Car buyers looking for a deal can bid on vehicles impounded by Suffolk County police during an auction Saturday in Westhampton, where bidding will start at $500.
The police department will auction off 85 vehicles including a 2006 Porsche Cayenne, a 2021 Acura TLX, BMWs, Hondas, Toyotas, a Jeep and various Ford, Chevy and Dodge cars, pickups and SUVs.
The vehicles are being auctioned off after being impounded by police and seized as asset forfeitures.
Bidding will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Suffolk police impound lot at 100 Old Country Rd. in Westhampton. The auction will go on, rain or shine.
Potential buyers can survey vehicles during a preview period at the impound yard Thursday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Vehicles will also be open to preview at 8 a.m. Saturday before the auction.
All vehicles will be sold in as-is condition and no photos are permitted, because the vehicles are considered evidence, police said.
Full payment must be made on-site to collect vehicles for bids up to $2,000. Bids over $2,000 require a nonrefundable deposit of $2,000 plus 25% of the remaining balance owed, police said.
No titles will be given, but buyers will be given a bill of sale. The new owners must tow vehicles from the premises within two hours of the auction ending or face impound fees. Any vehicles purchased but abandoned after 40 days will incur a $1,000 abandonment fee for the bidders and the vehicles will be impounded by police.
Here is a full list of vehicles that will be on the auction block. The list is also available at suffolkpd.org by going to "Impound Section & Vehicle Auctions."
