Exclamation

HI guys.. every month the City of Calgary auctions off its unclaimed vehicles.. being trucks.. Motorcycles... cars trailers and even some really cool stuff too (very occasionally) like Jet-ski's, and motorhomes.


Its this Sat (17th) in calgary.. really close to Grizzz's Battery shop.


Last month most of the cars went for a few hundred bucks. This 1997 Intrepid in great shape went for $325.00

its completely buyers beware.. the cars dont have keys so you dont know if they run or not.. but if you need a winter beater.. or an SPL vehicle.. this is the place to go.

Hope this helps

It's also mighty handy to friends with someone who owns a flatdeck.
