Variety Of Cars, Trucks And SUVs
Office of General Services (OGS) Commissioner RoAnn Destito announced that more than 450 state vehicles have been staged at the Harriman campus for sale on eBay as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s fleet reduction initiative.
The sale, which includes vehicles from 15 state agencies, is the first in a series of sales that will reduce the size of the state’s passenger-vehicle fleet, which now stands at more than 4,700.
The OGS will partner with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to provide onsite registration and license plates for the vehicles at pickup. As of Tuesday, Apr. 3, www.nysstore.com linked potential buyers to the vehicles.
“Reducing the size of the state vehicle fleet is part of Governor Cuomo’s goal to create efficiencies and maximize our resources,” Destito said. “By utilizing eBay, we are able to cast a global net for potential buyers and increase the number of people who may bid on our vehicles and other items.”
The vehicles were placed on eBay on Apr. 3 with a minimum bid of $500 and the auctions will conclude on Friday, Apr. 13. The successful bidder will be required to make a non-refundable deposit of $500 for each vehicle purchased via PayPal. Payment in full can be made online via PayPal or when picking up the vehicle with a credit card, cashier’s check or money order. Checks and money orders should be made out to NYS OGS.
