I have started a thread to see who wants to go along to the police auction at Witney.

They start at 6PM.

Meee!

[JiMbOb789]

are you looking to buy or just for a wonder?

[tunnie]

i want to see what price they go for, will not buy on the first look. Depends if i keep project Elite LPG, cheap it is to run, but we really need an estate as our 3rd megga, having 3 saloons is a bit much  

[sir moanalot]

oh good i may buy some pepper spray and a trunchoen and go on an asbo spree!!

Make sure you look at the catalogue of what is going through before you go down. It is available on the website a couple of days before the auction takes place. You can then see if there is anything of interest.

Just my 2 pence worth but....

Contrary to popular belief, Police Cars are not maintained regardless of cost, they are maintained according to how much (cut by HMG) budget each individual force is able to pass on to its maintenance / garage etc

Computer Service printouts are all well and good but they'll probably be the same intervals as VX (20K oil change on a hard driven car anyone?), tyres should be a good quality but interiors may well be trashed and everyone who buys one will be looking for the same trim as you are.

Wiring in these cars is usually severely hacked about and often decommisioned poorly.

Now if you get the car for very little then these things are irritations that you can sort over time.

I'm not criticising, I'm just purely trying to point out that these cars have generally led a hard life and that must be taken into consideration when you are spending your own hard earned money.

As a project for show use then it's not such a problem, as a daily driver you have to consider that all the time, effort and money required to keep it running....

my aim is to get a cheap v6 estate which can be knocked about, reason want an estate is to take the dog places, and the dog gets in all smelly and wet.... if its pre-trashed thats good!
