Would you drive a cop car?

Almost purchased a 2006 Impala for $3600 a few weeks ago. Still had the spot light on it which was fun for the two days I test drove it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wouldnt.. think about being on a freeway around a cop.. All the idiots slow down to a crawl, and are afraid to even do the speed limit.. That will be your life.. every day!

Don't worry about the slow down thing. My uncle drives a cop bike (not a cop) and he says they slow down, until he passes them lol

My dad bought a 2006 Crown Vic Police Interceptor w/90k miles two years ago and now he doesn't want it anymore and wants to sell it, so I thought maybe it can be a cheap reliable car to beat around town in. It's bone stock but has the heavy duty police package, a 200 amp alternator, huge trunk and a steel cow catcher for those PIT maneuvers. I did some research and apparently the 2006+ Police Interceptors are the best ones made yet. After this it's all going to be based on the new Taurus.
Beside scaring the shit outta friends and never get anywhere on the road due to people driving really slow around you, would you rock that cop car for $3000?

No I would not..... Do you realize how much idol time that baby has on it. Sitting in the heat idling with the A/C on. That is about the worst thing you can do to a vehicle. If you were talking about a normal person owning it and only having 90k on it that would be one thing. But you are talking about an ex police cruiser. If they were not chasing bad guys, they were logging long hours just sitting in this thing idling...... I would give maybe $1000 if that. And just an fyi, Crown Vics are not notorious for getting loud.......

Uh by the time you buy it, it will already be worn out anyways......

Yeah that's one thing I'm worried about, being an ex-cop car and all it's probably worn to a certain degree. It's just sitting in the garage right now and to be honest it looks and runs like it has 50k miles or less. I'm going to ask the particular police department and see how well they keep their cruisers up, it is a town that has lots of money so I won't be surprised if the cop cars are maintained to peak performance so they can cruise to the donuts shop as fast as they can.

A bit of youtube search and I found a guy with a supercharger on his P71 police interceptor and the 250hp 4.6 modular V8 can be boosted to 600whp after mods, now that's sick.

not really. there's actually a lot of them for sale in really good condition. but like someone also said they have a lot of idle time. but then again, most of the miles on it are highway miles unless you get a city cop car. buying one is a 50/50.

those 4.6 sohc motors are super reliable as well as the *****....they can go 200k+ miles even as a cvpi. ..hell even the 4.6 dohc (300hp) in my mark 8 has been known to go 300k+ i'd buy it..As the poster stated above, they are hard to get loud.....check out crownvic.net...best site i came around when i had mine.
