They eat tyres, clutch's are the weak point, brakes take an absolute hammering,
There was a constable in Shropshire who was recorded at a very gas speed,few years ago,that was a 3.2,
They will go off the clock.Millbrook bowl. :)

Not sure wether I would buy an ex police car again.....just a car example of a builders van,ragged and abused as most working vehicles are. Get a bucket of water thrown at them occasionally or battered to death with a pressure washer.Agree that they get what the need service item wise but boy do they need it.Generally the trim levels are a bit sparse and the interiors get knocked about as the cars don't belong to the people that drive them.....just depends on which force they come from and that car in particular,a 2006 with that mileage....Hmmm :-\

AIUI ex plod Vectras are usually 240bhp rather than the 280 VXR - same engine Joe Public can get in a Vectra Elite.

Know what you mean.....back in '04 I brought an ex DPG 3.2 (still have it ::)) with only 40k on the clock,paintwork was fubared and interior was abused and although it had just come out of service it was a mess,but because I wanted it so bad I was sort of happy to let things go.....big mistake!! Lesson not learned.2010 did it again with a non running ex Met 3.0 and that one has cost me so much grief and money I really wouldn't do it again.....well perhaps only just for Josh's black Road Wars car ::) :-X

This is no vxr, its a 2.8t elite looking at the wheels, that said the interior would suggest an sri trim but it's no vxr and as said above would be the 240bhp, they may have it chipped but that again is a bit of a story told many times. The police will buy a vxr or vrs ect and use them for traffic ect but this is simply a 2.8t any joe can buy and there are better examples out there.
