Please could I have some advice on buying a used police car, eg. Volvo or Omega.

West Oxfordshire Motor Auctions (see auction directory). Pay about £4,500 for a 150,000 mile 2 - 3 year old V70 T5.

hi hj
What sort of money for an Omega?
|
|
|

£3,000 - £4,000 for a manual 3.0V6 with steel wheels.

Why the hell would anyone want to own an ex-police car?
It's beyond me......
I'm sure my brother would have something to say here...

Don't!!!!!!!!! Unless they are ex " Staff " vehicles which are generally not white.

I wouldn't buy an ex cop car.
Firstly you probably have to get it in white - not good.
Secondly - good chance of it being crashed at some point.
Thirdly - they cannibalise the cars going to auction for parts - so you may find lots of the fiddly bits not working. (mate is ex-polis mechanic)
Third - they leave the engines running all the time so 150k mileage could be more like 200+.
Big exec type police cars are cheap as chips anyway. Buy privately or from an auction with a good colour, leather etc....

anybody see the news about one police force which is going to buy its patrol vehicles in silver metallic as it reckons it will get a better disposal value.
