That accurately describes every car I've owned.

So at one of these surplus auctions, it doesn't look like a typical auction, where someone bids, and then I bid higher and so forth. What would be a good price to bid on a p71 with say 70-100k miles? On ebay they seem to run in the 6000 dollar range, and the NADA seems to be about 7000, so I figure these guys on Ebay must want to make a profit so they must buy them for less than 6k but I know very little about these things.

do a search on craigslist. there were 2 pretty clean p71's on there in recent weeks/months for 4-5k.

I am trying to contact the dude with the p-71 in Durham that has been wrecked. My fear is frame shifting, if he replies, I'll go take a peek at it.

Anyone know if the SHP will let you test drive their surplus? And will they let me take it to the SECU for appraisel?

nope. they will let you start the car, but you cant drive them

no, surplus on 54 is different from SHP on blue ridge, you can take it to the secu with Sgt. in the passenger seat. Call the number on that form in the box on the fence, they were very helpful when i bought mine, washed it before I picked it up.

Any idea what that sergeants name was? The lady up there told me and I've forgotten...

Joan is who does the paperwork, but there is one guy that is the officer in charge. hes on that flyer. i bought a 99 with 85k for $4490, no tax tag doc bullshit, then 130 for the plate, title HUT. i have put 3k on it in 5 weeks, it gets 19 mpg driving the hell out of it.
