FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA — The Broward Sheriff's Office, one of the largest sheriff's departments in the country, sells its retired vehicles through Bidera Government Auctions, and this fall's sale is down to its final day. Bidding opened October 23, and the lots start closing at 7 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, November 3. The sale holds 33 lots, from marked and unmarked police SUVs to a 2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn, a 2017 Ford F-350 diesel dually and a 33-foot Brunswick boat on its trailer, and the bidding has been busy, with several lots past 130 bids by Monday afternoon, when the prices in this article were taken.

The inspector's notes are what make this sale stand out. Bidera's inspectors start the units, check the transmission and the air conditioning, record the miles and write up the body and interior, so a buyer sitting at home can read exactly what each car looks like before bidding. Every police unit here comes with a clean title, all of the emergency equipment has been removed, and the notes for nearly every one end with the same words: the engine sounds good and the transmission engages.

The Explorers: five Police Interceptors from $1,825

Five Ford Explorer Police Interceptors with the 3.7-liter V6 are in the sale, and the lowest-mileage one is also among the best buys. Lot 117 is a 2014 all-wheel-drive unmarked unit with 88,906 miles at $2,200; it starts right up, blows cold air and has good tires, and the inspector notes it may need motor mounts. Lot 105, a black 2017 with 118,115 miles, is at $2,625 and started with a simple jump, with the inspector calling its condition good and the cargo area nice.

Lot 104, a 2016 unmarked unit with 137,369 miles, is the least expensive Explorer at $1,825; the inspector test drove it, the battery is good, and its damage is limited to the front bumper and grille. Lot 121, a 2016 with 108,467 miles, is at $2,125 and ran for more than an hour at inspection, and lot 110, a 2017 with 145,330 miles, leads the group at $3,175 after 69 bids.
