San Rafael, CA – A wide range of vehicles will be available for public purchase starting Saturday, July 21, when the Marin County Department of Public Works starts an online auction. The selection includes pickup trucks, heavy equipment, SUVs and cars.
This Ford Ranger is one of the vehicles up for auction.
As Marin County is committed to environmental awareness and fiscally responsible spending, the County fleet continues to be reduced. Vehicles with high fuel consumption or excessive particulate emissions are being sold and, if possible, replaced by more environmentally friendly options. The County fleet includes 80 hybrids and eight electric vehicles, with four additional electric vehicles expected this summer. Renewable diesel fuel and solar-powered charging stations are also used to reduce the fleet’s carbon footprint.
The auction begins at midnight Saturday, July 21, and closes at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 28. Details about the auction items are not available or visible on the website until the auction begins. Vehicles with their corresponding service records are available for viewing Tuesday, July 24, through Thursday, July 26, from noon to 3 p.m. at the County Public Works Garage, 6 Peter Behr Drive, San Rafael.
All items are sold “as is” and all sales are final; it is the buyer’s responsibility to check the vehicle’s condition prior to purchase. Payment must be received by Public Surplus within five business days of the auction’s close, and vehicles must be picked up weekdays between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. within five business days of receipt of payment.
