Vehicle Auctions (First time bidders see note at bottom)

 

This is a 2006 Ford Focus seized by the Sheriff as a result of a forfeiture.  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 4 cylinder with 77,503 miles on the odometer.  The engine seems to run well.  Sounds good.  The tires are in ok/good condition.

 

Flaws.   The vehicle needs to be jump started.  Since it’s been sitting awhile, the battery may need to be replaced.    Overall the vehicle seems to be in excellent condition.  Should be visible in a photo.

 

Keep in mind we have no history of the vehicle other than it was being driven when it was seized.  Since then it has sat in storage.  Good luck.

 

FORFEITED VEHICLES/SHERIFF’S SALES 

The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office 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 $100.00.  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 Office 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 $11.00 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.  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 Office 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. We do not ship vehicles and all transactions must be in person.

4. Purchaser is responsible for transportation to and from the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River, MN.

5. Unless otherwise specified, vehicle will be available for public inspection/pick-up at 13880 Business Center Drive, Elk River, MN 55330 weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Standard Time.

6. Full Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the end of auction.

7. None of our vehicles come with license plates. Purchaser should check with local license bureau for licensing requirements.

8. 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.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
