State Vehicle Auction
KENTUCKY...
In an effort to generate revenue, reduce expenditures and decrease the state’s fleet, the Finance and Administration Cabinet’s Division of Fleet Management and the Division of Surplus Property held a public auction this week to sell used state vehicles. At this week’s auction, 156 cars, trucks, vans and SUVs were sold, generating more than $350,000. Of those, 29 were sold in advance to city and county governments. A 2005 Chevy Tahoe was the highest selling item, bringing in $8,800.
The number of people who registered as potential bidders was 492, an increase of 54 from the last Division of Fleet Management Auction that was held Sept. 22, 2009. At the 2009 auction, 180 vehicles sold for $336,475.
