Buying a HIRTA Vehicle
HIRTA vehicles are sold at public auction or sold for salvage. Vehicles may be sold at the semi-annual Iowa DOT auction or on an internet public auction website. If you’re looking for a used transit style vehicle please look at Public Surplus, eBay or the Iowa DOT (other sites may be available). If you would like to be added to the list of salvage yards who receive sealed bid notices, please send an email request to
