Madison Publicly Auctions Off 2 Former Police Vehicles

MADISON, CT — The Madison Police Department is auctioning off two, 11-year-old vehicles on the public, municipal auction site, Municibid.com.

Both vehicles are no longer being used by the department, and are being sold in "as is" condition. Proceeds from the auctions will go back to the department to fund other safety initiatives.

One of the vehicles, a 2013 front-wheel drive Chevrolet Caprice, was formerly used for the department's K9 program, and it has more than 105,000 miles on it. The vehicle has one bid so far, for $3,000.

"Interior is worn and vehicle has 'dog' odor from being a K9 vehicle," the auction description reads. "All Madison Police Department Identification/equipment will be removed from vehicle. NOTE: Vehicle's transmission is stuck in Drive. Believe vehicle just has a broken Shift Linkage Cable."

The other vehicle, a 2013 all-wheel drive Ford Taurus, has more than 111,000 miles on it, but it currently won't start. There are no bids yet on this vehicle, but the starting bid is $2,000.

Both auctions end on Feb. 21; click here for more information.
