Hudson Valley residents looking for a cheap car may have just hit the jackpot.
Dutchess County government wants to get rid of vehicles that are either no longer in use or that still work but are no longer needed… and the prices couldn’t be lower. From ambulances and bulldozers to passenger cars and boats, here are some of the best bargains:

Construction equipment at Dutchess County surplus vehicle auction
Scrolling through the myriad of cars, vans, and SUVs, a few special vehicles stand out from the crowd, like a working forklift with a current bid of $475 and a John Deere loader listed as “working and functioning as intended” with a current bid of $9,400 (see below). There are also a few vehicles that could be described as more like toys.
Water lovers might be interested in a paddle boat that could optimistically be described as “vintage” and is currently bidding at $1, an aluminum row boat that is also listed for $1, or round paddle boats that are currently bidding at $25 (see below).
Both serious shoppers looking for a bargain and curious residents looking to spend a few bucks on a new item will have fun browsing through the 91 items for sale (don’t forget to check out the vaccine freezers and zero-turn mowers, too).
