Are you looking for a deal on a lightly used 2018

Chrysler 300C

? Do you feel like purchasing several at a time? Do you feel like visiting

Canada

? If all of these apply, you might be able to catch a pretty decent bargain. The Canadian government is offloading

Chryslers

and hundreds of other cars it bought for the G7 Summit held in Québec in the summer, and the cars can be had quite cheaply.

Originally, over 600 brand

new cars

were bought to ferry summit guests around Québec, some of them in motorcades, necessitating the choice of very official-looking black on black

300C

models with tinted windows. The RCMP said it turned out to be more affordable to buy the vehicles than to rent or

lease

them, but it still didn’t come cheap for Canada. The bulk purchase price of all the cars exceeded $23 million CAD, and just $6.3 million has been recouped so far through selling 167 vehicles,

as narcity.com reports

.

And there are still a bunch of cars for sale, posted on the

GCSurplus.ca website

. Take a look at the aforementioned Chryslers that were put up for

auction

yesterday: There are multiple 300Cs on offer with the starting bid of $25,343 Canadian and barely over 1,000 miles on the clock; the purchase price of a new, Canadian-spec 300C without motorcade modifications is over $42,000.

Chevrolet Suburbans

are less cheap, as the minimum bid on them is $53,428, but they appear nicely loaded with similarly low mileage and 4WD.

There are also bulk deals, like a five-car pack of police-specification

Dodge Chargers

for a combined $133,000 if you can get them for the minimum bid. Other, less interesting but unquestionably fully serviceable vehicles include

Toyota Siennas

(109 were originally bought),

Ford Escapes

,

Mitsubishi

Outlanders and

Dodge

Journeys.
