The County of Hawai‘i Department of Environmental Management’s Abandoned Vehicle Section will be holding its eighth abandoned vehicle auction in September in Kailua-Kona.
All prospective bidders are encouraged to view the vehicles prior to bidding. In no case will failure to view constitute grounds for the withdrawal of a bid. All prospective bidders must sign in at the designated sign-in table. The vehicles available for auction will be clearly labeled with an item number. No person may enter or open any vehicle in the impound lot. The impound lot is paved, but appropriate footwear is recommended. Children under the age of 12 will not be allowed on the impound lot.
