County Police to Auction Off Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles

Tue, 06/21/2022 - 15:34

More than 120 impounded vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even a bucket truck, will be auctioned off on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. by the Suffolk County Police Department at its impound yard in Westhampton.

Police auctions, which are open to the public, generally occur when property has been impounded but unclaimed for a certain amount of time. The length of time that must pass before an item goes to auction follows a set of guidelines based on its approximate value.

There will be a preview of the vehicles on the auction block on Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the impound yard, 100 Old Country Road in Westhampton 11977. Potential buyers can also preview the vehicles from 8 to 9 on Saturday.

Bids start at $300. Vehicles are sold as-is, and all sales are final. A full list of rules and guidelines can be found here.
