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 3.8 liter V6 with 95567 miles on the digital odometer. It seems in good condition and it's possible the odometer is accurate? It seems like that is awfully low mileage for a 1995. However, you can see from the photos that it looks to be in good condition. The tires are ok with average tread. The trunk opens heavy and it won't stay up without assistance. The gas lid is askew. Not sure why? The vehicle needs to be jump started. The battery is no good after sitting for months and will need to be replaced. Again, it will jump start but the battery doesn't hold a charge for long. FORFEITED VEHICLES/SHERIFF’S SALES The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Department 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 $1. 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 department 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 $8 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. A license bureau office in the city of St. Louis Park (Mpls suburb, 45 minutes away) is open on Saturday. 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 Department 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. Purchaser is responsible for transportation to and from the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River, MN. 4. Unless otherwise specified, vehicle will be available for public inspection/pick-up at 13880 Highway 10, Elk River, MN 55330 weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Standard Time. 5. Full Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the end of auction. 6. None of our vehicles come with license plates. Purchaser should check with local license bureau for licensing requirements. 7. 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.
