Looking to snag a deal on a car, truck, motorcycle or van?
The Suffolk County Police Impound Section will have 120 vehicles available for sale when it holds an auction Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. at the impound facility at 100 Old Country Rd. in Westhampton.
Police said all the vehicles start with a minimum bid of $300 — and are being sold in "as-is" condition.
Available is a wide range of impounded vehicles, ranging from a 1993 Mazda Miata to vehicles like a 2007 Mini Cooper, a 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550, a 2018 Subaru WRX and a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500.
A preview of the vehicle inventory will be held Thursday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Vehicles also will be available for preview one hour before the start of the auction.
Some of the vehicles will be sold on a salvage certificate, police said. This means, according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles website, the vehicle has "significant damage (because of a collision, theft, vandalism, or from water)" and "the applicant must complete the salvage vehicle examination process in order to get a title."
Nissan Pathfinders, Jeeps, Ford pickups and vans, Infinitis, Hondas, Toyotas, BMWs and more will all be available for those with a winning bid.
