyone known what a 2002 vic with 47k would or should sell for, its missing back seat and is black with white roof guy was asking 4200 on it.
You could pick up a few of those crown vic's, for about $1500 which they sold for and do a quick detail and sell them for easy $2500 without doing much to them, they are way under priced at $1500 auction value. Why bother with transmission swaps and DOD issues only one getting rich off that is the mechanics. Quick $1,000 on each car or more is your best bet on those. Plenty of people that did not go to the auction would buy those for $2500-$2800 or more even with the issues.
Dang the caprices runs good and quite for a big v8
Hey Chris, cool video, as always. But I would keep my fingers off the DOD engines. The risk is very high as you have experienced yourself.
The Vics were awesome and the one with the 60,000 miles in the US a super used car for the next few years with less trouble and low costs.
By the way: Your / My Vic arrived in Bremerhaven and will be rebuilt in the next weeks by a special company in Bremerhaven on the German rules. I think three to four weeks then the good piece is at my door. (By the way, Bremerhaven is located on the "NORDSEE" (german word) ...... means "North Sea" = Northsea-blue ....the colour fits perfect:-)
Regards.Frank
By the way: no vic anymore on your driveway ? And what ist about the "ugly eagle-Limo :-)" sold ?
Do you ever come across old coroner transport vans? Just curious. I'd love to own one.
Nice cars, Caprice woww what a muscle machine, nice car.
I'm loving those Caprices, especially in that blue color. The problem is that they don't turn up at these auctions often enough to find a really good one at a good price.
East Coast Classics yeah the blue color is nice 👍
Crown vic is my moat favourite vehicle by ford. I love to buy Crown vic from USA and bring it Islamabad Pakistan in my country. Love to have kinda American big vehicles here. Love to drive love do the business with it... Sell and buy all kind of America vehicles.
But thank you for sharing this man.
Love and big thank you all the way from Islamabad Pakistan.

A chevy engine ticking? Say it isn't so. That thing will tick forever and still keep going.
Listening back to your videos will often tell you if there's any ticking in the engine as the microphone will often pick up and amplify any minor ticking you might not otherwise be able to hear. On the Caprice with the declared broken suspension arm, I'll lay odds that the ABS fault showing up is caused by damaged wiring to a wheel speed sensor on the corner with the suspension issue, and the traction control fault will be caused by the ABS issue as the traction control computer compares the wheel speeds at all 4 corners to establish whether the rear wheels are spinning. If it's not getting a reading from one wheel then the traction control will fault out, but it should be an easy and relatively cheap fix. Those Holden Commodore Caprices are certainly a lot of car for the money even in police spec as you still get all the toys you really need, unlike older police package vehicles that could be very basic indeed...
Hey, great comment and I like your thoughts on the wheel speed sensor. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing that.
@@hullinger No problems. It applies on pretty much any vehicle where you're seeing warning lights for ABS and traction control. The expensive issues often only crop up on vehicles where the ABS is working but the traction control system has failed out. That's often a sign of very expensive electronic failures that are definitely something to steer clear of. I know of several models of vehicle where replacement traction control modules are only available from the manufacturer and cost well over £5,000. Naturally, these are modules that usually can't be repaired when they fail...
Now too many people know about our state and those auctions.
I am trying to find one of the state trooper CVPIs that were supercharged. They are rare and I am sure that it wasn't a factory option. When I worked for a taxi back in 2015, they were getting them upstate NY from the state troopers and when they got them back to the shop, they removed the push bars and superchargers.
Dude, finding a supercharged Vic would be awesome! That would be a find of a lifetime!
@@hullinger Try NY auctions. Upstate.
good god that 07 went nuclear!
I really want a crown Vicky, they look so much better than the caprice
What's the site you go for a bidding?
Sept. 14th Charlotte NC Rolling stock auction. Catalog not out yet, but I count 8 9C1's in a promo picture. Proxibid.com 6 months ago 80K to 100K mileage cars going for $5,500 or so. One's currently on Craigslist in MA that you can have for $8,500 he's not shy about where it came from.
Hey man, great find and thanks for sharing that auction. It would be fun to check out so many Caprices at one time. -Chris
The P71s start with little effort compared to the others. Nice cars!
That was my very first observation too while at the auction. Each of the Vic's started easy and ran well. Effortless, actually!
Good! I have'98 P71, its been a great car, driving it for two years now, its got slightly under 90k miles on it. I think it was used by undercover detectives or unmarked car. It's been a rugged and dependable vehicle although starting to show some ageing. It gets some looks by other motorists in my country. We don't have many of them here. I'm thinking of getting another one next year, which of the model years would you consider the most ideal to purchase bearing in mind ease of maintenance?
Can you tell me the name and author of the book beside you?
I would love to have 1987-1996 Caprice 9c1 you never see those at the auctions anymore
Had 1 at Mecum auction in Harrisburg PA a few weeks ago.Not sure what it sold for but Mecum has a UA-cam channel which has the auctions saved if you want to watch
I had a brown 90 Caprice 5.7 county squad car, it was a stop light rocket.
I was 18 min away from owning lot 713 tahoe.....then got outbid. Only took them 5 months to activate my account. Was actually going to ask you about that exact truck.
Hey man, great to hear from you and thanks for checking out today's vid. Cool that you were bidding on that Tahoe. Sucks about getting outbid though. Maybe next time we can hit the auction together.
Great video bro was hoping that you able to leave with a car but yea some of them went for way too much
Thanks man for following along. I was thinking of you when I saw those two Caprices.
@@hullinger man then should have swiped one I would have came & got it the keys was in there lol
Aftermarket on eBay headlights are $267
I can’t come up with an answer for that 187 idle hours at 64000 miles in 10 years; like 19 hours per year; 1.5 hour (90 minutes) per month; 22 minutes idle hours per week ??? Any idea how they came up with such low idle hours; any chance they might have reset it like the Tahoe?
Ron, when I saw that '07 Vic and just how nice it was, then the mileage then the idle hours, I couldn't believe it. And my first thought was like you in that the idle hours were reset. But the thing was so nice, so clean and uniquely optioned, I'm certain it wasn't used as a police car. I was in love with it, that is until the bidding got crazy.
I have a 2010 Sierra Denali ,bought used from dealer, a old man traded it in .It had 75000 miles when I bought it and the engine hrs were like 359?? ...also. I have the L9H 6.2l motor. No afm (dod), love it and it’s fast as all hell for a truck🤓
Is DOD that cylinder deactivation feature? I cant believe GM tried that again. My dad's 1981 El Dorado had a cruder version of that, and GM deemed the feature a failure
Yup, you're right! DOD is Chevy's version of cylinder deactivation. GM claims it's good for a 5% - 7% fuel savings but the repair cost is around $4K when the system goes bad.
Am I glad I bought a 2007 CVPI instead of a Caprice. They appear to have too many problems.
Those CVPIs did look promising. I really wanted to like the PPVs, but gosh they looked rough for their age & the whole DOD thing makes me wonder who was buying them at the prices they went for(?)
Dude, you read my mind with your comment! The Vic's all looked promising and everyone started easily and ran well, even with a Check Engine Light on. The Tahoe's and Caprice's on the other hand....! -Chris
Hey guys, I don't know if I missed it at the beginning of the video, but whats the DOD thing he was mentioning??
@@joshevans5768 DOD = Displacement On Demand. It is an engine management system that deactivates cylinders to improve fuel economy. Over the life of the engine DOD can cause uneven cylinder wear & associated (& expensive) engine repairs.
I’ve always wanted a crown vic but they are doing far too much money here in Scotland uk. 2005 p71 136k for sale at £8750 $10500 and they seem to sell on eBay.keep up the good videos.
Thanks so much for following along and for the comment too, and hello to Scotland from Wilmington, Delaware! It's crazy what a Crown Vic sells for in Europe but I guess it's supply and demand too, plus transportation costs to get there. I've been searching here in the US for a Tatra 603 but they're nearly non existent and probably for the same reasons.
I'm no pro, but $5200 for a 2012 caprice with 138k, plus, lets say another $1500 to fix the issues listed, plus a cleaning/detail and marketing, and I'm low balling that $1500 number. That's $6700. You put it out for what? $8900 as is or with some kind of aftermarket warranty? Unless you got that customer that really has to have one of these to me it seems like a hard sell.
We need to import the Caprice back to Australia. Your looking at over USD14k for a Caprice V and USD17k from a dealer with 70k miles. I'm looking at one for $5k but it has 300k miles on it.
I wanted the gray CVPI.
That grey Vic looks pretty nice. It really didn't sell for a lot of $$$ either. Seemed like a good buy for someone.
@9:27 those headlights!! And it looks clean inside!
that Vic was worth $4,200 if someone was buying to keep. But agree if looking to buy and flip it would be tough to get money back
Paint correction on some of them
Headlight restoration is big money saver...just saying.
I bid on 750 07 CVPI , NADA clean retail was $$3400 due to the low miles that went for $4200 I was in shock 😂
Brotha, I was shocked too by the $4200 that blue '07 Vic brought. It's still a 12 year old car and not really sure it deserves that much $$$. I was a bidder up to the $2K range and walked away. My eyes popped out when I saw the final bid amount! DANG!
@@hullinger I almost think the Vics and Town Cars are future classics when they are bringing those numbers.All Ford had to do was restyle it,drop a 5.0 in them and update the electronics(traction control,radar cruise etc)then sell them for 10 years more instead of a front wheel drive Taurus Interceptor!!!
I'M SUPRISED YOU DON'T TAP WITH THE SIDE OF YOUR FOOT THE PLASTIC COVERED BUMPER, TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS CLANKING.
Damn, 4200? Makes me feel like I stole my 02 vic lx sport hpp 60k miles for 4k....
You got any new ones these are so old
Way too much money for some of those cars. As u say wouldn't take much to get up side down finacially. Your the expert on these especially the Crown Vics. The Caprice looked like it could be a money pit. A lot of potential problems with these caes.
Tell u wht about the Vic’s a lot of states still got the Vic’s in service. I was in Louisville Kentucky the cops there still got them in service they told me the Ford Taurus Dodge charger is fast but the Vic’s are build much better and last longer. Sum department in California are getting the Vic’s refurbished. We see all the new police cars charger Taurus caprice the Vic’s still outlasting them .
Kristina Bradshaw
Here in southern Florida I still see a lot of them.
A few states bought extra CVPI's and stockpiled them for a year or so before turning them out into the fleet
It's hard to believe the Chevy's went so high. They are notorious for having problems. I would have been all over that first Ford!!
Save money...but how much...to make them...run...I'm good...
Car Dealer gonna sell that low mileage 07 P71 for $9995.$3995 dwn.I live lowerslower de. These are selling @ used carlots for $1995dwn.50 a wk.for 2yrs. So $4-5g for ones with 150-300k.Glad I got my 4 when I did.
Dude, you're soo right about dealers buying up these cars. They get their money back on the down payment and every weekly payment after that is just profit. Then when the buyer missing a payment they repo the car and get to do it all over again.
@@hullinger LOL Business
DOD?
god i love those crown victoria's
Delaware city robbed me. They stole parts off my cvpi before i picked it up. Lastly this is the highest priced auction in state

Word. Delaware is alright. I use to live in milton/Milford de didnt kno they had any dsp auctions tho

5,200 dirt cheap I’ll pay 10,000 dollars
Do you sell cars to other people
Sorry, I'm not a dealer, just a dude that enjoys going to auctions and sometimes buying something that's at the right price and condition.
What are D O D issues?
Thanks for checking out my latest auction video. When I mentioned DOD, it's Chevy's version of cylinder deactivation. DOD stands for Displacement on Demand and it's on most GM V8's since 2007. The system has a known problem with the cam lifters going bad and causing a lifter tap. The tap gets worse and worse until the camshaft wears down. On these engines, you have to remove the heads to get to the lifters and the front of the engine needs to come apart to get to the cam. It's around a $4k bill for the work since while you have the engine apart it's wise to replace other parts too. GM claims a 5%-7% fuel mileage increase with DOD however the cost to repair the system when it breaks just doesn't make sense.
@@hullinger thank you so
much kept trying to figure it out.
Love to watch your videos
You said you had $2,700 to spend to find you a car cars went for 1600 and you still didn't buy it, I'm just saying you wanted something to play with you missed out
😂 what happened to you? I haven't seen a video from you in awhile.
hello
It's worth $1500
sorry but what is DOD???
DOD is short for Displacement on Demand. It's Chevy's version of cylinder deactivation. The problem is that the system gets wonky sometimes and destroys cams and/or lifters. It's a very expensive fix.
I guess everyone in Deleware likes paying too much for cars.

Surely not Everyone,
though that Lot # 750 was quite sweet. And clearly had been well looked after. But, yeah - the auction scene has gone mad. :/ Or so it seems to me. Safe Travels. :)
@@danizurieta Yeah I was being a little overdramatic, lol. These auctions are a good place to get a nice crown vic for cheap but I think all those chevy caprises and tahoes were way overpriced!
