PENDLETON, INDIANA — More than eighty former Indiana State Police vehicles are headed to the auction block on Wednesday, November 11, in Pendleton, the fourth dedicated state police sale since July 2025 and the next chapter in the agency's replacement of its white Charger fleet with blue-and-white Durango Pursuits. The ISP Fall Surplus Vehicle Auction lists 81 vehicles: 65 Dodge Chargers, three Durangos, four Chevrolet Tahoes, five Ram pickups, two Ford F-550 utility trucks, a Taurus and a Cruze. Every vehicle sells absolute, meaning the highest bidder takes it home regardless of price. At the last of these sales, on May 13, sixty-seven state police Chargers sold for a middle price of $1,700; the cheapest went for $700 and the most expensive, a 2020 with 114,006 miles, for $4,700.

Online bidding opened at $100 a lot, and live bidding begins at 2 p.m. Eastern on November 11 at Don Smock Auction Company's yard at 6531 South State Road 13. As of the afternoon of October 28, eighteen of the 81 lots had drawn a bid. A 2005 Ford F-550 utility truck with 61,105 miles led the sale at $1,300 after seven bids. The highest Charger was a 2019 with 129,388 miles at $550, and a 2020 with 97,393 miles had drawn fifteen bids on its way to $425. Everything else sat at the opening number, which is where most lots in a live-and-online absolute auction stay until the auctioneer starts talking.

Chargers dominate the catalog

Dodge Chargers make up the overwhelming majority of the inventory: 65 former pursuit sedans spanning model years 2014 through 2022, by year one 2014, two 2016s, six 2017s, ten 2018s, sixteen 2019s, twenty-six 2020s and four 2022s. Sixty-two carry the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that has been the backbone of the agency's patrol fleet, and three of the 2022s are 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 cars, the ones with 95,287, 150,017 and 162,079 miles.

Mileage varies considerably. Among the fifty-nine Chargers with a posted odometer reading, the lowest is 55,917 miles and the highest 187,280, and the middle car sits at 150,035. Seven 2020s fall below the 120,000-mile mark, showing 55,917, 78,015, 97,393, 106,248, 112,550, 113,920 and 118,798 miles, and the 2019s start at 96,192. Six Chargers list the odometer as unverified with no number posted. Those units warrant a closer look during the preview days, when buyers can evaluate condition and verify details in person before bidding.

Low mileage comes with trade-offs

Some of the auction's lowest-mileage vehicles are also among its most heavily damaged, and the catalog photographs show it. The 2020 Charger with 55,917 miles, lot 169, has the front clip, bumper and headlamps gone and the driver's door off. The three Durangos, which on paper would be the most desirable vehicles in any police auction, are collision cars: the 2023 with 12,031 miles, lot 162, has the front end torn open and the roof pushed in; the 2023 with 14,253 miles, lot 161, and the 2024 with 30,190 miles, lot 160, show front-end damage down to the frame rails. The 2022 Charger with 95,287 miles has its trunk lid standing open above a crushed rear quarter. The listings do not describe damage, so inspection is where that gets settled.

The earlier sales put a number on that kind of lot. A 2023 Durango with 26,003 miles brought $3,800 last November, a 2023 with 21,389 miles brought $2,600 the same day, and a 2024 with 19,778 miles brought $1,900 in May. For some bidders these vehicles are rebuild projects; for others they are a 5.7-liter Durango Pursuit driveline with 12,000 miles on it, which is a different purchase from a car with 150,000. Either way, the inspection period will be the most important part of the process for anyone considering them.

Trucks, SUVs and work vehicles add variety

The Chargers will draw most of the attention, but the trucks and SUVs are the part of this sale the earlier ones did not have in the same numbers. Four Chevrolet Tahoes, from the generation that carried state police operations before the Durangos: a 2014 with unverified miles and three 2013s at 141,976, 219,554 and 252,298, flex-fuel 5.3-liter trucks. Five Ram pickups: a 2021 Ram 2500 with 168,001 miles, 2018 Ram 1500s with 215,423 and 233,895, a 2016 with 198,129 and a 2015 with 187,749, high fleet mileage but work trucks rather than patrol cars.

Two 2005 Ford F-550 utility trucks with enclosed service bodies stand apart from the rest of the catalog, one at 111,059 miles and the one at 61,105 that has drawn the strongest early bidding, which suggests buyer interest extends past the police-car crowd to contractors, utility operators and municipal fleets. A 2016 Ford Taurus with 163,541 miles and a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze with 134,782 round out the list.

How to register and bid

The sale runs live and online at the same time through the auction company's own bidding site, so a buyer in Texas competes against the one standing in the ring. To bid online you create an account, which asks for a username and password, your name, phone, email and billing address, a credit card, and your acceptance of the terms. The site places a hold on the card to approve you to bid; if you buy nothing, the hold is released three to five business days after the auction. Once approved you can bid on any lot now or participate live when the auction begins. To bid in person, you register at the Pendleton yard on auction day with identification and the same payment arrangements.

Inspection days are Monday and Tuesday, November 9 and 10, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pendleton facility. The vehicles are sold as-is and where-is, so those two days are the only opportunity to start them, scan them and look under them. Payment is due on auction day. The sale page states that online bidders' cards are charged for invoices up to $2,500 at the close of the sale, invoices unpaid the next business day are charged to the card up to $6,000, every card charge carries a four percent fee, and invoices over $6,000 are paid by cashier's check, wire transfer or cash unless the company has authorized something else in advance. Payments charged to a card are not refunded.

The hammer price is not the whole price. The bidding site's general terms list an auction premium of ten percent on the first $5,000 of each item and three percent on the balance, an additional three percent for internet bidders, a $100 document processing fee on every titled vehicle, and Indiana sales tax unless the buyer presents a tax-exempt certificate. On a $1,700 Charger bought online, that is $170 in premium, $51 for bidding online, $100 for the title paperwork and $119 in tax, so a $1,700 bid is about $2,140 by cashier's check, and roughly $2,225 if the whole invoice goes on a card. Titles are mailed by certified mail within 21 business days. Purchases must be picked up within 14 days of the posted removal times. The Terms and Removal Times tabs on the sale page are the final word for this particular sale.

What the last three ISP auctions brought

The three most recent dedicated ISP sales, all at the same yard, give the best read on buyer demand, and the auction company's closed-lot pages for each are public. Thirty Chargers sold on July 9, 2025 for $115,400, a middle price of $3,850, in a 48-lot sale that brought $183,950. Forty-six sold on November 12, 2025, the day the new Durangos were unveiled, for $137,400, a middle price of $2,500, in a 58-lot sale that brought $172,800. Sixty-seven sold on May 13, 2026 for $130,300, a middle price of $1,700, with three 2022s at $1,100 each, two cars with no posted mileage at $700, and the top car, a 2020 with 114,006 miles, at $4,700; the whole 87-lot sale brought $154,100.

Across the three, 143 former State Police Chargers have sold for $383,100, and the middle price has fallen from $3,850 to $1,700 as the batches have grown and the mileage has climbed. The May cars had posted odometers between 78,192 and 267,655 miles; the November cars run from 55,917 to 187,280, a lower-mileage group and a slightly smaller one. For buyers, the question is not whether the vehicles sell but which parts of the catalog draw the competition. The seven 2020s under 120,000 miles and the F-550s look positioned for it, while the higher-mileage Hemis in the back half of the catalog are where the May sale found its $700 and $1,100 cars. The Price Report carries the model-year breakdown from the sold archive, and every government Charger listed right now is on UX Search with the middle closed price beside the bid.
