I bought a Ford Escape on GovDeals, was it worth it? 

Thanks! We have put almost 9000 miles on it so far with no issues yet. Best buy ever. Thanks for watching!

On a Crown Vic, yes. I think this one was all road, not much sitting. At least I hope so 😆

That's awesome! You are correct. They want way too much for new and used cars. Even if it only lasts a year, you still win. I'm sure it will go much longer. And it's a local vehicle as well. Congratulations

Awesome! I'm glad it was a help. Good luck

It's worth a shot

I agree, so far so good. I drove it to Mississippi yesterday, and it's doing great!

😆 the prices are going up 😆

I think this one will work out. I drove it to Mississippi yesterday. Everything seems good. Still... fingers crossed 😆

@@flatbrokegarage that's so awesome, brother. That's an awesome ride.

I mean love the ford. 😊

Thanks so much for watching! One of the vehicles I bought was a Michigan state police unmarked ford explorer. I did make people nervous. The problem was I always got stuck going the speed limit on 2 lane roads 😆

Yep, could I go out and spend $65k on something? Sure.... I just don't see the need. This little escape now has over 3000 miles on it since I bought it. Absolutely perfect car. No need to go in debt. Try govdeals out. I guarantee you'll find a nice car/truck there. Just stay away from "seizure" vehicles mostly junk there. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, hope it was helpful

Thanks buddy! So far so good. 2000 miles, not a single hiccup. Enjoy your weekend as well

It works perfectly lucky

We should be around. Email me for my information flatbrokegaragetn@gmail.com

The awd is a plus for sure. I looked at the awd Taurus but we needed more of an suv type thing.

@FlatBroke Garage I just want the Taurus so it looks like cop or someone's PO.

Over 8 years for me. Great stuff

Anything but white! 😆 everything I own is white.

Yep, it's great. I just won a 98 chevy 3500 turbo diesel van with 40k miles for $860. They said the engine was stuck. I believe it's just the starter. Hope I'm lucky again. Good luck with your road trip!

no salt on our roads so we dont have to worry about any rust issues. and most maintanance yards take care of their vehicles. Only city that I avoid for their lack of maintaining all their fleet (city of san jose) and i search all of California for motor vehicles. $350 for a crown vic is my new low price record.

@@TurdLocked it's kind of addictive isn't it? I'm always looking

How do they ever pay for them. They have 10 year loans now

@@flatbrokegarage Ya and in 10 yrs it's worth nothing

I believe Govdeals is Ritchie brothers auctions company. So far so good for me with them. I have had a few issues in they past, but there customer service team made it better.

Thanks! You receive a bill of sale, and a title. That is good to drive it home from the place of purchase. I took the vin number from the auction listing after I won and simply called my insurance company and informed them I'd be picking it up. Everything goes very smoothly. It truly worth it.

@@flatbrokegarage Thank you for the reply. I just won my first bid on a car today, but the seller contacted me to inform me that he isn't willing to sell the car at that price (it wasn't a reserve listing). He offered to sell it directly to me outside of GovDeals, at a new price that includes a Buyer's Premium of 25% instead of 12.5%. This situation sounds sketchy and defeats the entire purpose of an auction sale. It seems like sellers are just using this platform to protect themselves completely, making it a win-win for them.

@maimonna I've been buying from them for 10 years. I've never heard of that. I would avoid it at all cost. Contact Govdeals as well. Just be patient. They have tons of vehicles

It is. I go so lucky

No, I've never received one. In most cases, you can drive with a bill of sale and title. I brought plates off another car of mine just so I didn't get hassled. I did have full insurance on the car before I left home.

@@flatbrokegarage Thanks for the info.

😆 Thanks! Yeah, we love them. The last one we had a deer hit it and I've always been on the lookout for another one. Hope this one fits the bill

For sure. I've bought 7 vehicles from them. All were as exactly as described or better. One I didn't read the entire ad and burned myself. Other than that they are my daily drivers. Just stay away from drug seizure vehicles. Thanks for watching

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

I only needed the escape. Maybe the video will help a few people out there find a deal from all this over priced stuff on the market. There are plenty of vehicles out there to go around.
