You Could Own Retired Kalamazoo Police Cruisers

Police cruisers are some of the most recognizable cars around. They're traditionally all the same make and model (which makes it handy when you're going a little too fast on the highway and need to slow down). Police cruisers usually are driven until they can't anymore, and when the time comes for them to be sold, they're sent to auction.

In this case, multiple Chevrolet Tahoes and Ford Explorers as well as other municipal vehicles will be up for auction on Tuesday, July 30th from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bids start at $500 for each vehicle. The vehicles can be inspected anytime at Biddergy.com's Kalamazoo auction location during their normal business hours.

Know Before You Buy

Buying a used police cruiser can be a risky purchase. While the miles on the vehicle can be low for the price you pay, these cars are usually more worn down than they appear on paper. Something I learned when working at a restaurant in high school was that police cruisers are always running, even when they're just sitting.

This is because officers must be able to move at a moment's notice. As a result, the strain on the engine and other areas of the car will be more run down than it appears. It is important to get the car inspected before purchasing.

However, this could be a financially feasible option if you're on a budget or need a short-term vehicle. If interested, you can view the entire inventory in detail here.
