Know anything about those "Seized Vehicles" auctions?

A friend of mine lives just outside of Baltimore and he used to go to Hagerstown in Maryland to buy auction municipal vehicles. He went during a snowstorm and scored a MINT Sherriff's Caprice 9C1 police package Impala for $3,500 with 60K on it. He's also gone and seen 9C1's go for almost as much as similar year Impala SS's would normally sell for. It's all luck I guess... auctions are auctions.


BTW: He now has 3 9C1's and he loves them. He got rear-ended in one that was totalled and got paid close to $5,000 MORE than it cost him to buy it.
