I recently came across this listing on PublicSurplus.com for an interesting piece of equipment:
Auction #2764336 – 2012 Ford E-450 / Medix Ambulance
The current price stands at $5,000.00, but the reserve hasn't been met yet. There are still 10 days and 3 hours left on this auction. The highest bidder so far is "lostnode," who has placed a bid. This auction has received a total of 5 bids, with the initial offer starting at just $100.00. The auction began on March 12th, 2021, at 8:29 AM MST and is scheduled to end on March 26th, 2021, at 2:00 PM MDT. However, note that the auction may extend if there's any last-minute activity.

The vehicle’s VIN is 1FDXE4FS0CDB33995, and it currently has 30,969 miles on the odometer. The engine condition is described as good, and the tires are also in decent shape. The engine was actually replaced back in 2017, which is a nice detail.
One of the standout features of this ambulance is its Medix Specialty-built body mounted on a Ford chassis. It comes equipped with six external compartments, one of which is specifically designed for onboard oxygen storage. Inside, you'll find a CPR seat and a captain's rear-facing seat. The ambulance will also include a Stryker cot and a stair chair, making it fully functional right out of the box. Additionally, the vehicle runs on regular gasoline rather than diesel, which could be a significant cost-saving factor.
The ambulance is powered by a robust E-450 heavy-duty engine, and it features an air horn, which is always a nice touch for emergency response situations. When it comes to the overall condition, the seller rates it as fair, indicating that while it may have some wear and tear, it’s still serviceable.
For those curious about the vehicle’s history, there’s an option to order a CARFAX report, though the image placeholder seems to be missing at the moment.
The photos attached to the listing give a solid visual overview of the ambulance. They showcase both the exterior and interior, highlighting its current state and functionality. If you're interested in viewing more images or even taking a closer look in person, you’ll need to visit the pickup location in Stone Park.
In summary, this 2012 Ford E-450 Medix Type 3 ambulance presents a unique opportunity for someone looking to acquire a well-equipped emergency vehicle at what seems to be a competitive price. With only a few days left in the auction, it could be worth keeping an eye on if you're seriously considering bidding.
